Roof Barriers & Insulation Maintain Indoor Temps For Maximum Efficiency.

Have you ever noticed that snow melts faster in some areas of your roof and not in others? Or is it clear of snow before your neighbor’s, even though both your homes face the same sun? These signs of poor insulation mean that heat is escaping your house. A well-insulated attic and a radiant barrier layer under your shingles is the best thermal combination to prevent heat transfer and maintain indoor temperature levels. Proper insulation paired with a new roof keeps your home comfortable without overworking your HVAC system—saving you money.

Picking The Right Color Shingle Helps Control Heat Transfer.

Believe it or not, the color of your shingles impacts your energy costs. Light-colored shingles reflect sunlight, keeping your home cooler during the summer months. Dark-colored shingles absorb heat, making them ideal for colder climates. This thoughtful selection can lead to substantial savings on your energy bills over time. A professional roofing company can help you choose the right shingle color for your specific climate to ensure your home remains energy-efficient year-round.

Proper Ventilation Reduces The Load On Your HVAC & Extends Your Roof’s Lifespan.

Once you properly insulate your attic and add a radiant barrier to your new roof, it may seem counterintuitive to add vents. But ventilation systems are vital in keeping your energy costs down. Intake and exhaust fans act as lungs for your home. They promote natural airflow and prevent hot air from getting trapped in your attic. If hot air has nowhere to go, it will strain your HVAC system as it tries to cool and shorten the life of your roof by warping your shingles.
