How to Qualify for Utility Rebates with LED Lighting

Upgrading to LED lighting is not just about saving energy—it’s also about saving money. Many
utility companies offer rebate programs to encourage businesses and homeowners to make the
switch to energy-efficient lighting. These rebates can significantly offset the cost of new fixtures
or retrofits.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to qualify for utility rebates with LED lighting, and
introduce products from Central Lighting Service that can help maximize your savings.

Step 1: Understand Utility Rebate Programs

Utility rebate programs are designed to reward energy efficiency. Most programs focus on
encouraging upgrades to LED lighting because of its superior energy savings and long lifespan.
Rebates typically fall into two categories:

1. Prescriptive Rebates: These offer a set amount per fixture or bulb, based on pre-
   approved energy-efficient products.
2. Custom Rebates: These calculate the rebate based on the amount of energy saved by the
   upgrade.

Rebate amounts vary depending on your location and utility provider. To get started, check out
the Utility Rebates Resource page on our website for links to programs in your area.

Step 2: Choose Qualifying LED Lighting Products

To qualify for rebates, you must select lighting products that meet the program’s energy
efficiency requirements. At Central Lighting Service, we offer a wide range of LED lighting

Step 3: Follow the Application Process

Once you’ve selected your qualifying products, follow these steps to apply for your rebate:

1. Contact Your Utility Provider: Check with your local utility company to confirm
   program details and requirements.
2. Submit Pre-Approval Applications: Many programs require pre-approval before
   purchasing or installing fixtures.
3. Purchase and Install LED Lighting: Use your approved products to complete the
   upgrade.

   forms to claim your rebate.
