Your Roof, It's so... COOL

Your Roof, It's so... COOL

The color of your roof can make a big difference in your energy bills.
Just think of how much energy and moola you'll be saving!

What's the key?
A white roof or a reflective metal roof.

Here's how it works :
Heat hits your roof
Your roof is white
Heat bounces off the roof
Your house stays cooler
You use less energy
You put less CO2 in the atmosphere
More heat is able to escape the atmosphere

(ok, I think that's how it works... I'm a non-scientist!)

When you are switching your roof, think about metal. It's much longer lasting and is very reflective to heat. Otherwise look the lightest possible shingle you can find.
