Why an Energy Audit Should Be a Part of Your Spring Cleaning this Year

Back to Blog

Spring is finally here, even in Maine where we’re beginning to see the world slowly come back to life. Like many homeowners from Rockland down to the Portland area, you’re probably feeling reenergized. Taking advantage of more time outdoors is great, but you’re also likely starting some projects around the house.

Everyone has their own list, with projects varying from simply decluttering and deep cleaning to giving the entire yard a complete overhaul. Regardless of whatever items are already on your list, one thing you should add to it is a home energy audit.

Spring is the Perfect Time for a Home Energy Audit

An energy audit is an assessment of your home’s energy efficiency. The experts at Evergreen Home Performance will conduct a thorough investigation of your home to locate areas of inefficiency.

When we know where things like air leaks and spots with inadequate insulation are, we’ll be able to recommend specific upgrades. Our comprehensive report following an energy audit will detail unique improvements that when implemented will increase your home’s comfort, health, and energy efficiency.

Since the weather is finally warmer and you’re not heating your home, but still not turning on the air conditioner, now is the ideal moment to address concerns with energy efficiency and comfort. Many homeowners don’t realize just how much of an impact an energy audit and the subsequent improvements can make. However, if your home was too cold this past winter or your energy bills were through the roof, making changes now will help to ensure the summer and each season after is more comfortable and affordable.

How an Energy Audit Helps Your Midcoast or Southern Maine Home

After an energy audit when you make the suggested improvements, like additional air sealing and increased insulation, you can expect to experience these benefits:

  • Increased comfort at home during the entire year
  • Reduced heating and air conditioning costs
  • Improved indoor air quality for a healthier home

The quicker you act and have the updates made, the sooner you’ll be able to enjoy a more comfortable and healthy home, while accumulating your savings.

Improve Your Home with Help from Evergreen Home Performance

Taking the time this spring to have an energy audit conducted and upgrades made to your home will help you prepare for years to come. You’ll enjoy greater comfort, improved home health, and increased energy efficiency for greater savings on your monthly bills.

First we have Evergreen do a BIG project worth about $20K (windows, basement, insulate & rebuild an entire wall, a door, attics, and air sealing). They were so great we had them come back later when we decided we did want to do our other door. They are professional and do great work. They take care of your home and are trustworthy, and on top of all that friendly! I highly recommend you call them!

We had Evergreen redo the insulation in our roof. The team handling our project did a great job. They left the house spotless. We've already noticed the difference in how much better our house is retaining heat. I would definitely recommend and will use them for future projects.

Thanks Evergreen Home Performance for helping to make our home more efficient. Many thanks as well to Bryan for the initial walk through and recommendations to make our home more efficient and to Dave, Roland, and Jacob for a job that was done professionally and courteous.  We were amazed at the level of efficiency and everyday they made sure to protect our floors, carpets, and furniture. We had daily discussions with Dave about progress and what was being done and where they were at in the project.

The Evergreen crew from initial inception to installation were professional, on time, and left our place spotless. The end result was exceptional.

John Brown

The Evergreen team was amazing from initial assessment and planning to the crew that came to complete the work. Our basement encapsulation is the best money we've spent on our house by far. The work was thorough and high quality. And what a wonderful group of people to work with. I highly recommend Evergreen!

I am very pleased with my experience with Evergreen Home Performance. I met several times with Richard Burbank and he was very detailed in his explanations to all of my questions. He provided me with several options for improving the insulation to our home. The team of installers were very professional and respectful of our home. They did a great job of cleaning up every day after the days work and they were also very responsive to all my questions as well as we collaborated to get our home better insulated. It was a pleasure to work with Richard and…

From start to finish, our experience was incredible. Justin was extremely helpful. The crew was fast, friendly, and efficient. And most importantly, our home is WAY warmer and our heating is less costly. I'd highly recommend evergreen to anyone looking to upgrade their home!

A thorough inspection of our (older) house and its energy needs. Competent and personable work crew.

Jacob Watson

Evergreen has a professional and reliable team of people who do excellent work. If you want the best of the best in the area, select Evergreen to accomplish your insulation needs.

I had gotten estimates from several other companies, but Evergreen was in another league entirely with their professionalism. If you want the job done correctly, I couldn't recommend this company enough.

We needed basement encapsulation to stop moisture coming up into the house from our regularly flooding basement. We had mold growing on windowsills and furniture. All the staff were friendly, respectful of our home, and easy to work with. Humidity has gone from 70% down to 40% and mold has not grown back after two months. Very grateful.

Working with Evergreen was a dream! Professional, knowledgeable, and super clean work. Communication was fast and service impeccable. The bedroom floors in our 1960's split ranch will be warm with the new insulation between them and the garage. Bring on the snow! (not really, but sort of)

Jess Dee Proctor

Evergreen removed and replaced the insulation in my attic. They did a great job!, Crew was excellent, and the whole thing went smoothly, and the attic was NOT easy to get into or work in, so kudos to some hard work done well!
