How Often Should Skylights Be Replaced?
Firstly, if your skylight is older than 20 years, you should consider replacing it. Even if the skylight doesn’t appear to be damaged it’s probably less energy efficient than a newer model. A replacement skylight will help cut energy cost. They provide UV protection that can keep your home cooler.
If your skylight is cracked, but not leaking when it rains, you should replace it as soon as possible. In the hot sun acrylic domes will often crack from heat exposure over time. This contributes to higher energy bills due to the airflow drafts the crack may create. The same is true for cracked glass skylights.
You may also consider replacing your skylight if the rubber gaskets are beginning to crack and dry out from sun exposure. This is a leak waiting to happen and it can potentially lead to water damage.
