Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Newquay

Newquay: Cornwall's Fastest-Growing Heat Pump Market

Newquay has grown 25.5% since 2001 — the fastest-growing town in Cornwall — and with that growth has come a diverse and expanding heat pump market. From the holiday let Victorian terraces near the harbour (with dated, expensive-to-run gas or electric storage systems) to the state-of-the-art sustainable homes at Nansledan Garden Village, the range of installation opportunities here is broader than almost anywhere else in mid-Cornwall.

Nansledan: Heat Pumps by Design

Nansledan is a 540-acre Duchy of Cornwall development on the western edge of Newquay, planning 4,000 homes to higher energy standards. New homes here are built with renewable heating as the default — many with air source heat pumps and underfloor heating already specified. CCS Heating & Renewables works with Nansledan buyers both pre-completion (spec upgrades) and post-move-in (additional battery storage and EV chargers). See our new build renewables guide.

Holiday Lets: A Specific Opportunity

Newquay has a very high density of holiday lets — properties that have a specific financial case for heat pumps. Holiday let EPC requirements (EPC C required under proposed legislation) are accelerating heating system upgrades. Heat pumps provide reliable, low-maintenance heating ideal for properties that need to perform consistently between guest stays. The solar for holiday lets guide explains the full ROI calculation for Newquay's high-occupancy season.

Coastal Property Considerations

The cliff-top bungalows of Pentire and Lusty Glaze face salt air exposure. External heat pump units for these properties should use stainless steel fixings and may benefit from annual inspection to check for corrosion. All CCS installations in coastal locations use appropriate marine-rated external fixings as standard. With Atlantic air temperatures rarely falling below 4°C in Newquay even in January, heat pump seasonal COP figures here are consistently strong.
