ComEd lighting rebates & LED discounts — designed and installed by abvolt.
If you're in ComEd territory, qualified LED bulbs, fixtures, and lighting upgrades can come with instant discounts and rebates through ComEd's energy efficiency programs. abvolt designs and installs the lighting — and makes sure your project captures every incentive it qualifies for.
What lighting does ComEd cover?
ComEd's energy efficiency programs offer instant discounts on a wide range of qualified LED products — screw-in and pin-base bulbs, LED fixtures, and high-efficiency lamp and equipment upgrades. For commercial and multi-unit properties, the Business Instant Lighting Discounts (BILD) program applies discounts on qualified products up front, and custom incentives can cover larger efficiency projects that fall outside the standard programs.
Program details and amounts change by year, and product eligibility matters — which is why we verify what your project qualifies for before any work starts.
New in 2026: the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA)
On January 8, 2026, Governor Pritzker signed the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA, SB 25) — legislation the Illinois Power Agency projects will save Illinois energy customers $13.4 billion over the next two decades. It takes effect June 1, 2026, and it matters directly for lighting upgrades:
- ·Expanded energy efficiency programs. CRGA requires utilities like ComEd to expand efficiency programs that help households and businesses lower their energy use — the same programs that fund LED and lighting-upgrade incentives.
- ·Time-of-use pricing. Utilities must offer residential time-of-use rates. Efficient, automated lighting that dims and schedules itself pays off even faster when off-peak power costs less.
- ·Minimum efficiency spending. Utilities administering State efficiency programs must meet minimum spending levels — meaning sustained incentive funding rather than programs that quietly run out.
The practical takeaway for North Shore homeowners and businesses: efficiency incentives are expanding, not shrinking. If you've been putting off an LED conversion or a lighting redesign, 2026 is the year the math tips in your favor — and abvolt will make sure your project captures what the new programs offer.
Why upgrade to LED now?
-
60–80% lower lighting energy use
LED conversion typically cuts lighting electricity costs by well over half compared to incandescent and halogen.
-
Rebates shrink the upfront cost
ComEd incentives apply directly to qualified products and upgrades, so the payback period gets shorter before you flip a single switch.
-
Better light, not just cheaper light
We design layered, dimmable lighting — recessed, fixture, landscape — so the upgrade improves how your home looks and feels, not just the utility bill.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a ComEd lighting rebate?
Many LED discounts are applied instantly through participating channels; larger upgrades go through rebate or custom incentive applications. Call us at (224) 369-8752 and we'll confirm the right path for your project.
Do rebates apply to whole-home LED conversions?
Often yes — converting older incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent lighting to qualified LED can be eligible, and the energy savings compound on top of the incentive.
How does the new CRGA law affect lighting rebates?
The Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (effective June 1, 2026) requires ComEd to expand its energy efficiency programs and offer time-of-use pricing — which means more incentive funding for LED conversions and a bigger payoff for efficient, automated lighting.
What about smart lighting and dimmers?
We pair LED upgrades with scene control and automation so lights dim, schedule, and respond automatically — saving more energy on top of the LED conversion itself.
Do you handle commercial and multi-unit buildings?
Yes. ComEd's business programs (including BILD instant discounts and custom incentives) apply to offices, retail, and multi-unit properties — we install and help with the applications.
