Crunching the Numbers: How a Skylight Can SAVE You Big

Written by VELUX Skylights | Aug 30, 2024 5:00:00 PM

One of the most common misconceptions regarding skylights is that they're expensive to install and maintain. But did you know that the savings associated with having one can outweigh the cost of the installation and even the skylight itself?

Skylights can help you become more energy efficient while also saving you money.

 

Don't Forget About Utility Savings!

Energy efficiency is growing in importance for homeowners and builders alike. And when it comes to greener living, VELUX has been ahead of the curve. More than 90% of our products are ENERGY STAR qualified in all US climate zones so you can be sure heating and cooling your home will be much more efficient.

 

Venting skylights contribute to greater thermal comfort and ventilation within your home. And when you complete your skylight with light controls, like blinds, it helps remove excess heat, moisture, odors, and other indoor pollutants. Having the whole package can really help reduce how often you need to turn on the A/C or heat and save you tons in utility costs.

 

Or About VELUX's Warranty!

For more than 75 years, VELUX has been dedicated to producing high quality skylights you can rely on. That's why our commitment to you doesn't end once your skylight is installed. Each of our deck-mounted skylights comes with an industry first 10-year "No Leak" installation warranty, no matter who installs the skylight. And if you opt for our Clean, Quiet & Safe glass, we offer a 10-year warranty that ensures your skylight won't crack or break because of hail.
