“A well-installed roof doesn’t just protect—it pays you back.”

That’s not just a feel-good quote, it’s reality. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, nearly 25% of a home’s heat loss occurs through the roof. That’s money flying right out of your attic. If you’re tired of sky-high energy bills, there’s a powerful fix waiting up top: a new, energy-efficient roof.

Let’s break it down, what it really means, why it matters, and how Westbank Roofing helps Louisiana homeowners cash in on long-term energy savings.

Why Your Roof Plays a Big Role in Energy Loss

Not all heat loss comes from old windows or drafty doors. Your roof acts like a lid on a pot—if it’s thin, cracked, or poorly insulated, all the warmth (or cool air) escapes. That means your HVAC system is working double time to keep you comfortable, which means more wear, more maintenance… and a bloated utility bill.

That’s where energy-efficient roofing comes in.

What Makes a Roof “Energy-Efficient”?

It’s not just about throwing new shingles on and calling it a day. An energy-efficient roof is built using specific materials and techniques that reflect more sunlight, provide better insulation, and reduce heat absorption.

Here’s what makes the difference:

  • Cool Roof Technology: These are materials—like white TPO membranes or reflective asphalt shingles, that reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat.
  • Insulation Boosts: Fiberglass insulation beneath the roofing surface helps regulate indoor temps better.
  • Proper Ventilation: A balanced attic ventilation system helps reduce heat buildup and moisture, making your home cooler in summer and drier in winter.

Roofing Materials That Help You Save

At Westbank Roofing, we don’t guess. We recommend the right product for your home’s layout and Louisiana’s weather.

✅ Fiberglass Asphalt Shingles – Affordable, durable, and designed to reflect more heat with advanced granule technology.
 ✅ TPO and EPDM Membranes – Great for flat roofs. These membranes are highly reflective and resistant to UV damage.
 ✅ Architectural Metal Roofing – A longer lifespan, sleek look, and outstanding energy performance.
 ✅ Elastomeric Coatings – Perfect for metal and flat roofs. These sealants add waterproofing and thermal resistance.

And if you want to go all-in? Ask about FORTIFIED Roofing—a cutting-edge system that not only protects during hurricanes but also improves your energy efficiency.

The Energy Savings Add Up

Let’s talk real numbers. Homeowners who upgrade to an energy-efficient roof can see up to 15-20% in annual energy savings. In New Orleans and surrounding areas where the summer sun is no joke, that’s real money staying in your wallet.

Bonus: These upgrades also make you eligible for energy efficiency tax credits and insurance discounts, especially if you install a fortified roof.
