It’s easy to point fingers when you begin to notice a high utility bill. You wonder which family member was being reckless with your HVAC units, or forgetting to turn off lights and unplug the electronics. However, sometimes, the culprit isn’t a person at all...it’s your roof. That’s right--your roof can be causing serious damage to your utility bills. Thankfully, you can make it more energy efficient.

4 Ways To Make Your Roof More Energy Efficient
CHOOSE LIGHTER COLORS
This less-practical option can help you out in the long run. If you’ve ever had a dark colored car, you’ll know how hot it gets in the summer. Especially if the car had leather seats, you will know that it is absolutely scorching until your AC cools it down. The same concept can be said about your roof. If you have the choice, opt for a lighter roof color to simultaneously cool the rest of your home.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT MATERIALS
Roofing materials also have a major impact on your utility bill. Slate tiling is lighter in color, and it reflects naturally. Therefore, it’s almost as if you have built in solar panels on your roof before you get real ones installed. It won’t have the same impact, but it’s a great step in the right direction before you give Solertek LLC a call.
GET A COOL ROOF COATING
This is a big investment, but it’s one that will be returned to you tenfold. Cool roof coatings allow you to upgrade your roof without completely overhauling it and getting a new one. These coatings don’t absorb as much heat as your traditional roof structure, and they also give your roof protection from leak damage.
