While the primary function of your roofing system is to keep the harsh elements at bay, it can also help maintain your home’s energy efficiency. But how exactly does your roof make this possible?
Proper Insulation
Every roofing system should have proper insulation in the attic. By serving as an effective thermal barrier, the insulation helps prevent outdoor temperatures from leaking into the attic and interfering with your HVAC’s performance. Proper insulation can also prevent significant energy loss. It does so by ensuring that heating or cooling energy won’t escape into the attic (one of the areas in your home that doesn’t actually require it). There are many types of attic insulation available in the market. If yours has become old and damaged, have it replaced promptly to retain your home’s energy efficiency.
Sufficient Ventilation
Attic ventilation is an integral part of roof design. It can help you save energy by keeping the attic cool and dry, which it does so by delivering smooth and continuous airflow throughout the space. With proper ventilation in place, there’s less chance of excess heat buildup in the attic during the summer – a problem that can cause your air conditioning system to work overtime and make it consume more energy in the process. If your attic ventilation has issues, it may need a necessary upgrade from a trusted roofing contractor like Crown Roofing LTD.
Solar Reflectance
To keep your air conditioning costs to a minimum, you should consider choosing asphalt shingles with excellent reflective properties. The more effective your shingle roof at reflecting solar energy, the more energy-efficient it is. And you don’t have to look very far for a trusted source of high-quality roofing materials.
