Velux solar and electric skylights offer effortless ventilation and daylight with smart automation. Heritage Plumbing Group installs these advanced systems with care, ensuring full compliance with Victorian Building Authority (VBA) roof plumbing standards.
A Velux solar or electric skylight is designed for maximum convenience, allowing you to open and close your skylight with the touch of a button—or let the smart sensors handle it for you. These high-performance skylights are perfect for hard-to-reach areas like stairwells or vaulted ceilings, bringing in natural light and fresh air without manual effort. Powered by solar energy or hardwired electricity, they come with rain sensors that automatically close the window when wet weather hits—a must-have in unpredictable Melbourne conditions. All installations are performed by VBA-licensed roof plumbers to ensure compliance and long-term performance.
Velux solar and electric skylights are ideal for homeowners seeking both luxury and practicality. These skylights can be programmed to open and close at specific times or respond to heat and humidity levels, helping you maintain indoor air quality and reduce energy usage. The solar models are self-powered with a built-in battery, while electric options connect to mains power for consistent performance. Whether you’re retrofitting or building new, our team will assess your roofing structure and recommend the right solution to complement your home’s layout and aesthetic.
Installing solar or electric skylights demands precision and experience. Our licensed team ensures that your skylight is positioned for optimal sun exposure and airflow while being sealed and flashed to prevent leaks. For solar-powered models, we ensure the panel placement captures enough sunlight for battery recharging. For electric units, we coordinate with your electrician to connect the unit safely. Melbourne weather can be harsh—so we prioritise storm-proof flashing, secure fitment, and insulation to keep your home comfortable year-round.
Automated skylights offer more than just comfort—they’re a smart way to enhance your home’s efficiency. Solar and electric Velux skylights reduce your reliance on air conditioning by encouraging natural cross-ventilation. They help eliminate excess heat, condensation and cooking odours in kitchens, bathrooms and upstairs rooms. Solar-powered models require no ongoing energy costs, while electric skylights offer seamless control via remote or home automation systems. These skylights also increase property value and add a modern architectural edge.
