WHAT CAN PENOBSCOT HOME PERFORMANCE
DO FOR YOU?
The improvements to your home will result in a more comfortable, energy efficient, healthier living environment.
Rather than focusing on a single component, such as drafty windows, an old heating system, or leaky duct work, we assess how improvements to all of these components can work together to provide:
- Lower energy costs
- Consistent temperature distribution throughout your home
- Better humidity control
- Proper ventilation
- Reduced drafts
- Improved health and safety for your family
- Extended longevity of the home
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Increased house value
- Elimination of ice dams
After the evaluation we will develop a customized plan for your home. Our most common improvements include:
SEALING AIR LEAKS
Air leakage can represent between 5% and 40% of your heating costs. Controlling air leakage is one of the most important functions of what we do. Many air leaks in your home such as around windows, doors, and electric outlets are fairly obvious. Others, like those in attics, around chimneys, and through recessed light fixtures are often a more significant source of energy loss. Having Penobscot Home Performance locate, block, and seal these hidden sources of air leakage is critical to your homes overall efficiency.
ADDING INSULATION
Heat transmission is the average homes leading cause of winter heat loss. Insulation slows heat transmission through your homes floors, walls, and ceilings. We often install additional insulation as part of our energy retrofits. Many older homes are not well insulated and some have no insulation at all. When properly installed in your home, insulation provides for a more even temperature throughout your home. Penobscot Home Performance can help you have a quieter, more comfortable living environment and a reduced energy bill.
