75% off-gas: oil is the dominant fuel

Three-quarters of Tywardreath properties are off the mains gas grid. Oil central heating is the norm in the older stone cottages, Victorian terraces, and rural properties that make up most of the village's housing stock. The oil tank access at many Tywardreath addresses is straightforward — the village sits in accessible agricultural land — but oil price volatility remains a persistent concern for homeowners here.

Property types: what heat pump retrofits look like here

Stone cottages in the historic core — thick granite or slate walls, good thermal mass, typically 2–3 bedrooms. We size these carefully: the thermal mass means slow warm-up but excellent heat retention. A 6–8kW ASHP with existing radiators checked and adjusted where needed. The conservation area means rear siting for the outdoor unit in most cases.

Victorian and Edwardian terraces — common along the main village roads. Standard 6–8kW heat pump installation. Most have loft insulation and double glazing already. Existing radiators are often adequate at heat pump flow temperatures.

20th-century semis and detached homes on the periphery — easiest retrofits. Cavity wall construction, modern consumer units, garden space for outdoor unit. Best SCOP figures and lowest disruption.
