[quote=Anonymous]We have 3 skylights on our porch which is long and narrow (12x22) and spans the width of our great room. I would absolutely do it again - we had the framing of the porch up for a few weeks before they installed the skylights and the interior was noticeably more bright when they were added. I don't think the skylights really contribute to heat on the porch, in 90+ degree weather your porch will be toasty whether you have skylights or not. We also have 2 ceiling fans, which is a necessity although in the heat of summer they don't really help that much. I would second the PP's note about having access to clean the skylights - I don't clean them often, but it's great to be able to do it easily if there's bird poop or other debris. We added two other skylights to the interior of the house as part of a renovation and I will literally never be able to reach those! There are services that will clean them but luckily weather has taken care of it so far.[/quote]
