Energy Efficiency Upgrades: How Your Roof and Siding Impact Your Spring Energy Bills

Y’all can feel it in the air – those Alabama temperatures are starting to climb, and before we know it, we’ll be reaching for the AC remote. Here at Murphree Roofing Company, we know that spring in Remlap means more than just beautiful blooms and longer days – it also means preparing your home to stay cool without breaking the bank on those energy bills.

Your Roof: More Than Just Protection Overhead

Folks, your roof isn’t just there to keep the rain out. It’s your home’s first line of defense against that powerful Alabama sun. When that summer heat beats down on your house, an outdated or poorly maintained roof can turn your home into an oven faster than you can say “sweet tea.”

Did you know that a quality roof with proper insulation can reduce your cooling costs by up to 30%? That’s right – the investment you make in your roof today doesn’t just protect your family; it protects your wallet all season long. Find more energy savings tips.

Here’s what makes a roof energy-efficient in our Alabama climate:

• Reflective roofing materials that bounce back the sun’s rays instead of absorbing that heat
• Proper attic ventilation that prevents hot air from getting trapped and pushing down into your living spaces
• Quality insulation that creates a barrier between your home and the outside temperatures
• Professional installation that ensures every shingle and component works together as a system

Siding: Your Home’s Shield Against Rising Energy Costs

Now, let’s talk about what covers the rest of your home. Your siding isn’t just about curb appeal, though we all want our homes looking their Sunday best! Quality siding creates an essential barrier that keeps your cool air in and that muggy Alabama heat out.

Older siding often develops gaps, cracks, and inadequate insulation that lets your precious cool air escape faster than kids running to the swimming hole on a hot day. Modern siding options provide better insulation values and tighter seals that can dramatically reduce those energy leaks.

Some of our Remlap neighbors have reported saving 15-20% on their cooling bills after upgrading to energy-efficient siding. That’s money you could be spending on summer vacations instead of sending it straight to the power company!
