Why St Dennis Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
St Dennis is one of the most characteristically clay country villages in Cornwall — at one time, 25% of the male working population was directly employed in china clay extraction. The village sits on an isolated ridge surrounded by worked-out clay pits and the dramatic white spoil tips that define the landscape. St Dennis Church occupies an Iron Age hillfort, and the whole community has been designated an 'island settlement' by planners, reflecting its unique geographic isolation within the clay working area. Recent geological surveys have identified significant lithium deposits at nearby Trelavour Downs, positioning St Dennis at the frontier of Cornwall's next mining era. Like all clay villages, St Dennis is confirmed as off the mains gas grid. Heating costs are a genuine hardship for many residents, and both the £7,500 BUS grant and the HEAT Cornwall scheme (for households under £30,000 annual income) are directly applicable. CCS Heating & Renewables is 5 miles from St Dennis and can reach the village quickly via the B3279.
Common property types in St Dennis: Victorian clay workers' cottages, granite terraces, post-war council houses, inter-war bungalows
No conservation area constraints. BUS grant, HEAT Cornwall, ECO4, and HUG2 (Warm Homes: Local Grant) are all potentially applicable for St Dennis residents. High fuel poverty prevalence.

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."
