A metal roof can decrease your insurance premium. In some states, like Texas, a metal roof may lower your homeowner's insurance by as much as as 35%.There is also a Government Tax credit (not just a deduction, credit reduces the direct tax amount you have to pay) available to homeowners who obtain a qualifying metal roof for their house.
HEAT CONDITION
Metal reflects radiant heat from the sun, minimizing mid-day heat gain. Though the material itself is low in insulation R-value, many systems utilize a dead air space between the metal roof deck to increase energy efficiency. Many homeowners report and average of a 20% energy savings.
FIRE RESISTANCE
Because metal roofs are noncombustible, they’re given a Class A fire rating (most resistant). Part of a roof’s classification depends on materials beneath the surface that could ignite in intense heat, so some metal roofs applied over and old combustible roof, such as wood shingles, may be rated lower. Metal roofs also lower your home insurance bill due to them standing up to high winds and being fire resistant.
