Homeowners are searching for ways to reduce energy costs especially now that Summer is here and air conditioning systems will be turned on to keep cool. However, summertime in Virginia can bring some very hot days.A professionally installed Metal Roof will significantly lower energy costs for cooling a home, while reducing the need to run air conditioning during those hot summer months in Virginia.
Metal Roof vs Asphalt Shingle Roof
Replacing traditional roofs with metal roofing can effectively keep a home insulated and cool. Metal roofs reflect sunlight and it’s radiant heat. Metal roofs remain cool because they reflect up to 70% of the sun’s radiation and lose its heat easily. This results in less heat being transferred inside a home.
Asphalt shingles tend to absorb heat and release the heat into a home once they absorb a certain amount of sunlight. This is why a home feels extremely hot during mid-afternoon when the summer sun is at its strongest. Metal roofing gains 34% less heat than traditional asphalt shingles. Cooling energy reductions of up to 27% were achieved in tests on metal roofing.
