Energy efficient roofs are a smart investment that may initially be more expensive but will soon pay for themselves in a short amount of time. A new energy efficient roof can significantly reduce your energy consumption and save your money on your utility bills as well as:

• Reduced heat absorption: Outdated, dark roofing material will absorb heat at a much higher rate than newer, energy efficient roofs. Reflective roofing material, like metal, greatly reduces heat absorption allowing your home to stay cool in the summer and lower your energy bills.
• Improving insulation: Modern roofing materials offer better insulation from the hot or cold exterior temperatures. This also helps regulate indoor temperatures and reduces the strain on your heating and air conditioning system.
• Weatherproofing: A new roof installation will seal ups existing leaks and drafts, preventing air from escaping. 
• Extends the life of your HVAC system: an inefficient roof means hotter attics in the summer and colder attics in winter. The heat/cold in your attic will transfer throughout your home, causing you to run your heater air conditioner harder than it should.
• Improving indoor comfort for un-conditioned spaces: if you have an unconditioned space, such as a garage or a covered patio, a new energy efficient roof helps to minimize heat absorption which helps to keep these spaces cooler in the summer.
• Adding property value: upgrading to an energy efficient room not only maximizes your energy savings but also adds property value to your home.
