Increasing Your Home’s Energy Efficiency Through Roof Washing?
Dirt, algae, mold, and other debris can quickly accumulate on roofs in Florida due to the
state’s humid climate. Roof washing may seem like a superficial improvement, but it can
actually help your home save energy. Keeping your roof clean has unexpected advantages,
such as a reduction in energy costs and an improved visual appeal, which we at
New Standard Roofing Orlando would like you to know about.
The Energy-Saving Benefits of a Clean Roof
Darker shingles and other roof surfaces absorb more sunlight, which causes them to get
hotter. The amount of sunlight reflected and absorbed by your roof changes when dirt, algae,
and moss cover it:
Roofs become more heat-absorbing when algae and mold grow on them.
The interior and attic temperatures of your home will rise due to this additional heat.
The increased effort required to cool your home by your air conditioner is causing your
energy bills to rise.
In sunny Orlando, it is especially vital to wash your roof to remove these heat-trapping
impurities and to maintain the reflecting characteristics of the roof.
Roof washing helps save energy by lowering the amount of heat that gets into the attic.
Keeping your attic at a more comfortable temperature is as simple as keeping the roof clean.
Saves Money on Cooling
Your air conditioner won’t have to work as hard or as often if your attic is cooler.
Roof Life Prolonged
Preventing shingle deterioration that could diminish insulating efficacy is possible by
removing algae and mildew.
Makes Indoor Environments Cosier
Having less heat transmission means that your living area will be more comfortable all year
round.
