Housing stock around Truro

Truro and mid-Cornwall include granite and block construction, older cottages, estate housing and newer developments. Many properties are off the gas grid or only recently connected — fabric and heating fuel both matter.

Heating context

Oil, LPG and electric storage heating are still common outside the denser streets. That makes BUS eligibility and running-cost comparisons especially important before anyone sizes a heat pump.

What we help people in Truro check

Calculator outputs are planning estimates only — not MCS design certificates and not fixed installer quotes. Final design still needs a proper survey.
