Why St Merryn Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
St Merryn is a village near Padstow, predominantly made up of 20th-century bungalows and newer housing estates — a very different character from the medieval fishing port nearby, and much easier to retrofit for renewable heating. St Merryn is off the mains gas grid, and its relatively modern bungalow housing is well suited to straightforward heat pump installation with good garden space for external units. The village serves the beaches of Constantine Bay, Treyarnon Bay, and Harlyn Bay, and has a significant proportion of holiday homes alongside year-round residents. The BUS grant (£7,500) applies to oil-to-heat-pump replacements. CCS Heating & Renewables serves St Merryn approximately 18 miles from our Redruth base.
Why St Merryn homeowners choose air source heat pump installation
St Merryn sits 18 miles from our base, serves around 2,800 residents, with around 92% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in St Merryn 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
20th-century bungalows (majority), modern detached and semi-detached homes, holiday cottages
- 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."
