ENERGY COACHING

Helping homeowners save energy one house at a time

Survey: How Much Did Your Project Cost?

Help Energy Coaching Programs Gather Data on Home Energy Project Costs!

To inform energy coaches and Maine residents, several towns with Energy Coaching programs are gathering anonymous data on real-world costs of home energy projects such as insulation, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, electrical panel upgrades, solar panels and batteries.

The survey only takes a few minutes, and we need estimates from all types of homes – Please add what you can from energy projects you’ve done in the past three years, and share the link with friends!

All responses are anonymous; results will be aggregated and shared with coaching programs.

Questions? Contact amanda@beechhillresearch.com who designed the survey as a volunteer for the Camden-Rockport Energy Coaching program.

Energy Coaching

Camden-Rockport Energy Coaching is a free program to help local residents find ways to reduce their home energy use and get financial help with the costs of upgrades.

Weatherizing homes and installing efficient heating systems can provide great returns for homeowners: 

  • Keeping heat in and reducing drafts
  • Ongoing cost savings
  • Better indoor air quality
  • Reducing greenhouse gas pollution 

 

How Energy Coaching Works

Our energy coaches are community volunteers who undergo thorough training to guide residents in planning and implementing home energy updates:

  • insulation and weatherization
  • heat pumps
  • heat-pump water heaters
  • solar panels and battery back-up

 

Coaches visit your home in pairs and provide follow-up information to help you

  • Assess opportunities for home energy improvements
  • Decide where to start
  • find contractors and compare estimates
  • Access expert sources to answer technical questions
  • Locate rebates and and programs you’re eligible for
