The WindowDressers, Inc.

WindowDressers is a volunteer-driven non-profit organization dedicated to helping Maine residents reduce heating costs, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions by lowering the amount of heat lost through windows. WindowDressers achieves this goal by organizing community builds where citizens come together to construct insulating window inserts which reduce the need for heat during cold seasons. Customers of WindowDressers reduce their fuel consumption, on average, by 10%-20%, often leading to payback periods of less than a year. 22% of window inserts constructed are donated to low-income families who could not otherwise afford them. Many of these families choose to donate back to the program in order to help others in the community.
