Homeowner buyer's guide

Hiring a permanent outdoor lighting contractor in London

Permanent outdoor lighting runs on the roofline year-round, so the electrical connection and mounting hardware need to hold up to Ontario winters, not just look good on install day. A proper installer wires to Electrical Safety Authority standards and sets up the app control so the system stays easy to use long after they leave.

What to look for

  • ESA-compliant electrical connections, not a simple plug-in extension setup
  • Weather-rated fixtures and channel designed for Ontario winters
  • A clear walkthrough of the app and scene controls before they leave
  • Warranty coverage on both the fixtures and the installation labour
  • Photos or references from installs that have been through a full winter

Questions to ask

  • Is this wired to ESA-compliant standards, and is it inspected?
  • What happens to the fixtures and channel in freeze-thaw conditions?
  • How is the system controlled, and will you walk us through the app?
  • What's covered under warranty, the fixtures, the labour, or both?
  • Can we see a home you lit that's been through at least one winter?

What it tends to cost

Permanent lighting is usually quoted per linear foot of roofline or trim covered, so cost scales with the size and shape of your home and how much soffit, fascia or accent detail you're lighting. More complex control setups, such as multi-zone or whole-home synchronization, typically add to the cost of the equipment and programming. Ask whether the quote includes app setup and a walkthrough, not just the hardware.

Red flags

  • Installation that relies on an outdoor extension cord instead of a proper connection
  • No winter-specific installs to show as examples
  • No walkthrough offered for the app or control system
