It's not the shingles that wear out. It's the underlayment that is damaged by excessive heat. Even tile roofs in Florida wear out faster than they should because the underlayment layer is exposed to excessive heat from underneath. Ventilation is the key. You can add roof fans or ridge vents, not both because they work against each other.
