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 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 and financing as well as federal tax credits – up to $9,200 in savings with 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 Home Performance shows its expertise from start to finish. Evergreen did three house projects in winter/spring/summer 2020 for me, attic insulation, crawl space under a porch insulation, and basement foam/vapor barrier. From my initial discussion with Bryan, I understood the reasons for choosing different types of insulation, the associated costs, and time estimates. Evergreen scheduled in advance, came when they said they would, and the crews were highly professional in their work and demeanor.

Professional, friendly and hard-working staff. The product/approach they use for insulation is top notch. We felt the difference immediately, both from added warmth and eliminating drafts. The team and management were easily available to answer our questions or coordinate meeting times. Highly recommended.

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".

Ryan Adams

We are so pleased with the work the team from Evergreen Home Performance did in our home. The project included encapsulation of our basement with a reinforced vapor barrier, installation of a sump pump, spray foam insulation on the walls and insulation of the heating duct work. Everyone at Evergreen was friendly and professional. The project was completed on time and in budget. Our home is much cozier and warmer since the project was completed.

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!

The Evergreen Team did a fabulous job, well exceeding our expectations, In just over a week they transformed our very drafty, noisy 213 year old house into a snug, draft-free, quiet haven with warm floors! The team was prompt, did everything they said they'd do and more. We are thrilled!

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.

I made the mistake of NOT hiring this company last year when I bought and renovated my home. I have brought them in now and what a difference. This group knows what they are doing. They take a complete look at everything and believe they can make your home more energy efficient. They are very professional in the way they approach problems and solutions. And they find ways to save me money. Don't bother with anyone else. Bring Evergreen in before you do anything. Let them assess your issues and give you the right solutions.

I have always been impressed by the high level of service, quality of work, and excellent follow-through provided by Evergreen Home Performance in the three projects that they completed at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm over the past several years.

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…

Led by Brian Robinson, the Evergreen Home Performance team just completed an insulation refit at my home. It was truly a great experience from start to finish, a period of time that was a fraction of the time that I originally anticipated due to the team's unbelievable work habits and professional knowledge of their tasks. As impressive were the communication skills and friendliness of each and every member of the team.

I was very impressed by the professionalism of this company and the workers. Brian R. was very prompt in replying to my questions; the crew was meticulous in all parts of the work and attentive to the safety aspects concerning Covid; and Brian was extremely thorough in the final inspection. My attic is now snug and warm and I've noticed that the second floor is warmer as well.

Julia S.

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!

Joel A.

Portland

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.
