Energy-Efficient Shingle Roof Replacement

Why choose an energy-efficient shingle roof replacement?

One major expense for any homeowner is their energy bill. An energy-efficient shingle roof replacement can help reduce this cost, letting you live more comfortably and efficiently. Most shingles absorb heat, which makes your attic extremely hot during the summer months. As temperatures rise, this access heat in your attic starts to affect other rooms throughout your home and force your HVAC system to work overtime. If your AC ducts pass through the attic, they might lose much of their cold air as the hot attic warms the ducts.

Energy-efficient shingles overcome this attic heat problem by reflecting as much heat as possible instead of absorbing it. While normal roofing shingles only reflect about 3% of the sun’s energy, energy-efficient shingles reflect about 20%. This means that during the summer, your attic won’t become as warm with energy-efficient shingles installed. Both you and your AC benefit from this. Since your AC won’t need to work overtime to composate for lost cool air, you’ll be able to save money on your energy bills! The best part is that energy-efficient shingles can be just as customizable as asphalt shingles with a wide range of different colors and tones so you don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics for efficiency.
