FAQs

How can replacing my roof help lower my energy bills in Hixson?

A new roof reduces energy costs in three main ways: (1) modern shingles and metal panels are engineered to reflect more solar heat, keeping attic temperatures up to 30°F cooler; (2) a tight, properly installed roof eliminates air leaks that let conditioned air escape; and (3) the replacement process lets us add proper attic ventilation and fresh insulation. In Hixson’s hot, humid summers and mild winters, these upgrades can cut HVAC run-time significantly, driving down monthly utility bills.

Which roofing materials are most energy-efficient for homes in the Hixson, TN climate?

For our area, the top energy-saving options are cool-rated architectural asphalt shingles, ENERGY STAR®-certified metal roofing, and white or light-colored TPO membrane for low-slope sections. Cool asphalt shingles have special reflective granules, while metal panels can be coated with high-reflectivity finishes that bounce back up to 70% of solar radiation. Each of these materials performs well in Hixson’s mix of intense summer sun, occasional hail, and moderate winter temperatures.

How much money can I expect to save on utilities after an energy-efficient roof replacement?

Savings vary by house size, HVAC system efficiency, and prior insulation levels, but local customers typically report 10–25% lower cooling costs the first summer after installation. For a 2,000-sq-ft Hixson home with an average $220 summer electric bill, that’s $22–$55 per month, or $265–$660 per year. Over a 25-year roof lifespan, the accumulated savings often offset a large portion of the reroofing investment.

Are there any tax credits, rebates, or utility incentives in Hixson for installing an energy-saving roof?

Yes. Tennessee homeowners can claim the federal Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit for qualifying metal roofs with appropriate coatings (30% of material cost, subject to change). EPB and TVA periodically offer rebates for attic insulation and ventilation added during roof work; programs change yearly, so we’ll help you check current availability and handle the paperwork. Some insurance carriers also offer premium discounts for impact-resistant, energy-rated roofing.

What warning signs suggest my current roof is driving up my energy bills?

Common indicators include: noticeable temperature swings between rooms; HVAC system running almost nonstop on hot days; dark, blistered, or missing shingles that absorb heat; sagging or water-stained attic insulation; and visible daylight through roof boards. If your roof is 15–20 years old or more, these issues signal it’s likely losing its reflective and insulating ability—time to consider replacement.

How long will a roof replacement take, and will my daily routine be disrupted?

Most Hixson roof replacements are completed in 1–2 days for asphalt shingles and 2–3 days for metal, weather permitting. We deliver materials the day before, protect landscaping, and clean up thoroughly each evening. Your power and HVAC remain on, and you can stay in the home throughout the project, although you’ll hear some hammering during daylight hours. Our crew schedules final inspection with you to ensure ventilation, insulation, and energy-saving components are installed correctly.
