Saving money with new Roofings and Energy Saving Tips

If you want to cut down on the amount of money you spend to cool and heat your home, the culprit may be your roof. If you have a leak or hot spots on the roof, your heat is escaping right out of the home. Hire a Memphis roof repair company to come and take a look at your roof to see if you need to re-shingle the roof and add a new liner to it or if you need to fix the vents in the attic to allow for better air flow.

Call a Memphis Roofing company to find out how much you can safe by installing an energy-efficient roof. There are a number of tax breaks available for homeowners that would like to opt for energy efficient products in their home. By installing a new roof, you will qualify for the energy efficient tax break.

Here are some of the new roofings you need to consider in order to save money on energy costs:

  • Foam roofing
  • Membrane roofing
  • Metal roofing
  • Tile roofing

Out of all the energy-efficient roofing options, metal roofing is the most popular. It is very durable and it can withstand just about every type of weather.  As you are researching your options, you need to research different companies that can work on your home. Make sure you get about 3-5 bids before you hire a company in order to ensure you have hired the right company. Here are some of the things you need to talk about with the roofing contractor:

  1. Roof emissivity. This is how quickly heat is released from the home.
  2. Roof insulation. How much insulation is provided with the roof? Will you need to add additional insulation?
  3. Tax Credit. Does the roofing material and installation qualify for the tax break in your state?
