Do solar tube lights work in the winter?

• <div><p>Yes, solar tubes work during the winter as long as it’s light outside and they aren’t covered by snow. Sun tunnels are made to work year-round to bring in natural light, and some people find them even more beneficial during the winter. With less daylight outside, it can be even more important to bring brightness into homes to reduce electricity costs.</p></div>

What are the risks of installing a skylight on your own without professional help?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to roof modifications required. Professional installation ensures proper sealing and structural safety.</p></div>

What other types of lighting can I use in my home?

• <div><p>There are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-lighting-your-home.htm">four main types of lighting</a> used in homes: ambient, task, accent, and decorative. Within these categories, there are a number of fixtures to choose from including ceiling-mounted lights, floor lamps, under-cabinet lights, track lighting, and more. </p><p>Choosing the fixture that’s right for you depends on your home design and the area you’re looking to illuminate.</p></div>

How many years does a skylight last?

• <div><p>Skylights last an average of 15 years before requiring repairs and upgrades. If you're experiencing multiple issues with an older skylight, it may be time for a replacement. In most cases, however, professionals will be able to repair or replace individual parts of your skylight for less, such as the glass or the flashing.</p></div>

Can you replace skylights without replacing the roof?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace a skylight without changing the entire roof—if the roof is in good shape. First, you need to make sure the roof around the skylight is intact and free of damage. Quality installation is crucial to prevent leaks, including replacing the flashing, which seals the skylight to the roof. While replacing the skylight alone is doable, it can make sense to replace both at once to streamline the work, coordinate the warranties, and reduce the risk of future leaks. If you’re unsure, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-call-to-repair-skylight.htm">reach out to a professional</a> for help in deciding the best approach. </p></div>
