What is a Cool Roof & How Does it Work?

Stockton's Roofing Experts

What Is A Cool Roof?

The Cool Roof System is designed to increase the reflectivity of the surface area of the roof of your home. It reflects the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet rays of the sun which reduces the surface temperature of your roof and the radiant heat that penetrates a home. Cool roofs are generally a lighter shade that traditional dark roof tiles. Cool roofs have come in many different styles like a roof coating or a sheet covering, but GS Home Services prefers to use reflective shingles. The shingles stand up to time and weather better than their alternatives which means that you will save on roof maintenance in the years ahead.

Why Do You Need a Cool Roof?

Most traditional dark roofs around the world can reach temperatures of 190 degrees Fahrenheit in peak sunlight. This increase in roof temperature contributes to:

Higher electricity bills caused by increased AC usage
Increased temperatures decrease comfort
Roof wear and tear caused by high temperatures wearing down materials
Reduces footprint and reliance on power grid

Benefits of a Cool Roof

By introducing a cool roof system on your household, you can:

Reduce overall energy consumption and lower utility bills
Improve indoor quality of life in non-air-conditioned areas of your home
Extend usability and lifetime value of upgraded roof

In addition to the benefits that a cool roof can have on your home, there are additional benefits to be gained if there are several cool roofs working together in a neighborhood.

Reduces overall local air temperatures
Electricity demand drops which prevents overburdening local powergrid
Reduces energy emissions from power plants that contain CO2, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxides, and mercury

Cool Roof Installation

Deciding on a cool roof installation usually depends on whether the energy savings is enough to offset the cost of the install. How much energy you currently use vs the potential savings is largely dependent on several factors like your home’s climate, how well insulated your roof and attic are, the type of roofing materials used, and the effectiveness of your HVAC system.

The other factor that should be accounted for is the condition of your current roof. If you are already replacing your roof or building a new home, the pricing of a cool roof install should be comparable to traditional roofing. However, converting a traditional dark roof to a cool roof can require specialized help which is why installation and material costs have to be weighed against potential energy and utility savings.

 Verified Chris came to do our annual service. We had a great experience. We are aware that our unit is towards the end of its life but aren't ready for the purchase quite yet. The prior tech had been very pushy and trying to get us to finance a new unit through them however, Chris let us know that he was here to service it and make sure that it is running well and then to get out of our way. He wasn't pushy. He didn't try to oversell us on a product. He simply completed the service that we requested and made it such a lovely experience. We will definitely be recommending Greener solutions to our friends and family. Thanks for such a wonderful experience Chris you're the best.

 Verified Always great service! Carlos came out to clean and service our unit despite having to be out in the rain. He was friendly, personable, and again, great with service, communication, and I love that they take photos. In all the years we've had GS I've never have to guess if we are being taken care because I know we are. Thank you for all you do!

 Verified We scheduled a routine maintenance with Greener Solutions Heating & Air -- and I'm so glad I did! Carlos showed up right on time and was incredibly professional from start to finish. He took the time to thoroughly check and take pictures of every part of the system, clearly explaining what he was doing along the way.
Not only did he identify the problem, but he also fixed it on the spot. My heater is now running better than it has in years! It's heating up my home faster and more efficiently, which I know will save me money on energy bills. We now have peace of mind with the monthly service we signed up for without the pressure of having to invest in a new system right away.
Carlos was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly takes pride in his work. If you need HVAC service done right, he's your guy. I highly recommend him and this company to anyone looking for reliable, honest service. Thanks again, Carlos!
