Air Source Heat Pump Installation in St Austell

St Austell is the largest town in our service area and one of Cornwall's strongest markets for air source heat pump installation. The town's character is defined by its china clay heritage — the iconic white 'Cornish Alps' spoil tips rise to the north, and many of the housing areas were built to house clay workers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. These Victorian and Edwardian properties, with their granite walls and slate roofs, were built without gas connections, and a significant proportion of St Austell homes in areas like Mount Charles, Poltair, and Bethel still rely on oil or electric storage heating — making them prime candidates for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant when switching to a heat pump. The coastal fringe to the south — Charlestown, Duporth, and Carlyon Bay — is almost entirely off the mains gas grid, with properties averaging £410,000 in Charlestown and £690,000 in Carlyon Bay. These premium homes are well suited to high-specification Daikin and Mitsubishi heat pumps paired with hot water cylinders. CCS Heating & Renewables is based just 3 miles from St Austell town centre, meaning we can offer faster survey scheduling and rapid response aftercare than any company further afield. The nearby Eden Project — just 3 miles north of the town — is driving Cornwall's renewable energy ambitions: Eden Geothermal is actively drilling to develop the first commercial deep geothermal energy project in the UK, a powerful local endorsement of heat technology. Cornwall Council's Climate Emergency Development Plan Document (adopted February 2023) requires all new builds to avoid fossil fuel heating — a policy that is accelerating demand for heat pumps across the town's growing new-build estates at Higher Trewhiddle, Retallick Meadows, and Edgcumbe Green.

Common property types in St Austell: Victorian granite terraces, Edwardian semis, 1930s bungalows, 1950s–70s council estates, new-build executive homes at Higher Trewhiddle and Edgcumbe Green

Cornwall Council declared a Climate Emergency in January 2019, targeting carbon neutrality by 2030. Its Climate Emergency Development Plan Document (February 2023) requires new builds to incorporate renewable energy and avoid fossil fuel heating, making St Austell one of the most grant-active areas in the county.
