While you may not realize it, metal roofs can help home and business owners significantly reduce their energy bills, thanks mainly to metal’s reflective qualities. Roofs made out of materials such as shingles or asphalt, tend to absorb the suns UV rays, while a metal roof reflects them. Not only that, but when a metal roof is installed with proper underlayment and insulation, it performs incredibly well as an insulator during the winter. Read on to find out more about how a metal roof could save you money on your energy bills, and what you can do to make it work even harder for you:
Metal roofs are solar panel friendly While a metal roof is energy efficient on its own, if you choose to add solar panels to it, you could save even more money on your heating and cooling costs. Growing in popularity, and having decreased in price over the years, solar energy systems are a great way for home and business owners to take advantage of energy bill savings, and if you choose the right kind of metal panels for your roof that can withstand the weight of solar panel systems, (your AtlasRoofing contractor can make sure you have the right kind installed), you can have a solar system installed with minimal fuss.
Reduce your home or businesses environmental impact, increase its energy efficiency, and even increase the value of your home with a professionally installed metal roof and solar panel system. Harvest rainwater with your metal roof Run-off water from buildings can be collected and repurposed, and with a metal roof, this is made easy thanks to its durability. Also, with lower concentrations of bacteria when compared to other roofing materials, metal roofs can reduce the number of potential contaminants that could grow there and pollute the harvested rainwater.
Note that all harvested rainwater should be filtered and decontaminated before use, irrespective of the type of roof you have. Metal roofs can be recycled at the end of their long lifespan A metal roof is also an environmentally friendly choice, since the long lasting, durable and environmentally high performing material can be recycled after its 40-70 years lifespan, unlike many other roofing materials. How much could a metal roof actually save you on your energy bills? On average, a professionally installed metal roof can save home and business owners as much as 25% on their annual heating and cooling costs.
So, from the ability to save you up to 25% on your energy bills, to their recyclability and rainwater harvesting potential, metal roofs are the obvious choice for home and business owners seeking to save money while helping to protect the environment.
