Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Nationwide

Owens Corning Home Energy Audit in Boerne: What to Know First

We provide independent Owens Corning home energy audit in Boerne, typically completing the full diagnostic visit in 2 to 3 hours with same-day scheduling available most weekdays. Our written price for the audit itself runs $275-$425 depending on home size and test complexity, and we do not start any follow-up work without a second written scope and price. This page is for Owens Corning homeowners in Boerne who need to know whether their insulation system, air barrier, or duct network is performing as designed, not as assumed. Call (830) 529-7780 to book or to request a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• AttiCat PINK Blown-In Insulation settling in Hill Country heat. The loose-fill fiberglass we find in Boerne attics installed between 2015 and 2020 has often compressed 15-25% below labeled R-value due to thermal cycling and foot traffic during HVAC maintenance. We measure depth across a grid, calculate the real R-value, and recommend either top-off with new AttiCat or conversion to Owens Corning ProCat for better recovery after disturbance.
• FOAMULAR 150 rigid board gaps at rim joists. In crawl spaces around the Cibolo Nature Center area, we’ve seen this XPS board shrink at cut edges, opening thermal bypasses that blower-door tests catch at 50 pascals but visual inspection misses. We remove compromised sections, re-cut to actual dimensions, and seal perimeters with Owens Corning JointSealR foam tape or compatible closed-cell spray foam depending on moisture loading.
• QuietZone batts compressed behind KneeWall boards. Owens Corning’s acoustic batts work as insulation only when full-thickness; in finished attic kneewalls throughout older Boerne subdivisions, we’ve found them compressed to R-11 performance behind 1/2-inch drywall scraps used as fire blocking. We document with thermal imaging, then reinstall to full loft or substitute PROPINK high-density batts where space is constrained.
• EcoTouch batts with facing installed backward. The kraft facing goes toward the conditioned side, but in retrofits we regularly find it oriented to the attic, trapping moisture against drywall in Boerne’s spring humidity spikes. We remove, inspect for mold, reinstall correctly, or specify unfaced batts with separate poly where vapor drive analysis warrants it.
• Total Protection Roofing System underperforming due to attic bypasses. Even premium Owens Corning roof decks lose their designed thermal benefit when can lights, top plates, and chase openings leak conditioned air. Our blower-door test quantifies this before any insulation work; we seal first, then fill it, so the roofing system’s ventilation and insulation components actually function as a system.

Our Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers. We ask square footage, year built, known comfort complaints, and any prior energy audit reports. You receive a text with your technician’s name and ETA the morning of.
2. 2
   Blower-door test. We depressurize the house to 50 pascals and record CFM50, the single number showing total envelope leakage. In Boerne’s 1990s-built homes, we typically see 3,500-5,500 CFM50 before any work.
3. 3
   Thermal imaging and insulation inspection. Our FLIR camera maps missing or settled Owens Corning batts, compressed blown-in, and thermal bridging at studs and headers. We note brand and series where visible.
4. 4
   Duct leakage test. If ductwork is accessible, we pressurize the system and measure leakage to outside. Many Boerne homes lose 20-35% of conditioned air to the attic through disconnected Owens Corning Flex Duct sleeves or failed mastic at plenum joints.
5. 5
   Written findings and price. You receive a documented photo record, the blower-door number, thermal images with annotations, and a flat price for recommended work. No work starts without your signature on a written scope.
6. 6
   Follow-up testing on completed jobs. When we return to seal and insulate, we run the blower door again. The before-and-after numbers go on paper, in pascals, for your records.

What Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Costs in Boerne

Why Boerne Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation Boerne for Owens Corning Work

We’ve been independently owned and operated under The Haven Standard since 2016, and our 9,000+ completed jobs include hundreds of Owens Corning systems in the Hill Country. Wes Okafor, who learned the trade at Olive-Harvey College’s building technology program and has run blower doors for going on eighteen years, set the rule: no insulation goes in until the envelope is sealed, and every homeowner gets the pressure-differential report in writing. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to all work, our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and calls are answered by a live person 24/7. We do not claim exclusive status with Owens Corning or any brand - we source from Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, and others, and we recommend what the house actually needs.
