FAQs
What qualifies as an energy-saving roofing upgrade?
An energy-saving upgrade typically combines high-performance roofing materials (such as cool-roof shingles, metal panels with reflective coatings, or insulated standing-seam systems) with proper attic ventilation and upgraded thermal insulation. The goal is to lower heat transfer into the attic, reduce HVAC load, and maintain steady indoor temperatures year-round.
How much can I expect to save on my utility bills in Evensville with an energy-efficient roof?
Savings vary by home size, HVAC efficiency, and current insulation levels, but homeowners in the Evensville area generally report 15-30 % lower cooling costs in summer and 5-10 % lower heating costs in winter after a full energy-efficient roofing upgrade. Over a 20- to 30-year roof life, that often translates into thousands of dollars in avoided energy expenses.
Which roofing materials offer the best insulation for our regional climate?
For Evensville’s hot, humid summers and mild winters, light-colored cool-roof asphalt shingles or metal roofs with Kynar-500® reflective coatings perform exceptionally well. When paired with an R-38 or higher attic insulation value and a continuous ridge-to-soffit ventilation system, these materials block solar heat gain while allowing trapped moisture to escape.
Are there any local rebates or tax incentives for installing an energy-efficient roof in Evensville?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight® program periodically offers rebates for ENERGY STAR®-certified cool roofs installed by approved contractors. In addition, the federal Inflation Reduction Act currently provides a 30 % Residential Clean Energy tax credit (capped at $1,200 annually for roofing components) for qualifying reflective materials and insulation upgrades. Our team will supply all documentation needed to claim these incentives.
How long does the installation of an energy-saving roof take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most single-family homes can be completed in 2–3 days, including tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, new shingles or panels, and ventilation upgrades. Our crews work in sections to keep parts of your roof watertight at all times, and we use magnetic rollers for daily ground cleanup to minimize disturbances to your household and landscaping.
How do energy-saving roofing upgrades impact my home’s resale value and insurance rates?
A documented energy-efficient roof can boost appraisal values by 3-5 % and often helps homes sell faster because buyers factor lower utility costs into their purchasing decisions. Insurance carriers may offer premium discounts of 5-10 % for Class IV impact-rated cool-roof shingles or metal systems, thanks to reduced hail and wind damage risk. Be sure to notify your insurer once the upgrade is complete to take advantage of potential savings.
