LED lighting is significantly more energy-efficient than traditional lighting options. On average, LED bulbs use about 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 25 times longer. This translates to substantial energy savings over time. For example, replacing just 5 frequently used bulbs with LEDs can save you up to $75 per year on your electricity bill. Additionally, LEDs emit less heat, potentially reducing your cooling costs as well.

Yes, we do! We offer a range of smart lighting options that can be integrated with your LED and recessed lighting installation. These systems allow you to control your lights via smartphone apps or voice commands, set schedules, and even change colors in some cases. Smart lighting can further enhance your energy savings and provide added convenience and security. We can discuss the best smart lighting solutions for your specific needs during our consultation.

LED and recessed lighting systems are remarkably low-maintenance. LEDs have an exceptionally long lifespan, often lasting 10-20 years with normal use. This means you’ll rarely need to replace bulbs. For recessed lighting, occasional dusting of the fixtures and checking for any signs of moisture (especially in bathrooms) is recommended. If you notice any issues, our team at Southern Electrical is always available for maintenance and repairs. We recommend a professional inspection every few years to ensure your lighting system continues to operate at peak efficiency.
