Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Looe

Looe is a twin fishing town — East Looe and West Looe, connected by a bridge across the River Looe — and one of the most popular coastal destinations in Cornwall. The town is known as the UK's shark fishing capital and attracts a significant volume of tourists to its beaches and narrow streets. Like Fowey and Mevagissey, Looe's steep hillsides, heritage character, and narrow streets create installation challenges, but the surrounding villages of Polperro, Pelynt, and Lanreath are all straightforward off-grid heat pump opportunities. Much of the Looe area is off the mains gas grid, with oil and electric heating predominating. The £7,500 BUS grant applies to qualifying oil-to-heat-pump replacements. A branch railway line connects Looe to Liskeard on the main line. CCS Heating & Renewables is approximately 14 miles from Looe.

Why Looe homeowners choose air source heat pump installation

Looe sits 14 miles from our base, serves around 5,200 residents, with around 70% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in Looe costs £4,500–£8,500 after the £7,500 BUS grant and cuts heating running costs by 40–60% versus oil or LPG.
