Top Lighting & Electrical Appliances to Get for Summer 2025

As summer heats up, it’s the perfect time to upgrade your home’s electrical setup for better comfort, energy savings, and style. Whether you're entertaining outdoors, keeping your home cool, or just looking to lower your electric bill, here are the top lighting and electrical appliances to consider for Summer 2025 — recommended by the team at E&A ELECTRIC LLC.

💡 1. Outdoor Smart Lighting

Upgrade your patio or backyard with weatherproof smart lighting that can be controlled via your phone or voice assistant. Perfect for evening gatherings, motion-activated lights and color-changing bulbs can add both safety and ambiance.

Top Picks:

• Smart floodlights with motion sensors
• Color-changing LED string lights
• Solar-powered wall sconces

🌀 2. Attic Fans & Ventilation Upgrades

An efficient attic fan can dramatically lower your home’s temperature and reduce AC costs. If your attic fan is noisy or ineffective, now is the time to repair or upgrade it.

Why it matters:
Keeps your attic cool, prevents moisture buildup, and helps your HVAC system run efficiently.

🔌 3. Smart Plugs & Power Strips

Control your appliances remotely or set schedules to reduce phantom energy use. Smart plugs are especially useful for:

• Outdoor fans
• Coffee machines
• String lights
• Window AC units

❄️ 4. Energy-Efficient Air Conditioners

If your window units are 10+ years old, they’re likely costing you extra on your utility bills. Look for Energy Star-rated ACs with smart features and better cooling performance.

Pro Tip: Consider a dedicated outlet or electrical circuit for large units to avoid overloading.

🔆 5. Under-Cabinet LED Lighting

Brighten up your kitchen with under-cabinet lighting. It’s energy-efficient, improves visibility while cooking, and adds a modern summer glow to your space.

🧠 6. Smart Thermostats

A must-have for modern homes, smart thermostats learn your schedule, adjust for peak times, and help you save on cooling costs — ideal for the summer months.

Popular options:
Ecobee, Nest, and Honeywell Home

☀️ 7. Ceiling Fans with LED Light Kits

Ceiling fans are a great alternative to blasting the AC. Models with energy-efficient LED lights serve dual purposes: airflow + lighting = summer win.

🔋 Bonus: Whole-Home Surge Protection

With more summer storms and power surges, a whole-home surge protector keeps all your devices — from fridges to smart TVs — safe and running.
