Outdoor Lighting Installation in Etobicoke
Before you call anyone about outdoor lights, it helps to know which job you're asking for. Some outdoor lighting needs an electrician. Some just needs a careful install and an outlet you already have.
We install plug-in outdoor lighting on homes in Etobicoke: Govee permanent lights along rooflines, peaks, soffits, garages and corners, connected to an outdoor outlet you already have. We don't do hardwired work like new outlets, wall-mounted lights or wired landscape lighting. In Ontario, that's a job for a licensed electrician.
Below: the parts of a house we light, photos of our installs, the jobs that need an electrician instead, and how an install works.
What we light
Which parts of a house can you light?
Every edge you can see from the street, on one storey or three.
Rooflines and eaves
The long runs across the front and sides. This is where most installs start.
Peaks and gables
Both slopes of every peak. A front gable uses far more length than a flat run, so it's worth measuring.
Soffits
Lights tucked under the overhang instead of potlights cut into it. More on soffit lights.
Garages
Often the longest straight run on the front of the house, and the first thing people see from the driveway.
Vertical corners
Lights can run down a corner of the house as well as along the roofline. The orange install below has one.
Every level
Two-storey and split-level houses have rooflines at more than one height. All of them can be lit as one look.
Not our job
What outdoor lighting needs an electrician instead?
Anything that gets wired into the house. That includes:
- A new or moved outdoor outlet
- Wall lights and porch lights that are wired in
- Potlights cut into the soffit
- Landscape and pathway lighting that runs on a wired circuit
- Anything on a new switch or a new circuit
Ontario's Electrical Safety Authority puts it plainly: "With limited exception, only Licenced Electrical Contractors are authorized to conduct electrical business in Ontario." We stick to plug-in lighting, and we'll tell you when a job needs an electrician first.
