Health

Energy Savings
By letting natural sunlight into your home, you are taking advantage of a free and sustainable natural resource. Overall, skylights can help homeowners seriously cut down on their energy bill by requiring less electricity. Furthermore, in cooler months, the additional sunlight can also help you reduce the need to keep the heat on at all times. Skylights are particularly appealing for those who have made it their life mission to be environmentally-friendly.
Ventilation
In addition to a number of lighting-related benefits, skylights can also be utilized to improve the ventilation in your home. In warmer months, homeowners can open their skylights to let the warm air flow out, which reduces the need to use an air conditioner.

Another benefit of skylights is privacy. By installing skylights in the master bedroom or top floor of the home, residents can enjoy natural lighting and air flow without worrying about their neighbors spying on them.
