What people are saying about Penobscot Home Performance
I requested an audit in order to meet the requirements of the Maine solar rebate program. The audit uncovered some problem spots with an otherwise well-insulated and sealed home, and explained how and where heat moved through the house. The audit itself was an education for me as well as for the builder and architect. We learned a lot about heat flow and proper insulation and sealing during the building process. An energy audit of this quality pays for itself over and over.

Financing Home Energy Upgrades
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Loan
What is a PACE Loan?
In Maine, a PACE loan is a loan taken by a property owner to finance the cost of making a qualified “energy savings improvement” to their property. A PACE loan is different from other loans in that it stays with the property receiving the improvement. If a homeowner sells his or her home before the loan is paid off, the loan can either be paid off at the time of sale or can be transferred with the property to become the responsibility of the new owner.
What Qualifies as an "Energy Savings Improvement?"
An energy savings improvement is a measure to improve the energy efficiency or upgrade the heating system of a house. Common examples are insulation, air sealing, efficient hot water heaters, and better controls and thermostats for furnaces and boilers.
Energy Efficient Mortgages (EEM’s)
Many local financial institutions offer home improvement loans specifically for energy efficiency upgrades. We are happy to check with your local bank to see if one of these options would work for your project.
