OUR STORY
Founded on Experience, Built for Comfort
York Home Performance was started by two friends, Noah Glatfelter and Robert Silverman, who met at Pennsylvania State University. There, they developed a successful painting service during the summer that used active marketing to reach their customers. Upon graduation, the two decided to launch their home performance business with the goal of improving the comfort of homeowners in the North Central MD and Southern PA areas.
The Personal Touch Starts with a Conversation
Robert and Noah knew they had something going with their candid approach to helping homeowners understand their homes, diagnosing problems and improving comfort. They approached their new enterprise with the goal of providing the best possible service and improving as many Westminster and Essex, MD area homes as possible.
Their trained marketing team started reaching out to homeowners the old-fashioned way—walking through neighborhoods and going door-to-door to reach homeowners. This personal approach helped the business grow and provided valuable home performance information to a much wider group of homeowners.
Professional Approach to Home Performance
Noah and Robert understood the importance of professional training and certification, as well as working with local utilities to provide needed upgrades and services to their customer base. As a result, they’ve focused on providing top training to everyone on the York Home Performance team to ensure safe and thorough services for each homeowner.
All home energy auditors and workers have completed rigorous national certifications and state training to ensure the highest professional standards. We partner with Baltimore Gas & Electric (BGE HPwES) and FirstEnergy Utilities to perform contracting work that qualifies for their Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® programs. We also provide services for PPL Electric WRAP.
