B.J. Thomas, who sang ?Raindrops? was born this day in 1942. Are you feeling raindrops on your head because your roof leaks and needs replacing? When you replace it, think about color. Choosing the right color helps keep heating and cooling costs from going through the roof. In warm and sunny climates a light- colored roof reflects the heat of the sun, causing less buildup, and reducing air conditioning costs by as much as 20 percent. Conversely in colder climates, a dark roof gathers heat on sunny days transferring it inside. This helps to reduce heating costs. In the old days, many homeowners used this to their advantage. Today, as energy costs continue to rise, many such aesthetic decisions once again are becoming sensible choices. Planning to install a new roof? Remember simple science; color, provides free heating and cooling, and keeps energy costs from going through the roof. And that's the On The House Tip for today?
