2026 Pricing Guide

A one-time investment in your home

Permanent lighting is priced as a single, up-front cost that covers the hardware, the wiring, and full professional installation — no yearly install-and-remove fees, and no ladders for you. Because every home's rooflines are different, the ranges below are estimates. Your final price is set by a custom quote.

Cost Comparison

Permanent vs. temporary lights

Hiring a crew to hang and remove temporary or seasonal lights typically costs about $200–$600 every year — money you never get back. A permanent system is a one-time cost that breaks even in roughly 2–4 years, then saves you money every year after that. And instead of just the holidays, you get year-round lighting for sports colours, accents, parties, and everyday curb appeal.

Running Cost

What it costs to run

$2 – $5

Approximate monthly electricity cost at Alberta rates
