Why Wadebridge Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
Wadebridge is the most renewables-aware community in our service area, and arguably one of the most receptive markets for heat pump and solar installation in the UK. The town is home to WREN — the Wadebridge Renewable Energy Network — a community initiative that installed solar panels on approximately 500 homes (around 10% of all houses in Wadebridge), built a 100kW community solar farm at nearby Nanstallon, and ran a dedicated Energy Shop helping residents make the switch to renewable energy. The BBC has described Wadebridge as a contender for the title of 'solar capital of the UK.' This means that when CCS Heating & Renewables surveys a Wadebridge home, the homeowner is typically already informed, enthusiastic, and ready to act. The town straddles the River Camel 5 miles upstream from Padstow, and the North Cornwall constituency surrounding Wadebridge has one of the lowest mains gas connection rates in England — 53.4% of homes are off-grid, relying on oil, LPG, or electric heating. These properties are prime candidates for the £7,500 BUS grant when switching to a heat pump. The historic Grade II* listed medieval bridge of 1468 is the centrepiece of a town that mixes 18th/19th-century conservation area buildings with 1970s estates and the growing 'Cornish Quarter' new-build development. The Camel Trail cycling route to Padstow makes Wadebridge one of the most visited towns on the North Cornwall coast.
Common property types in Wadebridge: 18th/19th-century conservation area buildings, 1930s–70s semis and bungalows, new-build Cornish Quarter development, rural detached homes in surrounding villages
Wadebridge conservation area was extended in 2013. North Cornwall constituency has a 53.4% off-gas-grid rate, making the BUS grant and HEAT Cornwall scheme highly relevant for surrounding rural areas.

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
"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."
Mark & Louise R.

"Had underfloor heating installed as part of our extension and paired it with a heat pump. The combination works brilliantly — every room is a consistent, comfortable temperature. CCS designed the whole system and managed everything."
