INSULATION SALES & INSTALLATION
HOME INSULATION
Efficiency Maine Home Rebate Program
We've all been there: you come home from a long day, kick off your shoes and sink into your couch—and the air around you is so frigid that it feels like you're sitting in a freezer. You realize your house drafty, uncomfortable, and just COLD!
Home Insulation might be the answer to your problem.
Why does this matter? Because insulation helps keep your Maine home at a comfortable temperature. It also makes sure that the air in your home stays clean and healthy for you and your family to breathe, which means that it helps make your home more energy efficient and can save you money on utilities.
If you live in Maine, there is good news: the Efficiency Maine tax rebate program gives up to $9,000 back on energy efficiency improvements made to your house. This includes things like insulating attics, cathedral ceilings, all wall cavities, rim joists, basement walls, and crawl spaces.
