Save energy and billing costs!

With the rising inflation, we are constantly on the hunt for ways to conserve energy and simultaneously reduce the cost of hefty bills that come with it. You must have tried everything in your power to follow sustainable living, but the truth is that even that is not always affordable. However, with Domer’s tubular skylights, you will be saving energy and cost electricity both! By allowing maximum light to enter through the sun tunnel skylights, you ensure that your home or commercial space is always facilitated with light, so you end up using way less electricity than you did before. This has a direct impact on the money you spend on your energy bills which will also be significantly less if you choose tubular skylights.

Environment-friendly

One of the best things about investing in a tubular skylight is the fact that it is completely environmentally friendly. Why may you ask? Well, the answer is simple! Since sun tunnel skylights heavily rely on sunlight as the major source of light to the house as they are majorly installed on the rooftops, this offers a clean, renewable source of light instead of artificial lighting that increases your carbon footprints. They also prevent the heat from coming inside in summers keeping the space relatively colder than the outside temperature, which means you also save on using air conditioning for the most part. Similarly, heat is trapped inside in the winters, saving you on heating units and consequently being environmentally friendly.

A viable Alternative

While traditional skylights require a relatively large surface area to be installed and do their job of bringing in natural light, your house roof might not have that kind of space where these skylights can be installed. In that case, you need a solution that not only does the job of traditional skylights but does it much more effectively using way less space. And this is where tubular or sun tunnel skylights come in. they are not only compact and much smaller in size but also do the job just well enough. So it doesn’t matter what room you want to install that in; you can very conveniently do that in any roof pitch, making it a much more viable alternative to traditional skylights. On the other hand, they are also very easy to install since they do not require much craftsmanship or expertise. This is because the process is daily simple and requires minimal cutting of the roof to install the diffuser, the dome, and the pipe which is connecting it all together.
