Home energy audits

Find out where the heat is going

A certified audit measures your home instead of guessing at it. Two to three hours on site, initial findings the same day, and a written plan that tells you what to fix first and what it will pay back.

Why bother

An audit turns a guess into a budget

Most homeowners know which room is uncomfortable. Very few know whether the cause is the attic, the rim joist, the windows or an oversized furnace, and guessing wrong is expensive. People spend thousands on replacement windows when the same money in the attic would have done far more.

The audit produces a ranked list. Highest impact first, cost attached to each item, so you can do the whole thing or do it in stages over a few years without wasting the money you have already spent.

Because we are both the auditor and the contractor, nothing falls in the gap between the report and the work.

  • Where heat is escaping, measured not estimated
  • Air leakage points, located and documented
  • Whether existing insulation is actually working
  • Health and safety issues including combustion appliances
  • What you qualify for under Efficiency Maine

Efficiency Maine

The audit is what unlocks the rebate

If you are a year-round Maine resident you automatically qualify for a 40 percent rebate on eligible upgrades. Depending on income and household size that can reach 80 percent. The program requires documented pre-project conditions, which is exactly what the audit produces.

We handle the paperwork end to end: eligibility, pre-project documentation, program standards, submission and tracking. Rebate approvals typically come back in two to three days, and checks within two to three weeks of approval.

Rebates are subject to current program rules, so confirm the detail with us before work starts.
