Why St Stephen-in-Brannel Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
St Stephen-in-Brannel is a parish of approximately 7,500 residents covering the villages of St Stephen, Coombe, and surrounding area northeast of St Austell — the largest community on this list and around 5.5 miles from our base in Pool, Redruth. The parish has mixed gas grid coverage, with mains gas available in some established areas while newer estates and outlying properties remain off-grid on oil or LPG. For off-grid properties, the £7,500 BUS grant makes switching to an air source heat pump particularly attractive given average property prices of £220,000–£280,000 where heating running costs significantly impact household budgets. The parish's diverse housing stock — from Victorian mining cottages to modern estates — provides varied heat pump installation opportunities. Cornwall's mild climate ensures excellent year-round COP performance, and most properties have gardens or outdoor space suitable for external heat pump unit placement. CCS Heating & Renewables serves the PL26 area with professional MCS certified heat pump installations.
Common property types in St Stephen-in-Brannel: Victorian mining cottages, post-war council estates, modern detached houses, semi-detached properties, new-build estates

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.

"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."
