Why Penwithick Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Penwithick is a small clay country village just a short drive from our Redruth base, making it one of the communities we can serve quickly. The village has already seen active renewable energy investment: 78 properties in Penwithick received renewable energy measures through a council-backed energy efficiency programme, one of the highest rates of any village in Cornwall. The planned Carluddon eco-village near Penwithick, designed to incorporate renewable heating from the outset, further demonstrates the area's commitment to clean energy. Penwithick's street names — Tedder Road, Montgomery Way, Mountbatten Close — reflect the WWII heritage of the area. Like all clay villages, Penwithick is off the mains gas grid. The BUS grant (£7,500) for oil-to-heat-pump is available, and the HEAT Cornwall scheme covers eligible lower-income households. CCS Heating & Renewables is your most local MCS certified heat pump installer.
Why Penwithick homeowners choose air source heat pump installation
Penwithick sits 2 miles from our base, serves around 700 residents, with around 85% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in Penwithick costs £4,500–£8,500 after the £7,500 BUS grant and cuts heating running costs by 40–60% versus oil or LPG.
Property types we install in
Clay workers' granite cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war council homes
- Solid-wall stone & granite properties: typically need 2–4 radiator upsizes and benefit from 9–12kW units.
- Inter-war semis & bungalows: usually 8–10kW with minimal fabric work required.
- Off-grid oil or LPG homes: the strongest economic case — running cost drops 40–60% after switching.

We handle every grant application end-to-end, deduct funding directly from your invoice, and register your system where required.

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.

"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."
