Our roof was recently destroyed in a hail storm. It was suggested that we replace the 2 turbine vents with ridge vents for increased energy efficiency. We live in south Texas and from June through mid-September the afternoon temperatures are in the upper 90's and often over 100 in July and August.

Would we see a reduced cost for cooling if we use the ridge vents instead of turbines?

Are there any problems with ridge vents that we need to be aware of?
