Albert Frick Associates has designed over 30,000 septic systems (leach beds, drain fields , filter beds) in the State of Maine since the company was founded in 1985. Our designs range from the most basic of pit privies to very large and complex community systems. The firm is intimately familiar with current and proposed codes and regulations governing septic systems. Septic system design (known as Site Evaluation in Maine) is a process during which a thoughtful designer must consider a number of different (and sometimes competing) elements. Even though the design process is complicated, our approach to designing septic systems is very simple. Frick Associates septic designers strive to provide our clients with the most cost-effective and functional septic design to meet their needs. We have a long and successful track record for permitting tough sites, including those from which other septic designers have walked away. For clients who are in the process of building a home, we work hard to fit our septic design into the overall development plan for the lot. We work closely with homeowners, landscape architects, builders and excavating contractors to assure that the septic system is sited in such a way so as to blend into the existing landscape (whenever possible) and does not interfere with other elements of the lot’s design plan. Having a failed septic system is no picnic. The prospect of having to shell out thousands of dollars to replace a failed leach bed can be troubling to most people. Our clients who are in need of a replacement to (or expansion of) their existing septic system will find that our staff of experienced septic designers respond to their needs in an efficient, timely and cost-conscious manner. We strive, whenever possible, to design the least expensive (while still designed to last and fit in with existing site features) type of septic system for our clients. Our innovative Site Evaluators are well-versed in the practical application of the latest technologies, but know that sometimes a simple design is the best design. Every site is different. On some lots siting a leach bed is easy. Other lots require an advanced level of sophistication in terms of septic design. Frick Associates Site Evaluators are specialists in the realm of designing septic systems for “tough sites”. Whether your lot is located on a remote island off the coast and is in need of a replacement septic system or you are looking to develop a new lot and are finding it difficult to fit all of the elements of your construction plan (dwelling, well, driveway, septic system, etc.) into a small building window, trust that our septic designers have encountered the situation before. We’ll work with you to find the septic design that best fits ALL of your wants and needs. Albert Frick Associates septic designers have performed numerous overboard discharge removal projects. We work closely with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and the Division of Health Engineering in order to take wastewater that formerly was allowed to flow into the ocean and design a new septic system that effectively treats it. Albert Frick , our founder and President, is currently working on a prototype septic system for remote island settings. This type of septic design will allow for a much smaller leach field and will in turn require less fill material for construction which can be very expensive and sometimes difficult to get in an island setting. For homeowners and septic system installers, AFA has recently refined a computer-generated fill calculation sheet, based on three-dimensional cross-section information. This Septic System Fill Calculator is located on this website and is provided free for use by our clients and their excavating contractors. The information is obtained on-site during each individual septic design, providing a simple and accurate estimate of the amount of fill needed to comp...

New England Spray Foam is a registered Efficiency Maine Partner that services the entire state of Maine.
"It took two weeks and many calls & emails for Mark to respond to the problem of a leak in the system which caused damage to the ceilings & floor. When he called back we were told that his company didn't have the time to come out. He referred us to another company that does work for him. Two weeks later, someone came to look at the system, said they think they found the problem and told us if it leaked again to call back because we might need a new pump. Well, it leaked. We called. They didn't return the call. So, we called a local guy who was willing to come out that day. When my husband explained what we were told, he said there was no pump involved. And, he was right because with the information we got from the local guy, my husband was able to fix the problem in ten minutes. Very disappointed in the lack of and quality of service from New England Spray Foam."

An energy audit costs about $420 on average, ranging from $100 to $2,250, depending on the size of your home, property, location, and the tests the auditor needs to perform. Keep in mind that the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act’s Energy Efficient Home Improvement credit covers up to $150 of home energy audit costs. Common energy audit tests include:
Blower door test: $350
Duct testing: $100
HERS test: $375
HERS certification: $200
Infrared imaging: $200
To find a reputable energy auditor, find a local company that offers energy audit services. Research the company’s reviews, methods, and certifications to find a reliable professional in your area. The most reputable energy audit companies are HEP-certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI). Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local energy auditor guidelines to ensure you’re hiring a certified professional.
The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to improve a home’s energy efficiency.
A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.
Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.
The three levels of home energy audits include:
Level 1: Review of your energy bills and home for signs of energy inefficiency and areas for improvement. The average cost range is $0.08 to $0.12 per square foot.
Level 2: A level 2 ASHRAE energy audit costs $0.12 and $0.35 per square foot. In-depth analysis of your energy usage and provides a report of cost-saving changes.
Level 3: Comprehensive analysis and detailed recommendations for ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency. A level 3 audit costs about $0.36 to $0.50 per square foot.
