Need a new roof!?

admin — Sun, 16 May 2010 04:30:59 +0000

My parents are looking to have their roof re-done. I recently got an estimate. The guy told me that he can tile over the old tiles for $4,000 but if I wanted him to rip everything out it’ll cost me $10,000. Is it safe to retile over old tiles? Has anyone ever done this before? Also what are your thoughts on putting solar panels on the roof, can this be expensive? My last question is, what’s the best time of tile out there, with the longest warranty?

Tiling over the old tiles will put a lot of weight load on a roof. ..very bad idea.

Photo-voltaic (direct conversion of sun light to electricity) solar panels can add up to a lot of cost, but if one is in a place where there a lot of sunny days, it may be worth it. Also, if you live in an area prone to heavy hail storms, insurance and replacement cost for panels would have to be taken inti account.

Any luck with solar powered attic fans?

admin — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 13:30:30 +0000

I want to buy one for my house and some have given the solar powered ones a thumb down, but that’s all I really want.

Anyone have one and how have they worked, worth the price? Have you had a tile roof? I asked this elsewhere and someone told me that it was stupid that I have ceiling fans in all my upstairs rooms because the don’t help at all. I was aghast.
Attic fan. I was trying to justfy asking the question again by showing that one of the two reponses I got told me I was dumb for having ceiling fans, I want to add an attic fan to help using the air as little as possible.

I had one installed and it works well. When it gets above a certain temp it kicks on and with that and the programmable thermastat my AC bill was less this year.

Solar Roof Tiles – Solar Power Without the Solar Look

http://www.SolarEnergyGuide.net – Solar Roof Tiles – Solar Power Without the Solar Look
If you’re like a lot of people these days who are considering the installation of solar power in their homes, you may not know the difference between solar roof tiles and a solar panels. And the distinction is important because the one thing that prevents many folks from enjoying the benefits of solar power is that they are afraid of ruining the appearance of their home.

So what is the difference between a home equipped with solar panels vs. one with solar roof tiles? It is not hard to notice. Solar panels are those large, cumbersome units that often are perched atop the roof of a house, making it look to some people like something out of a science fiction movie.

To install the panels properly, it is often necessary for additional roof framing or roof penetration. And if yours is the first house on the block to install solar panels, you might have to endure lots of funny looks and derogatory comments from the neighbors.

On the other hand, solar roof tiles are much less obtrusive than solar panels. As the name implies, solar roof tiles are incorporated into your existing roof, whether it consists of asphalt shingles or most other common types. One shingle weighs about 2.5 pounds per square foot, so they are generally easy to work with when it comes to installation.

They tend to be a dark bluish-gray in color, so they blend in easily with most existing roof types. And the best thing is that they provide for a seamless look, so the untrained eye will not be able to tell the difference.

But perhaps the best thing about solar roof tiles is how they help you save on your energy bill. One tile puts out about 50 to 200 watts of energy, which is about as much as a small window fan. While this may not sound like much, if you incorporate the tiles into your entire roof, you should be able to supply enough energy for your entire house.

And if you are fortunate enough to live in a sunny state such as California, Florida, or Arizona, you may even produce more energy than you need. You can then sell this excess energy back to the local power company, further reducing your energy costs.

So not only do solar tiles look great, they’ll help you do what’s really important: save money. To find out more about solar tiles visit solar roof shingles.
