Why Lostwithiel Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Lostwithiel — the ancient capital of Cornwall, beautifully preserved on a bend in the River Fowey — is one of the most distinctive markets for heat pump installation in our service area. The town's historic buildings, antique shops, and medieval character attract homeowners who invest in their properties and take a long-term view of energy costs. Many Lostwithiel homes are in the conservation area or are listed buildings, and our engineers are experienced in the planning considerations that apply to heritage properties. The town relies heavily on oil central heating: most properties in the PL22 postcode area are off the mains gas grid, and high oil prices over recent years have made the case for switching to a heat pump compelling. The typical Lostwithiel property — Georgian or Victorian with solid granite walls — benefits from a heat pump paired with appropriate radiator upgrades to achieve comfortable temperatures. The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant specifically targets the replacement of oil boilers with heat pumps, making this the most financially advantageous market for heat pump adoption. The River Fowey flood risk in the lower town affects property planning, and our engineers consider boiler placement and equipment location as part of every survey. CCS Heating & Renewables is just 5 miles from Lostwithiel via the A390, giving us one of the fastest response times for surveys and aftercare in the town.
Common property types in Lostwithiel: Georgian and Victorian townhouses, medieval stone cottages, Victorian terraces, converted apartments (Brunel Quays), new executive homes (Hillside View), rural barn conversions
Cornwall Council conservation area covers Lostwithiel's historic core. BUS grant (£7,500) is available for eligible heat pump installations. The StARR flood management scheme is active in the lower town.

Customer Reviews
What Our Customers Say
"CCS installed our air source heat pump and the whole process was brilliant from start to finish. They handled the BUS grant application, and our heating bills have dropped significantly. The house is warmer than it ever was with our old oil boiler."
James & Sarah T.
St Austell
"We were nervous about switching from oil to a heat pump in our period cottage, but CCS made the whole process straightforward. The heat pump is quiet, efficient, and our oil delivery days are over. Brilliant job."
Mark & Louise R.
Fowey
"Added a Foxstar battery to our existing solar panels. CCS fitted it in a single day and now we use almost all of our solar generation ourselves. The app monitoring is fantastic too — I can see exactly where every unit goes."
