Answer

A good rule of thumb for HVAC contractors is usually 600 square feet per ton of cooling. With a 2200 square ft. home you should have no less than a 3.5 ton heat pump with no more than a 10kw heat strip. This is a general figure. The type of windows and how many you have plays a big part in the factor as well. Is the home exposed to full sun or are there trees shading it?

Had roof vents installed along with new roof and is leaking from just below bottom of each vent causeing damage to your ceilings?

Call the contractor and have it fixed. Were they install correctly. Are all the vents leaking or just one? Were they sealed? A properly installed vent shouldn't leak even if it has not been sealed. The bottom edge may be under the shingle instead of on top of it. You should shingle to a point and then put the vent on and shingle on top of the nailing flange from one third to one half of the sides of the vent depending on where it comes on the rows.

Is roof shingles color fade with time?

Shingles are a lot like floors. The patterns change every few years as well as the colors. When a shingle is installed on a roof it will definitely fade with time. It is best to save some shingle packages from the initial installation to replace any shingles for roof patching in the future. The sun and the heat from the surface of the roof bake a shingle. The oils will eventually bake out and the shingle becomes brittle. If you were to break a corner off a shingle and it is pliable it is still doing well. If it breaks easily than you will find little stones in your rain gutters showing its deterioration. This will than break apart in wind storms.
