Home Insulation & Energy Audits in Wells, ME

Wells runs from the coast inland across a wide stretch of southern Maine, with a mix of seasonal cottages, year-round ranches, and older farmhouses. Many of these homes were not built to be used year-round, and the energy performance shows it.

Homes along Route 1, near Wells Beach, and out into the quieter inland sections all share one challenge: insulation and air sealing that was never quite right from the start. That means cold winters, warm summers, and heating and cooling bills that stay high regardless of fuel prices.

Seasonal homes being converted to year-round use are among the most energy-challenged properties in Wells. The work needed to make them comfortable is significant but the rebates available make it more accessible.
