The True Cost of an LED Sign: What You Need to Know
When considering an outdoor LED sign for your business, school, church, or municipality, one of the first questions is: How much does an LED sign cost? The answer depends on several factors, including size, resolution, and additional services like installation and maintenance. At Guthman Signs, we aim to provide transparency about these costs to help you make an informed decision.
Breaking Down LED Sign Costs
- Sign Size and Resolution:
The cost of an LED sign varies widely depending on its physical dimensions and pixel pitch (resolution). Smaller signs with lower resolution are more affordable, while larger, high-definition signs with superior clarity can range from $20,000 to $50,000 or more.
At Guthman Signs, we offer customizable modular LED panels (1’x2’) that allow for unique shapes like circles or ovals, giving you flexibility in design and pricing.
- Installation Costs:
Beyond the sign itself, installation can significantly impact your total cost. This includes mounting, structural support, and ensuring proper electrical connections. Our team provides turn-key installation services to ensure your sign is operational without hassle.
- Electrical and Communication Requirements:
LED signs require reliable electrical and communication connections to function properly. These costs can vary depending on your location and existing infrastructure. We include a consultation to assess these factors during your project planning.
- Maintenance and Warranties:
Longevity is a critical consideration. At Guthman Signs, all our LED displays come with a 5-year warranty, minimizing maintenance costs and ensuring peace of mind. We use high-quality materials to deliver products built to last.
