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.

Green Home Design
When building a new home or remodeling an existing one, it’s important to understand that building the most energy efficient, well insulated, tightest building within your budget will always pay for itself in the long run. Green, energy efficient homes have a lower carbon footprint, are safer, healthier, and much more comfortable than the average home. But they take careful planning to get all of the different systems to work well together.
Penobscot Home Performance can help you to achieve that energy efficient, green, sustainable home you’ve always wanted.
We offer plan consultation and energy modeling services to help you understand how much it will cost you to operate your new green home. We can meet with you and your builder (or use our builder) to help design and implement the most efficient building assemblies and systems for your new green home.
We will conduct blower door testing and infrared scanning during different phases of the construction process to help ensure that the building envelope is as well defined and as tight as possible. This attention to the details of your building “envelope” is what sets Penobscot Home Performance apart from other companies.
Our highly experienced and trained installation crew understands that attention to detail is critical when it comes to achieving a tight building envelope. We offer complete air sealing and insulation services. We focus on installing the best performing and the most cost effective insulation systems that meet your needs such as cellulose and closed cell spray foam.
Installing the right ventilation system for your new home is another critical component for keeping the air fresh and healthy and maintaining good indoor air quality. We can install ventilation fans and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV’s) as part of our installation package for new, sustainable homes.
From consulting and energy modeling, to building testing, to installation services, we take pride and the utmost care in the building of your new home or addition. We always utilize the greenest, most sustainable building products and technologies. Let our experienced and knowledgeable staff help you to build a green home that is energy efficient, comfortable, and healthy. And that what ”Going Green” is all about.
