Do Metal Roofs Lower Energy Bills?

Yes — metal roofs can significantly lower energy bills for Palm Beach County homeowners. Metal roofing reflects solar radiation rather than absorbing it, reducing heat transfer into the attic and living space. In Florida's intense sun, a cool-roof rated metal roof can reduce cooling costs by 10–25% or more compared to a dark asphalt shingle roof. Energy Star-certified metal roofing products provide maximum solar reflectance and thermal emittance.

How Metal Roofing Reduces Energy Costs in Florida

• Solar reflectance: Metal reflects a higher percentage of solar radiation than asphalt shingles

• Thermal emittance: Metal releases absorbed heat quickly instead of holding it

• Air gap: Standing seam profiles create an air channel under the panels for additional ventilation

• Light colors: Light-colored metal roofs reflect even more solar energy
