Efficient Home Services is based in Berwick, right next door to South Berwick, and provides home energy audits, blower door testing and insulation for homeowners in South Berwick, Eliot and the nearby towns along the Maine side of the state line.
Historic Village Homes and Rural Properties
South Berwick's village grew up along the Salmon Falls River, and many of its streets are lined with eighteenth and nineteenth century homes, often with original plaster, little or no wall insulation and attics that leak warm air all winter. Outside the village and across Eliot, which sits along the Piscataqua River between Kittery and South Berwick, you'll find old farmhouses and capes with additions built over generations, mid-century homes, and newer houses on larger lots. Older homes tend to leak at the attic floor, chimney chases and sills, while additions often have mismatched insulation and gaps where old framing meets new.
An energy audit takes the guesswork out of deciding what to fix first, which matters when you want to keep the character of an older house.
What's Included
Each audit includes a blower door test to measure air leakage and locate the drafts, an infrared camera inspection to find missing insulation and hidden leaks, and combustion safety testing for your heating equipment. Optional duct leakage testing is available where needed for homes with forced-air ductwork. You get a written report with costs, estimated savings and prioritized improvements.

Common Questions
How close are you to South Berwick?
Very close. We are based in Berwick, which borders South Berwick, so scheduling an audit is easy.
Can you work on an older home without damaging historic finishes?
Testing comes first. A blower door test and infrared inspection show where the real air leaks and insulation gaps are, so work can be targeted instead of opening up walls unnecessarily.
Is a blower door test part of every audit?
Yes. Every home energy audit we do includes a blower door test.
