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.

We just finished a large project of air sealing and reinsulating our 1890s basement and attic which 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.

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.

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.

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!

Our basement was the eyesore of the house. I wanted to make improvements, but first needed to make structural, insulating and moisture mitigation improvements. Evergreen was professional and competent in taking on a complex project of not only encapsulation and insulation of basement and crawlspace, but completed needed improvements to the structural integrity of the wood floor platform above a crawlspace and brought in a concrete contractor to pour where there was once a rotting, tiered wood platform - replacing that area with a more functional and tight tiered concrete area.

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 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 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.

We are thrilled with the job Evergreen did to transform our 213 year old home into a warm, draft-free, cozy space. The entire team led by Bruce was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and hard working. If Evergreen could transform our home in this way, we are sure they would make a comparable difference in YOUR home!

Evergreen listened and produced a thoughtful evaluation, proposal and comprehensive plan for our attic and basement. They exhibited excellent workmanship, teamwork, and came back as planned after the completion of the job to test the outcomes. Their overall performance as insulation and home improvement contractors is truly outstanding and we highly recommend them.

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

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!
