Prices for permanent holiday lighting in Ottawa typically depend on the length of roofline (linear feet), home design complexity. You can expect to pay around $20 to $40 per linear foot, all in, for a professionally installed system, depending on your home’s architecture. For many homes, the total cost tends to fall between $2,000 and $6,000+ including installation. For a precise estimate, we offer free in-home or virtual quotes.

These lighting systems are built using weatherproof, outdoor-rated LEDs with waterproof housing and durable wiring designed for freeze-thaw cycles, snow, ice, and moisture. Expected lifespan is typically up to 50,000 hours of use, which translates into many years of daily or seasonal lighting without needing replacements.

A small control box is installed, usually in your garage or another dry location, and connected to your home's power and Wi-Fi network. You control the lights via a mobile app where you can change colors, brightness, set schedules, or create custom lighting patterns—all from your phone. The system draws low voltage and uses energy-efficient LED lights to minimize electricity costs.

“Installed once” means the lights and all wiring are mounted permanently under the soffit (or another discreet location), with each light secured so the wiring is protected all year. There’s no need to take down or re-install seasonal lights. After the one-time professional installation, control is taken over by the homeowner through the app.

Our Permanent lighting systems comes with a 3 year warranty. That covers manufacturing defects in LED bulbs, wiring, controller or connection enclosures. Maintenance needs are very low—occasional cleaning and checking connections are usually sufficient. Because everything is sealed and built to withstand weather, you’ll spend far less time, effort, or money compared with string-up seasonal lights.

Install slots fill up quickly in fall and early winter. To guarantee installation before the holidays or by early winter, it’s best to book by late September to mid‐October. After that, availability will be more limited, and pricing may be higher due to increased demand.

Key cost factors include:

• Length of roofline or linear feet to illuminate
  
• Number of corners, gables, peaks or architectural features (more trims or complex rooflines increase labor + materials)

• Height/ease of access and any required safety equipment (lifts, scaffolding)
  
  

No, permanent LED lighting is very energy-efficient. Even bright, color-changing setups draw far less power than traditional strings of holiday lights. For a typical roofline installation, annual operating cost is often in the range of $20-$50 depending on how many hours a day they’re on and what brightness setting you use.

Yes, our systems allow individual section fixes. We build in access points and use modular power/control boxes. Replacements are either handled by us (if under warranty) or, for homeowners comfortable with DIY, very manageable with basic tools and parts.

Yes. We use lights, wiring, and controllers that are rated for outdoor use, waterproof (typically IP65+ or higher), and comply with Canadian safety standards (CSA / UL listings where applicable). Any electrical connections are enclosed in weatherproof junctions, and installation follows local code and inspection guidelines.

In most cases, after you accept the quote, we can schedule installation within 3-4 weeks (weather and availability permitting). A typical install can be completed in 1 day. For fall and holiday season installs, it’s best to secure your spot as early as possible since demand climbs steeply.

Yes. The system is designed for year-round use. Many homeowners set warm white for everyday curb appeal, then switch to seasonal themes (Halloween, Canada Day, game nights, birthdays, etc.) with a single tap in the app.

Yes. Since this is a larger one-time upgrade, we can provide flexible payment options. Many homeowners choose monthly payment plans.

The LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours of use, which translates to 15+ years under normal daily operation.
