Arlington, Virginia, with its rich history and vibrant community, is known for its diverse range of homes, from charming older residences to modern new constructions. However, the climate in Arlington features hot, humid summers and cool winters, making effective insulation and air sealing essential for maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures year-round.
At The Fifth Fuel, we have over 30 years of experience and our services are designed to address the unique needs of Arlington homes. Whether you live in a historic colonial-style house or a contemporary townhouse, our expert team can assess and improve your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor health.
Find Out What Your Home Needs with an Energy Audit
We like to start every home upgrade with a walkthrough energy audit of your home. This allows our team to illustrate air leakage and recommend services that meet your needs. During an energy audit, we’ll use specialized tools like infrared thermal imaging to determine where your home is losing energy. If the homeowner chooses to move forward we can incorporate a blower door test to quantify improvements from the air sealing and provide recommendations for insulation and air sealing upgrades, along with any eligible incentives available in Arlington to make your improvements more affordable.
High-Performance Insulation Services
As one of the most effective ways to improve your home’s overall energy performance, insulation is worth it for Arlington homes. The Fifth Fuel utilizes a whole-home approach to find the most reliable method for preventing heat transfer and energy loss. We offer a wide variety of insulation services in the area, including:
- Fiberglass, Cellulose, and Spray Foam Insulation
- Attic Insulation
- Crawlspace Encapsulation
- Wall Insulation
- Insulation Removal
Insulation + Air Sealing = Superior Protection
While insulation helps prevent heat transfer, it won’t do much for air leaks, which could amount to as much energy loss as leaving a window open in your home all year long! At The Fifth Fuel, we always recommend combining air sealing with insulation upgrades because it offers numerous benefits, including:
- Strengthened home structure
- Ice dam prevention
- Improved indoor air quality
- Less HVAC wear & tear
- Reduced heating & cooling costs
