EPCS Southwest Ltd provide Energy Performance Certificates for Domestic Properties in South West England. We are and independent, family and locally based company in North Cornwall. 

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required whenever a property is being sold or rented out.

If you are selling or renting out a property you should order your EPC for potential buyers or tenants before you market the property. The information on the EPC will help owners and occupiers make their property more energy efficient and allow potential buyers and tenants to compare the energy performance of different properties.

I will provide your EPC at fair fixed price with no 'extra' costs on the day. The price I quote is the price you will pay. I provide a personal and professional EPC service. I look forward to providing your EPC so please call now to book an appointment.

To order your EPC please call me on 07940 921 315 or email  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I will arrange to visit your property at a time that is convenient to you or your tenant, normally within 48 hours and carry out the EPC survey. On an average domestic property this will take around 30 minutes. I will produce the certificate within 48 hours of the EPC survey. I will then email you a link to your EPC on the official register.  Your Energy Performance Certificate will be valid for a period of 10 years from the date of issue.

Landlord Notice: All private rental properties must now achieve an energy efficiency rating of at least an E on their Energy Performance Certificate. If your property has an F or G Rating you may not be allowed to rent it out. Please call us for advice on how to improve the EPC rating. We have been Recognised Suppliers to The National Residential Landlords Association since 2018.

EPC Rating Tips

2. If you have a hot water tank, make sure there is plenty of insulation around it. Good insulation can make a significant difference to the EPC rating.
3. Loft insulation. If I cannot see the loft is insulated because either I cannot gain loft access or because the loft is boarded over, we have to report insulation as 'unknown' which could have a negative effect on the EPC rating. Please have any paperwork available to prove loft insulation is fitted.
4. Cavity wall insulation can have a substantial impact on the EPC rating. If you have cavity wall insulation which is not visible due to the property having been rendered after installation this can lower the EPC rating as we have to assume there is none. Please make sure you have the paperwork available if your cavity walls have been insulated.
5. If your double-glazed windows were fitted after 2002 and the date is not visible in the units, please have
