Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Polperro

Polperro is one of the most visited villages in Cornwall — a working fishing village of extraordinary beauty, with whitewashed cottages crowded around a tiny inner harbour and a maze of alleys climbing the hillsides above. The village is almost entirely within a conservation area, and like Fowey, has extremely limited garden or access space that creates challenges for heat pump installation. However, Polperro is confirmed as off the mains gas grid, and the BUS grant (£7,500) makes the switch from oil to heat pump financially attractive. Our engineers' experience in heritage coastal villages gives us the specialist knowledge needed to plan installations that meet both planning requirements and technical standards. Salt air equipment specification and noise planning in dense narrow streets are part of every Polperro installation assessment. CCS Heating & Renewables is approximately 14 miles from Polperro.

Why Polperro homeowners choose air source heat pump installation

Polperro sits 14 miles from our base, serves around 1,600 residents, with around 88% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in Polperro 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

Pre-1900 fishermen's cottages, Victorian terraces, period buildings (most within conservation area)

• 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.
