Why St Neot Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
St Neot is one of the most remarkable villages in Cornwall — famous for its parish church of St Anietus, which contains arguably the finest medieval stained glass in England: 16 windows dating from around 1500. The village won Calor Village of the Year in both 2004 and 2006 and the Village of the Decade — Calor being the LPG supplier, confirming the village is firmly off the mains gas grid. St Neot sits at the edge of Bodmin Moor, with Dozmary Pool (associated with Arthurian legend) within the parish. The moorland-edge setting means properties here can experience cooler winters than coastal areas, making an efficient heat pump design particularly important. The £7,500 BUS grant makes switching from LPG or oil to an air source heat pump highly attractive, with Cornwall's overall mild climate still delivering excellent COP performance even at moorland-edge altitudes. CCS Heating & Renewables serves the PL14 area from our base in Pool, Redruth.
Why St Neot homeowners choose air source heat pump installation
St Neot sits 11 miles from our base, serves around 800 residents, with around 96% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in St Neot 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
Medieval and Georgian stone cottages, Victorian terraces, farmhouses and agricultural conversions, detached rural properties
- 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.

"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.

"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."
