Why St Mewan Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
St Mewan is a tiny rural hamlet of around 150 residents between St Austell and Mevagissey, approximately 4.5 miles from our base in Pool, Redruth. The hamlet is entirely off the mains gas grid, with all properties relying on oil or LPG central heating. This makes St Mewan an ideal location for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant when switching to an air source heat pump. With average property prices of £350,000–£500,000, St Mewan attracts buyers seeking peaceful rural living with good access to the coast and St Austell. The hamlet's stone cottages and detached rural properties have the solid construction and garden space that suit air source heat pump installation particularly well. Cornwall's mild climate ensures excellent year-round COP performance of 3.5+, and the rural setting provides ample space for external unit placement with minimal acoustic concerns. CCS Heating & Renewables serves the PL26 area with professional MCS certified heat pump installations.

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."
