Your roof is one of the most essential parts of your home when it comes to energy efficiency and keeping your home comfortable in the Central Florida Climate. To help enhance the energy efficiency of your roof, as well as provide other benefits, a process known as weatherization can be performed. In this article, the A.O. Roofing team will help you understand what roof weatherization is and its benefits.
What Is Roof Weatherization?
Weatherization is a term broadly referring to various home improvement activities designed to improve your home’s energy efficiency. This is done by improving properties like:
- Air Sealing: By reducing or eliminating air leaks in your home, you massively increase the comfort and energy efficiency of your home.
- Insulation: By replacing existing insulation that’s not up to snuff, and by adding new forms of insulation, you can better keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
- Moisture Control: Excess moisture in your home can not only be uncomfortable, it can lead to costly damage due to mold growth and rot, so improving drainage and moisture control is essential.
- Ventilation: Ventilation is key for any roof, and your home as a whole. By improving ventilation by adding vents, ducts, and fan systems, you can ensure the air in your home never gets stale and remains a comfortable temperature.
The Benefits of Roof Weatherization
Weatherizing your roof provides plenty of benefits for your home, including:
- Preventing the build up of dangerous carbon monoxide due to poor air flow
- Improving the insulation and temperature stability of your home, so you can live comfortably and spend less on cooling and heating
- Reducing stress and discomfort from factors like stale air and excess heat
- Improving indoor air quality, reducing exposure to indoor pollutants and allergens
