The answer to this question is both yes and no. While replacing your shingles alone may not have a huge impact on your energy bills, addressing ventilation issues during the roofing process can make a significant difference.
Surveys show that 3 in 4 homes are not properly ventilated, which can lead to heat buildup in the attic, increased energy use, and higher cooling costs in the summer. By improving the ventilation in your new roofing system, we can help regulate temperatures in your home more effectively, reducing the strain on your HVAC system and potentially lowering your energy consumption.
Proper ventilation is also crucial for ensuring that manufacturer warranties remain valid and for extending the life of your shingles. A well-ventilated roof can help prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and rot. Additionally, homeowners often report energy savings of 8 to 20 percent after improving roof ventilation.
