Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Roche

Roche is the largest of the clay country villages, with a population of around 3,680 and a distinctive identity shaped by the famous Roche Rock — a granite outcrop rising 20 metres from the moorland, topped with a 15th-century hermitage chapel that clings to the rock face. The village sits at the edge of the clay district, with the Goss Moor National Nature Reserve immediately to the east and good road connections via the A30. Roche is off the mains gas grid and relies primarily on oil heating, with a significant proportion of homes in fuel poverty. The BUS grant and the HEAT Cornwall scheme (for households earning under £30,000) together mean that most Roche homeowners can access substantial financial support for switching to a heat pump. CCS Heating & Renewables is approximately 6 miles from Roche, and no planning or conservation constraints apply to standard heat pump installations in the village.

Why Roche homeowners choose air source heat pump installation

Roche sits 6 miles from our base, serves around 2,800 residents, with around 78% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in Roche 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

Victorian granite terraces, former clay workers' cottages, inter-war semis, post-war bungalows and estates

• 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.
