This page is for Anaheim homeowners whose Owens Corning insulation was installed years ago and hasn’t been checked since.

Walt’s Insulation has done energy audits on Owens Corning homes across Anaheim since 2000, and we’ll tell you straight whether your insulation needs help or you’re fine as-is.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Owens Corning makes solid insulation, but nothing lasts forever in an Anaheim attic. Here’s what we actually find when we audit homes with Owens Corning product, year after year:

• Pink fiberglass batts (R-30 or R-38) sagging in cathedral ceilings. Fiberglass batts rely on friction to stay put. After a decade of thermal cycling, they slip, leaving a 2-3 inch gap at the peak where heat pours in. We see this in ranch-style houses throughout Anaheim’s older neighborhoods. The fix is re-seating or replacing the batts, not piling more on top.
• Attic blown-in Fiberglas (pink or white) settled below the joist tops. Loose-fill settles, period. We regularly measure R-30 coverage that’s compacted to R-19 or worse in 15-year-old Anaheim homes. That’s a 30%+ thermal performance loss that most homeowners never know about until we put a thermal camera on it.
• Missing air sealing around can lights and top plates. Owens Corning insulation can’t do its job if conditioned air is escaping around ceiling penetrations. In most Anaheim homes built before 2010, we find gaps around recessed lights, plumbing vents, and wall top plates that were never sealed before insulation went in. Insulation slows heat transfer; it does not stop air movement. This is the most common “hidden” problem in our audits.
• Moisture-compressed fiberglass around roof leaks or bath fan vents. Orange County’s winter rains and the humidity Anaheim gets in late summer create real moisture issues in under-ventilated attics. Wet or once-wet Owens Corning batts lose their loft permanently. We identify this during the audit and inspect the venting that caused it.
• Insufficient attic depth for the R-value homeowners paid for years ago. Owens Corning’s product itself isn’t the failure here; the original install was. We’ve measured attics in Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle condos that were spec’d for R-38 and got R-30. An energy audit with our blower door and thermal imaging shows exactly what’s missing, and a targeted top-up fixes it for a few hundred dollars rather than a full redo.

Our Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Process

Here’s what happens when you call Walt’s Insulation for an Owens Corning home energy audit in Anaheim:

1. 1
   You call (657) 214-8224. A live person answers, day or night. We ask about your home, your energy bills, and what’s been bothering you.
2. 2
   We schedule a time that works for you. No trip charge inside the service county. Our tech shows up in a uniform, badge visible, on time.
3. 3
   We run the blower door test. A calibrated fan depressurizes your home so we can measure how much air is leaking out. In Anaheim’s older stock, we often see leakage rates that mean you’re paying to cool the neighborhood.
4. 4
   We walk the attic and walls with thermal imaging. The camera shows us missing insulation, settled Owens Corning fiberglass, and air leaks you’d never spot by eye.
5. 5
   We inspect ductwork, insulation depth, and existing Owens Corning product condition. We map exactly where heat is entering and conditioned air is leaving.
6. 6
   We give you a written report with actual numbers. Btu loss, air changes per hour, R-value measurements. If work needs to be done, you get upfront pricing before we touch anything. The audit stands on its own: no pressure, no upsell.

What Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Costs in Anaheim

An Owens Corning home energy audit in Anaheim runs $199 to $450 for most single-family homes. Here’s how it breaks down:

• Basic energy audit with blower door test: $199 to $299 for homes under 2,000 sq ft
• Full diagnostic suite (blower door + thermal imaging + duct inspection): $299 to $450 depending on access and home size
• Attic insulation inspection only: $99 to $150 if you just want us to verify R-value and condition
• Duct leakage test add-on: $75 to $150

What moves the price: square footage, attic accessibility, and whether we need to inspect multiple crawl spaces or duct runs. We apply the 10% senior and veteran discount to every audit automatically for qualifying customers, and we don’t charge a trip fee anywhere in our service county. You’ll never get a vague “it depends” without the numbers that come after it. Call (657) 214-8224 for an exact price on your Anaheim home.
