Why Probus Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Probus is one of the towns covered by our county service — see heat pump installation in Cornwall for costs, standards and the full picture.
Probus is a village on the A390 best known for having the tallest church tower in Cornwall — the 15th-century tower of St Probus and St Grace Church, which at 123 feet is a landmark visible for miles across the mid-Cornwall countryside. The village is off the mains gas grid and relies on oil or electric heating. Probus Gardens, a county horticultural demonstration garden, draws visitors to the area. Properties are a mix of traditional Cornish cottages and 20th-century housing. The up-to-£9,000 BUS grant is available for qualifying oil-to-heat-pump replacements. CCS Heating & Renewables is approximately 10 miles from Probus.
Why Probus homeowners choose air source heat pump installation
Probus sits 13 miles from our base, serves around 1,700 residents, with around 80% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in Probus 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.
Property types we install in
Cornish stone cottages, Victorian terraces, 20th-century semis and bungalows
- 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.

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."
