Air Source Heat Pump Installation in St Mewan

St Mewan is a tiny rural hamlet of around 150 residents between St Austell and Mevagissey, approximately 19 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 up-to-£9,000 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.
