Can a New Roof Reduce My Energy Bills?

A new roof may seem like a daunting and costly investment. But with improved insulation, better ventilation and less maintenance, could the energy bill savings even out the cost? Read on as we discover just how much you could save with a new roof…

Insulation

The number one place you’ll notice a saving is on your heating bills. Just like with walls and windows, the exterior of your home is highly important when it comes to the maintenance of the interior.

With proper insulation and a sturdy new roof, on the other hand, the heat has nowhere to escape. You’ll notice an improvement across your entire property, heating up faster, staying warm for longer and needing less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature.

By tackling scarce areas and poor insulation, you’ll find yourself losing up to 20% less heat than with a tired old roof.

Ventilation

Adding air vents to your freshly insulated attic may seem counterproductive. But having a consistent supply of fresh air is important to maintain the health of your new roof. Without proper ventilation, stale hot air can gather in your loftc and cause damage to your roof tiles or shingles, as well as encouraging moisture to gather.

While air conditioning isn’t a common feature in UK properties, our homes can get hot in the summer months, particularly the loftc. Good ventilation will keep your home at an ideal temperature all year round.

Quality roof replacements

Most importantly, when it comes to saving money with a new roof, you need to make sure your roofer is going to do a quality job. This way, you won’t need to fork out for maintenance over and over again, meaning you could save even more with your new roof.
