We already have one in a bathroom upstairs and love it.  My only hesitation is the additional amount of heat it might generate, as it already gets very hot on the top floor (we do have air conditioning to blast if we need to, but we try not to overuse it).  Does anyone have experience \/ advice around this?  I believe they have shades and tinted skylights.  Would that make a noticeable difference?  The skylight in the bathroom is not tinted or shaded and it can get quite hot in there.<\/p>\n<p>I also prefer not to cut through any of the beams in the roof, so we&#8217;re going to work around that and we&#8217;ll also have an electrician helping to ensure the installers don&#8217;t mess up the wiring.<\/p>\n<p>Are there any other issues around doing this work?  It seems to me that often these days when people do renos (and in new construction), skylights are added.<\/p>\n <span class=\"plp-active-page\"><span class=\"\">%<\/span><\/span> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brownstoner.com\/forum-archive\/2010\/07\/brownstone-skyl\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"\">%<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re considering putting in skylights on the top floor of our brownstone (built in 1851).
