Home Insulation Maine is an independent knowledge base — we don't sell insulation, we explain it. When you're ready for the work, we recommend two Maine installers whose practice aligns with the standards on this site: BRF Services and Maine Energy Services. Contact them directly, or send us your project and we'll point you to the right fit.
Recommended installers
Two Maine companies we send readers to
Both firms perform the kind of work this site describes — diagnostic-first weatherization of stick-built Maine homes. Reach them through their websites below. As with any contractor, confirm current licensing, insurance, and Efficiency Maine Residential Registered Vendor status directly with the company before signing; the rebate rules require a Registered Vendor for rebated work.

What to ask for
The assessment any good installer should give you
Whichever company you call, this site's pages describe what a quality engagement looks like. Ask for — and expect — the following, and you'll get a scope built on measurement instead of guesswork:
- A blower door test-in with your CFM50/ACH50 number in writing (what the number means and costs)
- An infrared scan mapping missing insulation and air leakage paths
- Combustion safety and ventilation review — the BPI house-as-a-system checks, with an ASHRAE 62.2 plan if the house will be tightened (the standards explained)
- Seal-then-insulate sequencing in the scope: attic plane and basement air sealing before the insulation goes in (why order matters)
- Your Efficiency Maine rebate tier and net price shown on the quote, with the vendor handling program paperwork (how the rebates work)
- Any MUBEC duties your project triggers called out — especially for additions, finished basements or attics, and camp conversions (the trigger map)
- A blower door test-out documenting the improvement

What to expect
A quality weatherization engagement, step by step
Walkthrough & history
Fuel bills, comfort complaints, ice dam history, prior insulation work, and your plans — a pending renovation changes the code picture.
Blower door & infrared
Whole-house leakage measured (CFM50/ACH50) and the envelope scanned under depressurization so every bypass and missing batt shows itself.
Safety screen
Combustion appliance zone check, CO screen, moisture and ventilation review — the BPI house-as-a-system checklist.
Written plan
Prioritized scope with pricing, your Efficiency Maine rebate tier and net cost, any MUBEC duties your project carries, and projected savings. Yours to keep.
