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.

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.

Last week, my oil company asked if we were using some other kind of fuel because our usage was so much less than they had expected We are very happy with the results; the house is much more comfortable

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would recommend Evergreen wholeheartedly because of their professionalism, their follow through, and thoughtful project planning.

We initially contacted Evergreen through Efficiency Maine for an energy audit, which was conducted promptly and professionally by Justin McEdward, one of their Energy Advisors who is BPI-certified. After a thorough inspection of our newly purchased home, Justin explained in great detail what we needed and did not need. It was agreed that Evergreen would remove all of the existing attic insulation, which was not adequate, and replace it with blown in cellulose, to a rating of R-60.

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

Great team!

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

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.
