Do Metal Roofs Lower Energy Bills?

Yes, metal roofs lower energy bills in Florida. Metal roofing systems reflect a significant portion of solar radiation rather than absorbing it, which dramatically reduces the amount of heat transferred into a building’s attic and living spaces. For Palm Beach County homeowners, where air conditioning represents a major operating expense throughout the year, a metal roof can reduce cooling costs by 10 to 25% compared to a standard asphalt shingle roof. Energy-efficient metal roofing may also qualify for federal energy tax credits.

How Metal Roofing Reduces Cooling Costs

• Solar reflectance coatings reflect 25-70% of solar energy depending on color and coating type

• Standing seam profiles allow air circulation under the panels, further reducing heat transfer

• Cool roof coatings available for maximum energy savings in Florida’s intense sun

• Lighter-colored metal roofing maximizes reflectance and energy savings
