Does heat come through a Suntrenz sun tube tubular skylight?
Minimal heat will enter through the Suntrenz sun tube, as the unit is double glazed at ceiling level. It also has the dome at roof level, reducing heat transmittance, and none of the tubing components hold heat. Therefore, there will be no additional heat load on the building. In fact, compared to electrical lighting, or traditional skylights, the temperatures are significantly lower.

No. The Suntrenz sun tube is watertight and guaranteed against leaking. Your installer or dealer will guarantee the installation against any leaking.
