Steel roof helps HVAC energy efficiency

A metal roof has thermal properties that help to keep your home warm in winter and cool in winter. This is especially true if the roof is properly insulated.

“Metal roofs can save up to 40 percent on energy costs” in warm climates, says The Spruce, a site that reviews housing products and other items.

A steel roof also lasts 50 years or more, far longer than an asphalt roof, and parts of it can be recycled, too. However, the upfront cost is much higher than an asphalt roof, and the steel roof will be slippery, making it a maintenance concern.

If you are considering a steel roof, be sure to check with a qualified HVAC contractor to get real-life insights into all the pros and cons of a steel roof.
