Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Nationwide

Owens Corning Home Energy Audit in New Braunfels: What to Know First

An Owens Corning home energy audit in New Braunfels typically runs $280-$520 for a full diagnostic package, and we can usually schedule within 48 hours. As an independent Owens Corning service provider, we test the actual performance of installed Owens Corning insulation systems - not just verify that batts are present, but measure whether they’re doing the job they were spec’d to do. Wes Okafor and our crew have audited hundreds of Owens Corning assemblies across Comal County, from the newer builds in River Chase to the older slab homes off River Road where stack-effect leakage runs higher than owners expect.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Owens Corning EcoTouch PINK Fiberglas Batt compression in attic floors. Homeowners in New Braunfels often find batts stuffed into eaves or jammed against junction boxes, which crushes the loft and drops the effective R-value by 30-50%. We pull every compressed batt, air-seal the top plates and electrical penetrations first, then reinstall to full thickness or replace with blown-in fiberglass that fills irregular cavities without gaps.
• Owens Corning AttiCat blown-in settling in homes built 2015-2019. The loose-fill we see in Canyon Lake-area subdivisions has frequently settled 15-20% below labeled depth, especially where original crews skimped on baffle installation and wind-washing pushed material back from the eaves. We measure actual depth against the coverage chart stamped on every Owens Corning bag, add baffles where they’re missing, and top off to true R-38 or R-60 per the original spec.
• Owens Corning FOAMULAR XPS rigid board thermal bridging at rim joists. In crawl spaces common to Garden Ridge and Hill Country Village, we find XPS cut and cobbled with gaps at the seams - the boards insulate, but every gap and butt joint becomes a thermal bridge. We seal seams with acoustical sealant or low-expansion foam, then layer a continuous thermal boundary rather than relying on patchwork boards.
• Owens Corning ProPink blown-in fiberglass misalignment with ductwork in conditioned attics. When flex ducts rest directly on insulation or get buried unevenly, the Owens Corning material creates an asymmetric thermal envelope and the HVAC works harder to maintain setpoint. We map duct layout with thermal imaging, reposition or support ducts on proper stands, then insulate uniformly so the conditioned attic performs as designed.
• Owens Corning WeatherLock flexible flashing tape degradation at kneewall transitions. In bonus rooms over garages throughout New Braunfels, the adhesive on early WeatherLock batches has turned gummy in our heat, creating air bypasses behind kneewalls that batt insulation alone can’t stop. We strip failed tape, reseal with current-spec acrylic flashing, then verify with blower-door subtraction testing to prove the kneewall zone is actually tight.

Our Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Process

1. 1
   Written price first. You send photos or we do a brief site visit, then you get a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone schedules diagnostic work. Haven Standard Clause 1.
2. 2
   Blower-door baseline. We run a pressurization test - depressurizing the house to 50 Pascals and measuring CFM50 - to establish exactly how much conditioned air your building envelope is losing. The number goes on your report before we touch anything.
3. 3
   Thermal imaging and insulation mapping. Our camera shows where Owens Corning batts have slipped, where blown-in has settled below depth markers, and where thermal bridging overrides whatever R-value is on the label. We mark every anomaly on a floor plan you keep.
4. 4
   Duct leakage testing. If your HVAC lives in the attic, we pressurize the duct system and measure leakage to outside - a separate figure from the envelope number, and often the bigger problem in New Braunfels homes where tape has dried out.
5. 5
   Written findings and prioritized scope. You get a photo record, the blower-door number, thermal images with temperature readings, and a ranked list of fixes with individual prices. No package deals, no pressure.
6. 6
   Post-work verification. On any job we perform, we rerun the blower door and hand you printed before-and-after CFM50 readings. The number on the blower-door printout tells you what the insulation did. Everything else is just talk.

What Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Costs in New Braunfels

Homes off the River Road corridor with original slab construction and minimal initial air sealing tend to land at the higher end of audit pricing because we run extended diagnostic zones to isolate the stack-effect bypasses Wes has documented repeatedly in that area. Call (830) 243-6352 for a written price - estimates are free, and we offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.
