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.

Jeff L.

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.

Kristen H.

South Portland

Evergreen has insulated two homes that we've owned now and both times we experienced exceptional service and craftsmanship. Our rep, Justin, went above and beyond answering questions and the installation team was attentive to every detail, including pulling out old poorly installed insulation and redoing a bathroom fan that wasn't up to current code. They also left the place spotless every day! Our home is already so much warmer this fall and we are looking forward to using less oil this winter.

Eva G.

Falmouth

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

Jacob Watson

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!

John S.

South Portland

We had Evergreen energy do blow-in cellulose. I was very happy with the result. They tested with blower-door before and after. House is now MUCH warmer. Also, in the time since when I've had to open walls for various access, I've been impressed with how they got the insulation packed in everywhere. I'd use them again.

Peaks Island

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.

The team members were very professional, worked very hard, paid very close attention to detail and cleaned up meticulously every day. I really appreciated the care they took knowing the smallest details were going to make a big difference to our heating bills. Thank you!

Pam B.

Brunswick

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.

Rayna Mayo

Freeport

Bryan, Dave and the entire Evergreen team are wonderfully professional, prompt and thorough. I enjoyed working with them and look forward to continued work as we upgrade our home! Thank you so much for your professionalism, fairness, time and diligence.

Cait

Yarmouth

We absolutely loved our experience with Evergreen. The team was incredibly kind, professional and great to work with. We're very impressed with the quality of work of the Evergreen team and how easy they made everything! Our house had barely any insulation ahead of this project and the results are amazing. Insulating the attic, walls and basement with Evergreen allowed us to tear a 50-year-old furnace, ductwork and oil tank out of the basement and now heat the home with new heat pumps. Evergreen also added 100 sq ft of clean, new storage space to the attic!

Nick S.

South Portland

I cant say enough about this company and the benefits that it created for our family. They are very professional and have effectively re-insulated our home. The heating bill proves the point.

Bob O.

Springvale

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.

Kevin J.

Yarmouth

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.

Carol Fink

Evergreen came out 2 years ago to do an assessment and insulate our roof. This year we had them come back and do the basement as well. They are hands-down the best crew we've ever hired to work on our house. They are experts at what they do, and super meticulous in their work. After working in our house for a week with blown insulation, there was no trace they were ever here. We've seen a huge decrease in our energy bills while at the same time the house has become way more comfortable. Can't recommend them enough.
