Happy Evergreen Team Working On A Project Together

Why Mainers Trust Evergreen

Our process is simple, clear, and built around your needs:

Step 1: Understanding Your Home – and Your Goals

Before we talk upgrades, we listen.

During your free one-hour consult, an Evergreen Energy Advisor will:

  • Learn about your comfort, health, and energy concerns
  • Walk through your home – from basement to attic
  • Identify visible issues like air leaks, insulation gaps, and moisture problems

We focus on finding the root causes of your home’s problems, so that we can recommend long-lasting solutions.

If you decide to move forward, we’ll move right to a full home energy audit – a deep diagnostic evaluation using tools like blower door testing and thermal imaging. This gives us the data to build a custom, building-science-based plan for your home.

Step 2: Expert Upgrades, Designed for Lasting Results

Once we know what’s going on, we get to work fixing it—carefully, completely, and customized to your home.

Evergreen offers comprehensive solutions like:

Step 3: Measuring Your Success

We don’t just say your home is better. We prove it.

After upgrades are completed, we’ll:

  1. Retest and verify the improvements with diagnostic tools
  2. Confirm your home meets Evergreen’s quality and safety standards
  3. Check in to hear about the real, measurable impact you’re experiencing in your home

We love hearing from customers about how their homes feel after Evergreen upgrades! And we always appreciate when our customers tell their friends, neighbors, and Google about what it’s like working with our team.

Making It Affordable: Rebates and Financing

Home improvements should feel good for your wallet, too. When you work with Evergreen, we can help you:

  • Qualify for up to $8,000 in Efficiency Maine rebates
  • Finance the balance with payments as low as $50/month

We’ll guide you through every available rebate and financing option – handling the paperwork where possible and making it easy for you to take advantage of savings.

Awesome company. It was a few years ago that they did the audit and then we commissioned them to do the work. We subsequently sold our house and moved to South Africa, but their level of service and expertise will live on.

Evergreen came back this year to finish insulating our house. We have been remodeling and renovating an 1850s cape for several years. Their employees are very professional and pleasant to deal with. Over several years Brian Robinson has been able to schedule us in for several small areas that needed addressing and finally turning a room we used to close off in the winter into a comfortable usable space. We primarily heat with wood and since Evergreens great work our furnace has only come on ONCE this winter. Fantastic. Really satisfied customer in Thomaston.

We had Evergreen Home Performance of Rockland come in to make our home more energy efficient, and what a TOP notch crew. Brian and his crew did an amazing job from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and professional. We would Definitely highly recommend this crew to anyone who is looking for energy efficiency in their home with a company that truly is an expert and knows how to do a quality job and truly cares about their customer.

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

Jacob Watson

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!

Brunswick

We had Evergreen come out to our tiny old (100+ year old) house to see what they would recommend for decreasing our carbon footprint, saving money, and increasing our comfort in the cold season. Richard and Bryan were great to work with, patiently answering our many questions and walking us through multiple options. We could only afford to tackle a few areas this year; we ended up replacing some windows and having them weatherize the entire house.

In the final stages of selling our home, and with a closing date set, an inspection came across an unanticipated issue in our attic. We quickly called in contractors, but nobody was able to identify the source of the problem. Then we thought of Evergreen. Brian Robinson was on site the next morning and immediately identified the source (a faulty roofing job completed three years earlier which had effectively sealed up portions of the ridge vent and restricted air flow - not easily visible with a quick inspection).

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!

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

I used to spend winters in the bathtub because my house was so cold. This was my first winter roaming around my whole house comfortably. This even led me to decorate a little. My heating oil usage has been reduced by over a quarter: I rarely have to boost the thermostat because the temp stays at a constant. The Efficiency Maine rebates, together with the energy savings, make it affordable for me to pay for the loan I took out to finance the project. I do not worry about my pipes freezing.

Our house still the most efficient home we’ve ever lived in. And we have you folks to thank for that! A special howdy to Brian Robinson please!

Bruce O’Donal and Eva Butler

My husband and I bought a home on the water in Owls Head and decided to make the investment in Evergreen's recommendations for insulation. Brian Robinson spent 3 hours examining every nook and cranny before he made practical suggestions and explained them thoroughly to us.

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.

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.

St. George

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.
