Does a new roof help save money on energy bills?
6 September, 2021
During the colder months, your energy bills will naturally peak. This is simply due to the fact that you’ll have to turn your home’s heating on, which represents a significant cost over the course of the Winter.
However, if your home isn’t suitably equipped to keep this heat in, you’ll find that these bills become far more extortionate. What’s more, it’s a cost that you’ll have to endure each and every year.
Invest in effective insulation now
So, it’s well worth investing in insulating features now, to save yourself significant costs in the long run.
One of the best ways to stop your home’s heat from seeping out of the home and being lost outside is a good quality roof.
The roof is responsible for a huge proportion of heat loss in a domestic home. This is because, as the heat rises, it rises through to the roof and seeps out into the outdoors through the slates or tiles.
The trouble with old roofs is that there is far more likely to be damage or gaps, which dramatically increase the rate at which heat is lost. What’s more, these roofs will have been made with outdated technology and less efficient materials, as our knowledge about home energy efficiency has improved tremendously in recent years.
Did you know that 35% of heat loss in the home occurs through the roof? That’s a huge proportion of your energy bills. So, just think how much you could save by reducing this percentage.
As a result, in answer to the common FAQ ‘Will a new roof reduce energy costs?’, the answer is – yes, absolutely.
With a new roof, you can introduce modern energy-efficient materials to your home. Furthermore, you can restore any damage and choose a provider using the latest roofing technology, without the need to compromise on the overall look of your property.
