Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Polkerris

Polkerris is a tiny fishing cove and hamlet on St Austell Bay, about 25 miles from our base in Pool, Redruth. With a population of around 40, Polkerris consists of a handful of historic cottages and converted buildings clustered around its sheltered harbour beach. The entire hamlet is off the mains gas grid and likely falls within or adjacent to conservation area designation given its heritage coastal character. Properties here are typically stone-built period buildings with solid walls and character features that benefit from the gentle, consistent heat delivery of an air source heat pump. The up-to-£9,000 BUS grant makes switching from oil or LPG highly attractive, and the coastal location ensures excellent year-round COP performance. CCS Heating & Renewables has extensive experience installing heat pumps in sensitive coastal heritage locations across South Cornwall.

Why Polkerris homeowners choose air source heat pump installation

Polkerris sits 25 miles from our base, serves around 40 residents, with around 99% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in Polkerris costs £4,500–£8,500 after the £7,500 BUS grant (£1,500 less with the £9,000 off-gas uplift) and cuts heating running costs by 40–60% versus oil or LPG.
