How a New Roof Can Save You Money on Energy Bills

If you’ve been feeling the pinch from rising energy costs lately, your roof might be part of the problem — and the solution. Many homeowners in Citrus Heights don’t realize how much their roof impacts their home’s energy efficiency. At Citrus Heights Roofing Solutions, we’ve seen firsthand how a new roof can lower energy bills and make homes more comfortable, no matter the season.

Here’s what you should know about how replacing your roof can save you money over time.

Keep the Heat Out in Summer
Sacramento summers can be brutal, and your roof takes the brunt of that heat. Older roofs tend to trap and transfer heat into your attic and living spaces, which makes your air conditioner work harder. That means higher electric bills and more wear and tear on your HVAC system.

Today’s roofing materials are designed to help. Options like cool roof shingles and reflective barriers bounce sunlight away from your home instead of absorbing it. That keeps your attic and interior cooler naturally, reducing how much you rely on the A/C.

Hold the Warmth In During Winter
Just as your roof helps keep your home cool in summer, it also helps keep warmth inside during winter. Over time, worn-out shingles, underlayment, and flashing can create gaps that let warm air escape. You might not even realize how much heat you’re losing through your roof until you see your heating bill.

When we install a new roof, we make sure it’s properly sealed and insulated to prevent heat loss. This small detail can make a big difference in how comfortable your home feels — and how much you pay to heat it.

Improve Attic Ventilation
Many people don’t think about ventilation when they think about their roof, but it plays a huge role in energy efficiency. Without proper airflow, hot, humid air builds up in your attic and raises temperatures throughout your home. That not only drives up cooling costs but can also shorten the life of your roof.

Part of our job when replacing your roof is to inspect and improve your attic ventilation. With the right vents and airflow, your roof and attic stay cooler, your HVAC system runs more efficiently, and you save money.

Savings That Add Up Over Time
A new roof is a big investment, but it pays you back in multiple ways. Lower energy bills, fewer roof repairs, and even potential tax credits for energy-efficient materials all add to the value. Plus, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing your home is better protected from the elements.
