Can you enlighten me on the LetsEncrypt?
Our certs are expiring soon so we need a new one. That's all. We currently have both EV and Wildcard cert.

EV is a marketing scam. No one I know cares about the green bar. Though, that said, no one I know pays attention to the padlock either. Users just know if the page loads or not.
Wildcard certs are useful only to those with a lot (and I mean a lot) of subdomain names setup. Or the lazy, take your pick.

Thanks! If that works then that would save us some $$$.

Well prior to this new automated SSL stuff, it could potentially be cheaper to buy a single wildcard cert than it would be to pay a person's time to buy individual certs.
With automated SSL now available, the days of things like that are numbered.

Months. This is your first "renewal" where this would have applied. So you've not missed anything in the past. but the time to change processes is now

About 6 months after I got my lazy wildcard cert, dang it all.
