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 completed the work at my home thoroughly and professionally. An inspector from Efficiency Maine came to inspect afterwards and described it as "state of the art" and "outstanding". The crew was very pleasant and considerate during the project. Their cleanup each day was perfect. Communications with the office were easy and reliable. I am very satisfied.

Evergreen has just completed Phase 2 of 2 at my home. They are professional, hard-working and courteous. They communicate well..no surprises. They've gone above and beyond to make my home comfortable and were very respectful of my home.I recommend them unequivocally!!!Many thanks to Brian, Brian, Rick, Eddie, Dawson and the rest of the Evergreen crew!!

David Henry Feldman

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.

Linda Metzger

The Evergreen team was amazing from initial assessment and planning to the crew that came to complete the work. Our basement encapsulation is the best money we've spent on our house by far. The work was thorough and high quality. And what a wonderful group of people to work with. I highly recommend Evergreen!

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.

I never leave reviews, but had a great experience with Evergreen and wanted to spread the word! In short, we worked with them to insulate our roof this winter and have noticed surprising immediate results. The constant ice dams I have wrestled with are completely gone, and the home is noticeably more comfortable. It's a little too early to tell if our oil bill is going to reduce, but I imagine we will see an impact there as well.

Thorough, smart, informative, integrated, and communicative -- that's how my experience was with Evergreen even with the covid interruption midstream. The team picked up where they left off, insulated basement and air sealed attic and knee wall in 100' temps under the eaves! This business group was a pleasure to work with.

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.

Evergreen did everything they said they would and more. I actually don't mind going into the basement now since they sealed it. The air quality in the house is noticeably better and it's warmer in the winter. We can even store clothing down there where before, whatever was in there would mildew. Even the spider population declined! I used to vacuum so many of them from the corners of the ceilings in the house. Not any more!

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!

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.

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.
