Why Truro Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Truro — Cornwall's only city and its administrative capital — is one of the most important markets for heat pump installation in the region. While the city centre has mains gas, the extensive residential estates surrounding Truro, as well as the satellite villages of Threemilestone, Shortlanesend, Chacewater, and Perranwell, are largely off the gas grid. The Trelander estate — Truro's largest social housing development — along with Malabar, Rosedale, and Gloweth are areas of higher deprivation where the HEAT Cornwall scheme offers free renewable energy measures for households earning under £30,000. The premium residential areas of Kenwyn and Highertown, where detached properties average £531,000–£880,000, represent a strong self-funded market for high-specification Daikin Altherma and Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pumps. Truro's location at the head of the Fal estuary creates a mild, humid microclimate that suits air source heat pumps well — the milder Cornwall winters mean heat pumps operate at higher efficiency than in colder parts of the UK. Cornwall Council is headquartered in Truro, and its commitment to carbon neutrality by 2030 makes the city a showcase for renewable heating policy. The new Langarth Garden Village development — 3,550 homes planned to the northwest of the city — will require renewable heating by design, creating a major new installation market over the coming decade. CCS Heating & Renewables is approximately 15 miles from Truro via the A390, and we have completed installations across all areas of the city.
Common property types in Truro: Georgian and Victorian terraces (many listed on Lemon Street and Ferris Town), 1960s–80s social housing (Trelander, Malabar), 1930s–40s semis (Tregolls), modern detached homes (Kenwyn, Highertown), new-build Langarth Garden Village
Cornwall Council — headquartered in Truro — leads Cornwall-wide climate policy, targeting carbon neutrality by 2030. The HEAT Cornwall scheme provides free renewable energy measures for low-income Truro households. Truro conservation area covers the city centre and Lemon Street Georgian terraces.

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
"Our old boiler gave up in February and CCS had a new Worcester Bosch fitted within days. Excellent service, fair price, and the engineer was polite and thorough. Highly recommend to anyone in Truro and the surrounding area."
Helen P.
Truro
"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."
