On its BBB profile the company describes itself as offering energy evaluations, infrared scanning, air sealing, insulation and other energy-efficiency retrofits, plus consulting and testing on new construction. A greenmainehomes.com article has quoted Paul Shepherd, co-owner of Penobscot Home Performance, which it describes as assessing homes in Down East and Central Maine. Its BBB grade is A+. A 2023 customer said they used the Efficiency Maine rebate program to have PHP add attic blown-in insulation and basement panel insulation, and that the crew was considerate and clean with their traffic through the house. A 2022 customer said they hired PHP for an energy audit, new attic insulation and bathroom vents, all required for the Efficiency Maine rebate. That customer said Matt was responsive to email, which made the initial consult, scheduling and rebate paperwork easy. **Strengths:** - Rebate-program insulation — a 2023 customer said PHP added attic and basement insulation - Easy rebate paperwork — a 2022 customer said Matt's email replies made it easy - A considerate crew — a 2023 customer said the crew was clean in the house ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Offers energy evaluations, infrared scanning, air sealing and insulation, according to its BBB profile _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/me/bucksport/profile/energy-conservation-products/penobscot-home-performance-0021-138439) — “About (Better Business Bureau, self-described): Penobscot Home Performance offers energy evaluations, infrared scanning, air sealing, insula…” - Paul Shepherd is quoted as co-owner of Penobscot Home Performance on greenmainehomes.com _(confidence: medium)_ - [Local News](https://greenmainehomes.com/blog/2018/7/28/beer-basements-energy-audits) — “greenmainehomes.com — says Paul Shepherd, co-owner of Penobscot Home Performance , which assesses homes in Down East and Central Maine.” - BBB grade of A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/me/bucksport/profile/energy-conservation-products/penobscot-home-performance-0021-138439) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - 4.5 stars on Google from 8 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Penobscot%20Home%20Performance&query_place_id=ChIJgfTz2MxarkwRXoD4ngU9cRU) — “Google: 4.5★ from 8 ratings” - A 2023 customer said PHP added attic blown-in insulation and basement panel insulation under the Efficiency Maine rebate program _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNoaGZiamN3EAE!2m1!1s0x0:0x15713d059ef8805e!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIChhfbjcw%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ We used the Efficiency Maine rebate program and had PHP add attic blown-in insulation and basement panel insulation.
