Knauf Home Energy Audit Nationwide

Knauf Home Energy Audit in Inglewood: What to Know First

An independent Knauf home energy audit in Inglewood typically takes 2 to 4 hours, costs between $295 and $495 depending on home size and test scope, and gives you a room-by-room map of exactly where your home is leaking conditioned air. We are not an authorized Knauf dealer or service provider, but we work with Knauf insulation products every week and know precisely how they perform, degrade, and fail inside Southern California homes. This page is for Inglewood homeowners who own a home insulated with Knauf fiberglass batts, blown-in fiberglass, or blowing wool and want to know whether it’s still doing its job. If that’s you, call (424) 622-5846 and a live person will answer and schedule your audit.

How Knauf Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Knauf makes solid insulation, but no product is invincible in Inglewood’s heat, marine-layer humidity, and pest pressure. Here’s what we actually find during audits in this city:

• Knauf EcoBatt Kraft-Faced Batts - Compressed Edges from Poor Installation. The kraft paper facing gets stapled too aggressively or folded incorrectly, compressing the fiberglass and cutting R-value by up to 30%. During a thermal imaging inspection, we spot these as cold stripes along stud bays. Our fix: remove the facing staples, re-fluff the batt to its rated loft, and restaple with the proper 1-inch inset.
• Knauf Jet Stream Blown-In Fiberglass - Settling in Attic Corners. Blown fiberglass settles over time, but Inglewood’s dry heat accelerates it in homes without adequate attic ventilation. Homeowners see R-30 attics performing like R-21. We verify with a core-depth test during the audit and top off with matching Knauf material when the loss exceeds 20%.
• Knauf Insulation Board (R-6 and R-10) - Rodent Tunneling in Crawl Spaces. Inglewood neighborhoods near Morningside Park and along the 405 corridor deal with rats and mice that chew tunnels through rigid foam board. We identify voided cavities during blower door and infrared testing, then remove contaminated board, air seal the penetration points, and install fresh Knauf board with rodent-proof detailing.
• Knauf EcoRoll - Vapor Barrier Trapping Moisture Against the Drywall. Homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s often have a misapplied vapor retarder. In Inglewood’s marine-influenced air, the kraft facing can trap condensation inside wall cavities, leading to hidden mold. We catch this on thermal imaging as unusual cool patches and recommend corrective air sealing plus dehumidification where needed.
• Knauf Blowing Wool in Sloped Ceilings - Gravity Slump Behind Knee Walls. Cathedral ceilings and bonus rooms above garages (common in Inglewood’s older bungalows) lose insulating loft as gravity pulls blowing wool downhill. The upper sections become thin, and the lower sections pack tight. Our audit pinpoints the exact rafters affected, and we correct it with dense-pack or batt replacement in those cavities.

Our Knauf Home Energy Audit Process

Here’s how a real Knauf audit goes from the first call to the report, based on the hundreds we’ve done across Inglewood:

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers (424) 622-5846, asks about your home’s age, square footage, and what’s bothering you - high bills, hot rooms, drafts, or all three.
2. 2
   Knauf product identification. Our technician inspects the attic, walls, and crawl space to identify exactly which Knauf products you have, their condition, and their installed R-value. We photograph everything.
3. 3
   Blower door and thermal imaging. We depressurize the house to measure total air leakage, then scan every ceiling, wall, and floor with an infrared camera. Knauf-specific issues show up as temperature anomalies that tell us exactly where insulation is missing, compressed, damp, or rodent-damaged.
4. 4
   Duct leakage test. Inglewood homes with forced-air systems routinely lose 20 to 30% of conditioned air through leaky ducts. We test with a duct blaster and give you the CFM loss and the exact locations.
5. 5
   Same-visit repairs when practical. We don’t hand you a report and disappear. If we find a compressed batt, a settling attic, or an air-sealing gap that’s straightforward to correct, we often fix it the same day because most jobs are completed in a single visit.
6. 6
   Your written report and 90-Day Done Right Promise. You get a prioritized action list with photos, measurements, and exact recommendations. If anything we touch isn’t done right, we make it right within 90 days - in writing.

One thing Neil Ashford will tell you when he reviews your report: the work should speak for itself - and so should your energy bill. That’s the standard we hold every Knauf audit to.
