Free Energy Maine is a full-service, energy assessment and consulting agency providing residential energy assessments, blower door testing, thermal camera imaging and project consultation and management.
"Impressive commitment to customer satisfaction. We contacted Free Energy Maine for an energy audit of our 100 year old house and decided to reinsulate the attic, basement, and main living spaces. Opted to take advantage of project management service and have interior portions of exterior walls demo’d and reinsulated with spray foam, with cellulose blown in on second floor and inaccessible portions of first floor, as well as the replacement of two exterior doors. Very satisfied with the results. Our house is now significantly warmer and quieter than previously and we are already seeing decreased energy usage this winter. Erik and Andrew were very responsive to questions and concerns and swiftly and skillfully managed contractors to get the work done properly. We felt like our project was a priority to the company and Free Energy Maine’s commitment to ensuring that the work was done promptly and properly was absolutely outstanding. Their intent to establish an ongoing relationship with clients rather than complete a transaction is unusual and refreshing and we will be in touch for more projects in future."

Old insulation should be removed when it shows damage, contamination, or heavy deterioration. If you notice water stains, rodent droppings, mold, or large gaps, plan on taking it out to protect your home’s energy performance and indoor air quality. Removing compromised material eliminates health hazards, cuts energy loss, and sets the stage for a safer, more efficient attic—all while keeping utility bills in check.
R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow—the higher the number, the better it slows heat transfer. The right R-value keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, saving energy year-round. Match the rating to your climate zone and have a pro verify performance over time, because moisture or settling can lower R-value and cut efficiency.
Attic insulation can stay in place for 80 to 100 years, but its performance often drops after the first 15. As dust, moisture, or mold build up, the material loses R-value and allows heat to escape. Schedule periodic inspections so a pro can tell you when replacement makes sense—helping you keep energy bills down and indoor comfort up.
You can over-insulate an attic. Beyond the recommended R-value, extra layers don’t add efficiency and can trap moisture, leading to mold or reduced performance. A local insulation pro can measure current levels, confirm the right target for your climate, and advise on any adjustments so you avoid future energy or maintenance headaches.
Insulation can be damaged by mold, pests, water leaks, or accidental electrical contact. When the material is compromised, it loses R-value and can introduce health hazards. Removing and replacing affected sections restores efficiency, while routine inspections from a qualified pro help you catch problems early and keep your attic safe and energy-smart.
