The Breathable Home: Bringing Healthy Energy Efficiency to Farmingdale, ME

At The Breathable Home, we understand the unique challenges of maintaining energy efficiency while preserving the integrity and health of homes in Farmingdale, ME. Our team of qualified pros is dedicated to finding the perfect balance between creating a tight, well-insulated home and ensuring proper ventilation for optimal indoor air quality. We believe that every home in Farmingdale deserves to be both energy-efficient and healthy for its occupants.

Farmingdale, ME, is known for its rich history and beautiful, traditional New England homes. Many of these homes have stood the test of time, thanks to the skilled craftsmanship of local carpenters who understood the importance of allowing a home to breathe. However, as energy costs have risen and building materials have evolved, the need for a more comprehensive approach to home efficiency has become apparent. That’s where The Breathable Home comes in.

Understanding the Importance of Home Breathability

The concept of a “breathable home” may seem counterintuitive when the goal is to create a tight, energy-efficient space. However, our team at The Breathable Home knows that proper ventilation is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Poor air quality can lead to a host of issues, including mold growth, mildew, and health problems for residents. By focusing on breathability from the start, we ensure that your Farmingdale home remains both efficient and healthy.

Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of your home’s current breathability. We use state-of-the-art testing equipment to measure air leakage, moisture levels, and indoor air quality. This initial evaluation helps us identify areas where improvements can be made, ensuring that we address any potential issues before beginning work on your home. Throughout the process, we keep breathability at the forefront, making it the first and last thing we test before considering our job complete.

Balancing Energy Efficiency and Indoor Air Quality

The challenge in creating a breathable home lies in finding the perfect balance between energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Traditional Maine carpenters understood the importance of allowing homes to breathe naturally, but with rising energy costs and advances in building materials, this balance has become more difficult to achieve. At The Breathable Home, we use our expertise to navigate this challenge, ensuring that your Farmingdale home remains both efficient and healthy.

Our solution is simple: build tight, use the right products, and ventilate right. By creating a well-sealed envelope, we minimize heat loss and improve overall energy efficiency. However, we also recognize the importance of using high-quality, breathable materials that allow for proper air exchange. This approach, combined with a carefully designed ventilation system, ensures that your home maintains optimal indoor air quality while still reaping the benefits of increased energy efficiency.

Customer Reviews

My experience with this company has been exceptional. The house is an envelope design that had not been maintained by any of the previous homeowners. The insulation was no longer good and after an incorrect insulation job by another company Tom was able to correct the problem.

Christina R.

Drew and his team at the Breathable Home are a breath of fresh air in the very tricky business of winterizing old Maine homes in a sustainable fashion. We have had extensive dealings with a half-a-dozen companies in this line of business and The Breathable Home is the only one that takes a comprehensive view without charging a fortune.

I was very Happy working with The Breathable Home on my new construction. They insulated, installed Heat Pumps and and air exchange system. The inspector from Efficiency Maine said “This is the best heat pump installation I have EVER seen!” As a new home owner, this was great to hear. I highly recommend The Breathable home.

Mark W.

The Breathable Home is one of the best subs that I’ve used in building any home. Their prices were very competitive but the care and thought that the installers used went above and beyond anything I had a reasonable expectation of receiving. The installers were experienced, knowledgeable and personally engaging.
