The Fifth Fuel

I had my attic insulation removed and replaced with blown-in cellulose by The Fifth Fuel / Southland Insulators, and the experience was excellent. The crew was professional, kept my home spotless, and clearly explained the process, including photos before, during, and after the work. They foam-sealed all seams, joints, and vents, installed new roof baffles, and finished with a deep, even layer of cellulose—top-notch attention to detail. I worked with Will T., who was knowledgeable, responsive, and refreshingly low-pressure, acting more like an energy consultant than a salesman. I highly recommend The Fifth Fuel / Southland Insulators. — Charlie H.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Fifth Fuel. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. They air sealed and reinsulated both my attic and crawl space, and the difference was noticeable almost immediately—my home feels more comfortable, more efficient, and quieter. They took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and left everything clean and tidy when the job was done. It’s clear they take pride in their work. I highly recommend Fifth Fuel to any homeowner looking to improve comfort and energy efficiency.

We had a great experience working with Fifth Fuel from start to finish. Communication was clear and responsive, scheduling was straightforward, and the crew was professional and efficient. The attic insulation work made an immediate, noticeable difference in comfort throughout our home—especially on the upper levels. Everything went smoothly during the install, and Will followed up afterward to make sure there were no issues and to answer questions. He also took the time to thoughtfully walk us through options for improving basement insulation down the line, explaining the pros, cons, and ROI in a way that felt honest and practical rather than salesy. Overall, we felt well taken care of and genuinely appreciated the follow-through and transparency. Highly recommend Fifth Fuel if you’re l

I had a great experience having Fifth Fuel insulate an addition and the attic in my home. Josh was very professional, responsive, and helpful. I thought they had reasonable prices for the quality of work provided. I had spray foam, batting, and blown foam installed. The only challenge was the day they booked the work, the installation team said that the truck for the spray foam was having an issue. They had to come back another day to do that work, but they were communicative and helpful to address the issue and reschedule. Overall I would recommend Fifth Fuel and am happy that my home is better insulated. I've already felt the comfort benefits over this cold winter and look forward to the same in the summer.

The Fifth Fuel of VA was recommended to us by our neighbor. They did not disappoint. The crew took care to cover all the surfaces in the living room and moved the plants and items in their path. They did a great job insulating the attic and insulating the access doors. They also insulated the crawlspace under the house. The crew was extremely polite and courteous. They took care to clean up after they finished their work. I would highly recommend them.
