Lighting

Cut costs with energy-efficient lighting

choose LEDLighting is an essential part of your home. And because you’re likely using some form of lighting throughout most of the day and evening, switching to energy-efficient bulbs can make a big difference when it comes to your energy bills.

Choose LED bulbs

Light-emitting diode bulbs (LEDs) use 75% less energy and last about 20 times longer than incandescent bulbs. While they cost more up-front, you’ll see energy savings over the long term. 

Disposal of CFLs

Compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) contain very small amounts of mercury that are harmful to the environment. Learn what to do if a CFL bulb breaks, and how to safely dispose of or recycle them.

Security lighting

Aside from offering comfort, lighting also offers security, especially outside your home. Add security lighting to your home for as little as $6 a month with our security lighting program. We'll:

  • Provide cost-effective bulb options for you to choose from.
  • Install and provide energy to the light.
  • Maintain the light (if the bulb goes out, we'll repair or replace it).

To enroll in our security lighting program, contact our Customer Service Center or call 800-257-4044 during business hours.
