Getting smart with energy efficient shingles is like getting smart with your kitchen appliances. There’s one common goal: To Save Money. During the summer months, you will find that the temperature soars within the roof space if you have an unreflective rooftop. The air will become far hotter than the surrounding ambient temperature. This heat will inevitably find its way through to top floors and attic space, so the air conditioning will have its workload increased considerably. A much less expensive solution in the long term would be the replacement of the roofing material with a more refreshing, reflecting alternative.
Beat the Heat with a Money-Saving Alternative
It’s often quite expensive to replace a roof, of course, but it is only a one-off cost, not an overhead, as this is your home’s most significant hot spot, the replacement will result in all probability pay for itself over the years. If you don’t have the budget for a complete replacement, you may get comparable results with far less expensive roof coatings which deal with the issue.
