How a Properly Installed Roof Affects Utility Bills
Installing a new roof has many intangible benefits that go beyond providing better protection to your home from the elements and increasing your property value. You can also save on utility bills. As one example, a roof with holes, inadequate ventilation, poor insulation, and other structural issues, can actually increase your heating and cooling costs. Warm and cool air will escape, forcing you to constantly readjust your thermostat. As a result, your energy bills will soar.
Here are some benefits of installing a new roof:
Energy Efficiency
Proper insulation and ventilation will offer improved airflow by curtailing heat transfer from the inside to the outside of your home. Asphalt shingles are a good choice because they are cost-effective and durable. They are treated with reflective granules to absorb UV rays, which keep your home cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. Maintaining a constant indoor temperature will keep energy costs at a manageable level.
Lower Heating Costs
A new roof will have better insulation, thus keeping your house warmer in the winter by trapping warm air indoors. Choosing dark-colored shingles will also help retain heat.
Lower Cooling Costs
The improved ventilation and insulation that are components of a new roof will provide relief during the hot summer months. Air will circulate better and reduce your AC bills. In addition, choosing light-colored shingles will reflect the sun’s rays and keep your home cooler.
Environmental Impact
More consumers become cognizant of their carbon footprint, which a new roof will help reduce. By consuming less energy to heat and cool your home, you are making a global difference, however small it may seem.
