However, it’s essential to approach energy efficiency with a holistic mindset, taking into account factors such as indoor air quality and moisture control. That’s where The Breathable Home comes in.

The Importance of Breathability in Energy-Efficient Homes

In the past, homes were built with natural materials that allowed them to “breathe,” meaning that air and moisture could pass through the walls and roof. While these homes were not as energy-efficient as modern homes, they did have the advantage of promoting healthy indoor air quality. Today, as we strive to make homes more energy-efficient, we often sacrifice breathability in the process, leading to potential issues such as mold, mildew, and poor indoor air quality.

Our Process: Building Tight and Ventilating Right

At The Breathable Home, we believe that energy efficiency and breathability are not mutually exclusive. By using the right materials and techniques, we can create homes that are both tight and breathable. Our approach involves a comprehensive assessment of your home’s current performance, followed by targeted improvements that address both energy efficiency and indoor air quality.

When you work with The Breathable Home, you can expect a thorough and systematic approach to improving your home’s energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Our process begins with a comprehensive home energy audit, which includes testing your home’s air tightness and assessing its ventilation needs. Based on the results of this audit, we develop a customized plan to address your home’s specific needs.

The Benefits of a Breathable Home

By working with The Breathable Home to improve your home’s energy efficiency and indoor air quality, you can enjoy a wide range of benefits, including:

Lower energy bills: By sealing air leaks and improving insulation, you can significantly reduce your home’s energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills.

Improved comfort: A well-insulated and properly ventilated home is more comfortable, with fewer drafts and more consistent temperatures throughout.

Healthier indoor air quality: By controlling moisture and ensuring proper ventilation, you can reduce the risk of mold, mildew, and other indoor air pollutants that can impact your health.

Increased home value: Energy-efficient homes are in high demand, and by investing in your home’s performance, you can increase its resale value.

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.

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.

David Z.

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.

Jon M.

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.
