Why LED Lighting Is the Best Upgrade for Your Home
Upgrading your home’s lighting is a smart investment that improves energy efficiency, aesthetics, and safety. At American Electric Company, we provide professional LED lighting installation services for homes and businesses in Lake County, McHenry County, the North Shore, and Southern Wisconsin. If you're considering a lighting upgrade, here’s why LED lighting is the best choice.
1. LED Lighting Lowers Energy Costs
Traditional incandescent bulbs waste a lot of energy as heat, while LED bulbs use up to 75% less electricity and last 25 times longer. This means lower energy bills and fewer bulb replacements.
✔️ Energy-efficient lighting reduces electricity costs
✔️ Better performance than incandescent and CFL bulbs
✔️ Eco-friendly choice that lowers carbon footprint
2. Long-Lasting & Low-Maintenance
LED bulbs have an impressive lifespan of 25,000 to 50,000 hours, meaning you’ll spend less time and money on replacements. This is especially beneficial for hard-to-reach fixtures and commercial properties.
✔️ Lasts years longer than traditional bulbs
✔️ Reduces maintenance costs

✔️ Dimmable & customizable lighting options
✔️ Smart LED bulbs sync with home automation systems
✔️ No flickering, instant-on performance

Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs emit very little heat, reducing the risk of burns and electrical fires. They are safer for homes, offices, and outdoor applications.
✔️ Cool to the touch—safe for kids & pets
