Why Rebate-Funded LEDs
Upgrade Your Lighting at No Cost
Michigan utilities are investing millions to help businesses reduce energy consumption. Here's what that means for you.
$0 Out-of-Pocket Is Common
Utility rebates frequently cover the full cost of materials and labor. Many Michigan businesses pay nothing at all for their LED upgrade.

LED retrofits dramatically reduce your lighting energy consumption from day one. The average customer saves 58% on their electric lighting bill.
Superior Light Quality
Modern LEDs deliver brighter, more uniform illumination with better color rendering — improving safety, productivity, and customer experience.

Every install is performed by Michigan-licensed electricians. We carry full liability and workers' comp coverage on every project.

Many Michigan facilities qualify for utility rebates that can cover most or all of the upgrade cost — on top of these ongoing savings.
Estimates only. Actual savings depend on your facility layout, controls, occupancy, and utility rates. A free on-site audit gives you fixture-level numbers.
How It Works
From Audit to Savings in Weeks
Free Energy Audit
We visit your facility, audit every fixture, measure energy usage, and identify which rebate programs apply to your utility territory.
Proposal & Rebate Filing
You receive a clear breakdown of costs, projected savings, and rebate coverage. We pre-file all paperwork with your utility company.
Professional Installation
Licensed electricians retrofit your existing fixtures with DLC-qualified LED products. Minimal disruption — most projects complete in 1–2 days.
Rebate Collection
We handle the post-install verification, submit final documentation, and wait for the rebate check ourselves. You pay only the net difference — if any.
