CPS Energy News

Roofs made of light-colored or reflective material absorb much less solar energy. That means your AC doesn't have to work as hard.

Hot summer temperatures are just around the corner, and nothing collects heat like the roof over your head. When it's 90 degrees outside, a dark roof will reach temperatures as high as 150 degrees. That means your AC has to work a lot harder to keep your house cool. That burns energy and costs you money. That's why CPS Energy will pay you a rebate as an incentive to install a cool roof. What makes a roof cool? Style and looks have nothing to do with it.

will pay you to ditch your gasoline-powered lawn mower and go electric CPS will rebate a small portion of your cost if you install a cool roof that meets certain energy-saving standards. Who's eligible? If you're a CPS customer and your home has a working central air system or window units, you're eligible. Also, your roof has to have a lot of sun exposure, and it can't already have a radiant barrier in the attic to keep heat absorption down.
