Heat from Thin Air

Cornwall’s forward-thinking homeowners discover financial and environmental benefits through renewable heating technology.

Standing at the forefront of a new age in home heating GreenGenUK is ready to instigate this transformation, guiding property owners toward sustainable solutions that combine environmental responsibility with practical comfort.

The company specialises in air source heat pumps, an innovative technology that extracts warmth from the surrounding atmosphere – even on chilly Cornish days – and efficiently converts it into household heating. With the government currently offering a substantial £7,500 incentive toward installation costs, the financial barriers that once deterred homeowners from making the switch have significantly diminished.

“The technology represents a genuine alternative to traditional fossil fuel systems,” explains a recent convert from Truro, whose Victorian terraced house now maintains a consistent temperature throughout winter at a fraction of previous costs. “The difference in our monthly outgoings has been remarkable.”

GreenGenUK’s approach is thoroughly tailored to individual circumstances, with three distinct packages – Essentials, Enhanced and Elite – designed to accommodate varying requirements and budgets. Each installation is handled by technicians who understand the unique challenges presented by Cornwall’s diverse housing stock, from granite-walled cottages to contemporary coastal developments.

For those particularly drawn to energy independence, the company also offers complementary technologies such as solar panels and battery storage systems. These additions prove especially valuable during Cornwall’s luminous summer months when excess energy can be stored for use during darker periods.

Beyond immediate comfort, these systems add tangible value to properties while substantially reducing carbon emissions – a dual benefit that resonates strongly with the county’s environmentally conscious residents. The technology operates discreetly, with modern units designed to integrate unobtrusively with existing architecture.

As Cornwall continues its journey toward sustainability, companies like GreenGenUK provide the practical means for residents to participate meaningfully in this transition while enjoying the financial advantages of reduced energy consumption.
