Energy efficiency isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a business advantage. Whether you’re working on a commercial remodel or updating older facilities, lighting retrofits can deliver measurable energy savings while improving performance and aesthetics.
At All County Electric Supply, we help contractors and electricians source high-efficiency lighting and controls from trusted manufacturers like Eaton, Lutron, and Hubbell. Here’s how lighting retrofits can quickly pay for themselves — and why now’s the time to make the switch.
1. Lower Energy Bills, Fast ROI
The Benefit:
Upgrading outdated fluorescent or HID fixtures to LEDs can reduce energy use by up to 70%.
The Why:
LED technology offers longer life spans, less maintenance, and higher light output per watt. Most retrofit projects achieve payback within 1–3 years through reduced utility and maintenance costs.
2. Smarter Controls, Greater Savings
The Benefit:
Adding smart sensors and dimming systems can cut energy consumption another 20–30%.
The Why:
Controls such as Lutron Caséta or daylight sensors ensure lights run only when needed — automatically adjusting to occupancy and available natural light.
3. Rebates and Incentives Help Cover Costs
The Benefit:
Utility rebate programs and tax incentives can significantly offset retrofit expenses.
The Why:
Our team can help you identify available Wisconsin energy rebates and ensure your fixture selection qualifies for maximum return.
4. Improved Lighting Quality & Safety
The Benefit:
Modern LED fixtures offer better color rendering, reduced glare, and instant-on performance.
The Why:
Better visibility increases productivity, comfort, and workplace safety — all while enhancing the space’s appearance.
5. Sustainability That Sells
The Benefit:
Eco-friendly upgrades resonate with both commercial clients and building owners.
The Why:
Reducing energy use and maintenance costs supports sustainability goals — and strengthens your reputation as a forward-thinking contractor.
