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.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pumps in Probus

01
How much does it cost to fit a ground source heat pump in Cornwall?
A complete ground source installation in Cornwall is typically £18,000-£32,000 before grants: £11,500-£16,800 for the heat pump, cylinder, controls and commissioning, plus £6,000-£14,000 for trenched or slinky ground loops or £12,000-£22,000 for vertical boreholes. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme takes £7,500 off, or £9,000 until March 2027 if you are replacing oil or LPG and have no mains gas connection, and installations in homes are zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027.
02
What are the downsides of a ground source heat pump?
Two, mainly: cost and disruption. The ground array is most of the extra money over an air source system, and it means either trenching roughly 2.5 times your heated floor area or drilling boreholes. On a small garden the trench option disappears and drilling is the only route. Against that, the heat pump sits indoors with no outdoor unit, seasonal efficiency is typically 4.0-4.8 against 3.0-3.5 for air source, and the buried loop long outlives the heat pump itself.
03
How much land do you need for a ground source heat pump?
For horizontal collectors, roughly 2.5 times the heated floor area of the house, trenched at about 1.2-1.5 m deep — so a 150 m² house needs something like 375 m² of diggable ground. Slinky coils fit the same collector length into shorter trenches. Where there is no land, vertical boreholes of typically 90-150 m each replace the trenches and take a fraction of the surface area.
04
Is ground source better than air source in Cornwall?
It is more efficient and more expensive. Ground temperatures here stay around 9-12°C all year, so a ground source system runs at a seasonal efficiency of about 4.0-4.8 against 3.0-3.5 for air source, with no outdoor unit and no noise assessment. Air source costs roughly half as much to install and fits any property. Since the Boiler Upgrade Scheme now pays the same for both, the decision comes down to available land, disruption and how long you will own the house.
05
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Cornwall?
Air source heat pumps on houses are permitted development under Class G of Part 14 of the GPDO as amended on 29 May 2025 — one unit on a terraced or semi-detached house, two on a detached house, up to 1.5 cubic metres, meeting the MCS 020 a) standard including a 37.0 dB(A) limit at a neighbour's window. In a conservation area or the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site the unit cannot go on a wall or roof fronting a highway, or nearer a highway than the house. Listed buildings need permission. Ground source heat pumps have no Part 14 limits.
