Greenlight Roofing and Remodeling Releases New Blog Highlighting How Roofing Material Choices Directly Impact Energy Bills for Texas Homeowners
Aledo, Texas — Greenlight Roofing and Remodeling, a trusted leader in roofing solutions throughout Aledo, Hudson Oaks, and the greater Parker County region, has published a new educational blog post titled “How Roof Material Choices Impact Energy Bills in Texas.” The article explores how different roofing materials influence home energy efficiency, especially in climates known for extreme heat.
With Texas homeowners facing rising energy costs and sweltering summer temperatures, the blog breaks down why the roof plays one of the most critical roles in regulating indoor comfort and controlling monthly utility expenses. Drawing from industry insights and the U.S. Department of Energy’s findings on cool-roof technology, the article explains how roofing materials with high solar reflectance and thermal emittance can significantly lower air-conditioning demands.
Roofing Materials and Their Real Impact on Energy Bills
In the blog, Greenlight Roofing and Remodeling compares popular roofing options—such as asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, and slate—and explains how each performs in a hot-climate environment like North Texas. Key takeaways include:
- Asphalt shingles, while common, traditionally absorb heat. However, updated “cool” shingle technology now incorporates reflective granules that improve energy performance.
- Metal roofing stands out as one of the most energy-efficient solutions available today, naturally reflecting up to 50% of solar radiation. This makes metal roofing an optimal choice for homeowners looking to reduce cooling loads and long-term energy costs.
- Tile and slate roofing offer natural ventilation and superior thermal insulation thanks to built-in air gaps beneath each tile.
- Synthetic and composite roofing materials now incorporate improved reflective technologies, offering more choices for homeowners seeking energy savings.
The blog also emphasizes the importance of selecting roofing systems specifically designed for Texas climates—such as light-colored surfaces and cool-roof coatings—to further reduce heat absorption.
