Why Assess Your Maine Home’s Energy Efficiency?

Why Assess Your Maine Home’s Energy Efficiency?

Does Your Home Feel Off? Find Out What Actually Going On

Many Maine homeowners live with cold rooms in the winter, high energy bills year-round, and upstairs rooms that are too hot in the summer. But these are symptoms – not root causes.

Getting to the bottom of the problem is where our team of building science experts comes in. We see too many local homeowners in Portland, Rockland and beyond waste time and money on repairs that don’t actually fix the issue for good before calling us!

With Evergreen as your local guide, you can understand how your home uses – and loses – energy, putting you in the driver’s seat to make smart decisions that improve:

  • Year-round comfort
  • Energy efficiency and utility bill savings
  • Air quality and moisture control
  • Your home’s long-term value and performance

Plus, we’ll show you how to maximize Efficiency Maine rebates of up to $8,000 plus financing options that make your home upgrades affordable.

Efficiency Isn’t Just About Saving Energy – It’s About How Your Home Feels

Maybe your new heat pump is running, but the living room is still chilly. Maybe your thermostat says you’re sacrificing your comfort but your utility bills say otherwise. Or maybe your floors are cold, your basement gets wet and musty after it rains, and you’re tired of worrying about your home’s air quality.

These issues are common in Maine homes – but they’re also fixable through services like insulation and air sealing, and basement waterproofing.

Evergreen Can Help You:

  • Discover what’s really causing your comfort or cost problems
  • Plan out effective home upgrades
  • Understand what solutions will make the biggest impact
  • Qualify for Efficiency Maine rebates up to $8,000 and financing as low as $50/month!

Here’s how we do it:

As one of the leading energy audit companies in Maine (we’ve done more than 15,000 since 2005!), Evergreen starts our process with a free consult, where we talk through your concerns, walk through your home, and help determine whether your house is a good candidate for efficiency upgrades.

If it makes sense to move forward, we’ll conduct a full Maine home energy audit during the same visit, using diagnostic tools like a blower door test and thermal imaging to establish a performance baseline. That way, when work is complete, we can measure the improvements and show you the results.

Your Path to a Better – Performing Home Starts Here

You don’t have to know which services you need – we’ll help you figure that out.

What matters is that you’re asking the right questions about your home. We’re here to help you find the answers, and walk with you through the solutions.

Evergreen did a fantastic job insulating our 1930's home. The onsite team was professional, clean, and really just a joy to interact with throughout the process. A blower test at the end showed a significant decrease in air leakage. I highly recommend Evergreen.

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.

The crew members from Evergreen Home Performance each made sure to greet us every day, while maintaining their distance in this time of the pandemic. Their work took a total of nine days, spread over three weeks. Even though they were working in multiple rooms of our house, as well as the basement and attic, they were unobtrusive and always cleaned up after themselves every day. The on-sight manager kept us informed of their daily schedule so we'd know which parts of the house they'd be working on.

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.

Nothing but good things to say. The guys that came and did the actual work were extremely nice and did a great job. The energy audit was thorough and I was presented with multiple improvement options, I was even given ideas for improvement that Evergreen didn't offer. I never felt like I was being "sold".

Great job installing windows and insulation.

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…

We just finished a large project air sealing and reinsulating our 1890s basement and attic. It had been completely renovated 8 years ago, but still felt cold, and lacked proper energy assessment and corrections. We met with Justin in December and were very impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and communication skills and knew Evergreen was who we wanted to work with. Dave was our on hands project manager and was excellent. The office staff has been quick to respond and helpful as well when needed.

Really great experience from start to finish with Evergreen. They helped us prioritize what needed to be completed first, and has made a significant difference in our hearing costs already. Plus they were really friendly and considerate to work with!

This team of individuals was professional at all times. They set up barriers that kept the dust at a minimum. They conducted an air flow audit and cut the draft circulation from the outside in half by sealing cracks. They hauled out the old insulation and replaced it with blown in insulation with an R - 60 Value. They also did the rebate paperwork so that I could get my $1500.00 rebate from the state of Maine. I highly recommend Evergreen Home Performance!

Evergreen was so helpful in securing us Efficiency Maine funding for a big attic insulation project early this winter. They did all of the paperwork, and totally guided us through a vermiculite removal process that included a payment from a trust for the procedure. I could instantly feel the second floor being so much warmer than before. The boiler does not kick on nearly as frequently since they completed the job. It was worth every penny! Brian Robinson was so thorough throughout the whole process including a full walk through after the job had been completed.

Update 12/2018: Evergreen has completed Phase II of my house (insulating and installing air/moisture barrier on exterior walls, replacing old windows) and now that heating season is upon us, the difference is astonishing. The house is tight as a drum and so easy to keep warm. Worth every penny. Thank you all! Working with Evergreen was a positive experience from start (no charge energy audit) to finish (a MUCH more comfortable home). Brian Robinson spent a lot of time with me on the audit, explaining clearly what he was finding in my ca.

Very Satisfied with the work performed by Evergreen. Professional employees, high quality work done in a timely manner. My sales rep was Justin, and he was phenomenal During the initial walk around my house, he gave me great ideas for how to improve the efficiency of our home. We will consult with Evergreen for our future home projects.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Evergreen Home Performance. Everything including the initial consultation, the fabulous work crew, the office support and the final resolution was handled in a caring and professional manner. My only regret is that I did not know about them earlier. I enthusiastically recommend Evergreen to anyone with concerns about home energy use.
