What moves the price
- Retrofit lamps or new fittings — swapping bulbs for LED lamps costs far less than replacing the whole light fitting.
- Number of fixtures — each extra LED fitting adds parts and wiring time, so a whole house costs more than a single room.
- Whether any additional electrical work is needed — older circuits or switches that do not suit LEDs may need changing first.
- Dimmable or smart controls — LED-compatible dimmers or a smart lighting system add parts and setting-up time.
Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling prices in Ireland are up 23% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling, to 2025 December).

How to pay less
- Keeping your existing fittings and fitting LED retrofit lamps costs far less than replacing every fixture.
- Changing the LED lighting in every room in one visit costs less than doing a room at a time.
- Buying the LED fittings yourself, after checking with the electrician that they suit your circuits, can save on parts.
- Fitting smart LED bulbs in existing fittings can give app control without paying for a new smart lighting system.
- LED lighting uses less electricity than older bulbs, so the lower running cost helps pay back the installation.
Before you book

- Information on your lighting preferences, including styles and brightness levels.
- A clear understanding of any existing wiring or fixtures that may need modification.
- Any specific design ideas or requirements you have for the lighting layout.
