HOME & BUSINESS ELECTRIC

Switching to LED lighting is one of the smartest investments a Waukesha homeowner or business owner can make. Modern LED technology delivers superior light quality, dramatically lower energy consumption, and a lifespan that can exceed 25 years. Home and Business Electric provides comprehensive LED lighting upgrade services for residential and commercial properties throughout Waukesha County — from simple bulb replacements to full commercial fixture retrofits.

The Real Cost Savings of LED Lighting

​

The numbers speak for themselves. A single 60-watt incandescent bulb costs approximately $7.23 per year to run (at Wisconsin's average electricity rate). The equivalent 9-watt LED bulb costs just $1.08 per year — an 85% reduction. For a home with 30 light fixtures, that could translate to over $180 in annual savings from lighting alone.

Our LED Upgrade Services

​

• Residential LED Conversion: We replace all your existing incandescent and CFL fixtures and bulbs with high-quality LED equivalents, ensuring the correct color temperature and brightness for each room.

• Commercial LED Retrofit: We retrofit existing commercial fluorescent fixtures with LED tubes and drivers, dramatically reducing your business's energy costs without replacing the entire fixture.

• Dimmer Compatibility: Not all LED bulbs are compatible with existing dimmer switches. We verify compatibility and upgrade dimmer switches as needed to eliminate flickering and buzzing.

• Smart Lighting Integration: We can integrate your new LED fixtures with smart home systems like Google Home or Amazon Alexa, allowing you to control your lighting with your voice or smartphone.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

​

Q: Will my existing dimmer switches work with new LED bulbs?

A: Not always. Many older dimmer switches were designed for incandescent bulbs and are not compatible with LED technology. We test your existing dimmers and replace any that cause flickering or buzzing with LED-compatible models.

 

Q: What is the best color temperature for home lighting?

A: It depends on the room. We recommend 2700K (warm white) for bedrooms and living rooms for a cozy feel, 3000K (soft white) for kitchens and bathrooms, and 4000K (cool white) for garages and workshops.

 

Q: How much does a whole-home LED upgrade cost?

A: Costs vary based on the number of fixtures and the type of upgrade needed. We provide free, itemized estimates before any work begins.
