Why Sticker Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Sticker is a village of approximately 1,150 residents between St Austell and Mevagissey, around 5 miles from our base in Pool, Redruth. The village has mixed gas grid coverage — while some properties in the core are connected to mains gas, a significant proportion of the village and surrounding area remains off-grid on oil or LPG. For off-grid Sticker properties, the £7,500 BUS grant makes switching to an air source heat pump particularly attractive given average property prices of £275,000–£350,000 where heating costs significantly impact household budgets. The village's mix of former mining cottages, Victorian terraces, and modern detached properties offers varied heat pump installation opportunities. Cornwall's mild climate ensures excellent year-round COP performance, and most Sticker 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.
Why Sticker homeowners choose air source heat pump installation
Sticker sits 5 miles from our base, serves around 1,000 residents, with around 90% of homes off the mains gas grid — one of the strongest signals for heat pump suitability. A typical 8–12kW system in Sticker 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
Former mining cottages, Victorian terraces, modern detached houses, semi-detached properties, bungalows
- 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.

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."
