Your roof isn’t just a layer of protection—it’s also a major factor in your home’s energy efficiency. With the right roofing materials and proper installation, you can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs while keeping your home more comfortable year-round.
At Master Pro Construction, we help homeowners choose roofing solutions that combine durability, style, and energy savings.
Why Roofing Impacts Energy Efficiency
Your roof is exposed to the sun, wind, rain, and snow every day. Depending on the materials you use, it can either:
-
Absorb and trap heat (raising cooling bills), or
-
Reflect sunlight and improve insulation (lowering utility costs).
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, energy-efficient roofing can reduce cooling demand by 10–15%.
