Why Pentewan Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Pentewan is a small but distinctive village on the south Cornwall coast, with a conservation area covering its historic core and a harbour that was silted up by china clay waste — a legacy that tells the story of Cornwall's industrial past. The village sits within the Pentewan Valley, flanked by Pentewan Sands holiday park to the south and the cycle trail to St Austell along the old tramway to the north. Pentewan is confirmed as off the mains gas grid, with oil central heating the dominant fuel for most properties. The conservation area restricts the more visible solar and heat pump installations, but many homes have rear gardens or roof areas away from the street frontage where equipment can be discreetly sited. The £7,500 BUS grant applies to Pentewan's oil-heated homes. CCS Heating & Renewables is just 4 miles from Pentewan and serves the village and its surrounding countryside.
Common property types in Pentewan: Historic cottages and period properties (within conservation area), modern residential development on the village periphery, properties associated with the holiday park
Pentewan conservation area covers the historic core. BUS grant (£7,500) available for oil-to-heat-pump replacements. Cornwall Council AONB protections apply to the surrounding coast.

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
"After much research we chose CCS for our heat pump installation and we are so glad we did. They took the time to explain everything, handled the grant paperwork, and the installation was completed in three days. Very professional team."
