What people are saying about Penobscot Home Performance
Paul and Matt performed an energy audit for our 80 year old home this past spring. They were very professional as they explained what they were testing, how and why. During the audit they discovered many areas in our home that had cold air pouring in (and heat pouring out!). They walked us around the house using the thermal imaging camera to show us all the trouble areas, although in some places it wasn’t needed as we could feel the draft easily!
They also checked our boiler & water heater for efficiencies and safety and pointed out small exhaust leaks that needed attention in both appliances. After the audit they discussed several projects we could do ourselves, as well as a full report of the projects they could do for us and how soon they would pay for themselves in lower fuel costs. Equally as important, they didn’t try to sell us on more expensive projects that didn’t have good payback times.
In the end we opted to have our basement and attic sealed and insulated, as well as a more powerful and quite bathroom fan to get excess moisture out of our home. Great job guys and looking forward to the savings this winter!

New Construction Testimonials
Our goal in working with Penobscot Home Performance on our new construction was to end up with a home that was energy efficient, comfortable and healthy. We could not be happier with the results. Our heating bills this winter have been very reasonable. We have absolutely no drafts and the temperature within our home is remarkably stable despite significant outdoor temperature swings - even in the spring and fall when our heat and AC are off completely. Matt and Paul were extremely helpful and professional throughout the process. More importantly, they helped us prioritize the components of our insulation package so we could make decisions that let us get the most bang for our buck while staying within our overall budget.
