Build it Tight and Ventilate it Right
A tightly sealed home will conserve energy, reduce heating and cooling costs, and make your home healthier and more comfortable. Without proper ventilation, however, that carefully sealed and insulated home can also trap indoor air pollutants, including moisture.
Hazardous gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and radon can seep into any home through openings in floors and walls, or be emitted from household appliances such as stoves, dryers, or water heaters. Even common household items can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that evaporate at room temperature—chemicals like paints, varnishes, air fresheners, or cleaning supplies. In poorly ventilated homes, these substances can accumulate and cause serious health issues. High temperatures and humidity can further increase the concentration of some indoor pollutants. Read more

What people are saying about Penobscot Home Performance
Matt, we want to thank you and your crew for their fine work. They arrived promptly each day, worked efficiently, and left our house clean and picked up the end of each day. We will be interested to see the difference the insulation makes in our roof and home this winter.

Here Comes Spring!
Winter is finally making its annual exit, and the first signs of spring are upon us. If you’re like most homeowners in Maine, the warmth of Spring is a welcome change from this past heating season. Even now, nights and mornings are still cool and our heating systems are still chugging along. Most folks are looking forward to these next few comfortable months when it’s not too hot or too cold.
Spring is the perfect time of year to tally up this past seasons heating bills and make a plan to have a more efficient and comfortable home before next winter.
It’s also a great time to consider ways to keep your home cooler on those hot summer days ahead. Adding insulation and air sealing your home now will keep your home cooler this summer as well as warmer next winter!
Contact Penobscot Home Performance now for your free home energy consultation and learn how you can make your home more comfortable and energy efficient.
Chris & Dan just left after doing the Efficiency Maine air sealing. VERY IMPRESSED with their professionalism & the diligent effort they put into it. Showed up ready to work just before 8AM. Scoped it out, explaining to me throughout the process what they were doing & why. Amazing how much work a two man crew can do in three hours. It's a big old rambling farm house, so the drop in CFM from the blower door wasn't that dramatic, but seeing where they focused their time and effort, I'm sure I'll notice a significant change next winter. I'd highly recommend them and Penobscot Home Performance to anyone.
