ENERGY STAR® cool or reflective roof products reflect more of the sun’s rays, lowering a roof surface temperature by up to 100 degrees and reducing the amount of heat transferred into a home. Your heating and cooling system is the largest consumer of energy in your home. This reduction can decrease the amount of air conditioning needed to maintain a comfortable climate in your home and provide valuable savings on your energy bill, especially during the hot summer months. 

CPS Energy is offering a rebate of $0.20 per square foot of roof area on an ENERGY STAR "Cool Roof."
