Saint George Roof Frost

As temperatures continue to dip lower and lower this fall and winter in Saint George, inspection of the frost on your roof can show you whether your home is losing heat. As we look outside in the early morning hours, we see the roofs on the homes around us lightly blanketed with a thin layer of frost. Occasionally we notice one home seems “fortunate” to have escaped the frosted roof. “Unfortunately” these homes that are lacking in frost on their roofs are actually showing signs of heat loss. Roofs that appear to either have areas of no frost or completely thawed roofs are showing the one major sign that there might not be adequate insulation in their attics or too much heat entering the attic from the interior of your home. Heat melts ice and frost. If the roof is abnormally warm from interior heat escaping then the frost will be unable to form or be melted quickly. Heat loss through a roof can add up to extensive increases in electric and gas bills. Increasing the insulation in your attic and checking and repairing all attic seals can protect your home from heat loss this winter.
