Call (416) 828-6976Serving Newmarket
Newmarket’s mix of established neighbourhoods and newer subdivisions around the Yonge Street corridor keeps our electricians busy with everything from panel upgrades in older homes to EV charger and smart lighting installs in newer builds. We bring the same licensed, ESA-inspected standard of work to every home and business we serve in Newmarket.
In older pockets like Gorham-College Manor and around the historic downtown core, panel upgrades and rewiring are common as homeowners renovate or prepare for a home sale. In newer communities like Stonehaven-Wyndham and Summerhill Estates, requests lean toward EV charger installations and smart lighting upgrades. Along the Yonge Street commercial corridor, we also handle retail and office electrical maintenance for local businesses.
We regularly work in:Stonehaven-Wyndham,Bristol-London,Gorham-College Manor,Summerhill Estates,Glenway Estates, and the rest of Newmarket.

Overview
We provide backyard & garden lighting for homes and businesses throughout Newmarket, including Stonehaven-Wyndham, Bristol-London, Gorham-College Manor, Summerhill Estates, and the rest of Newmarket.
Extend your living space into the evening with professionally designed and installed outdoor lighting. We plan and wire low-voltage and line-voltage landscape lighting for backyards, gardens, patios and walkways, including path lights, uplighting for trees and architectural features, deck and step lighting, and string lighting for entertaining areas. Every installation uses weatherproof, code-compliant fixtures and wiring sized correctly for your property, with transformers and controls placed for easy access and reliable performance. Electrovoltage designs and installs backyard and garden lighting for homes across Toronto and the GTA, and pairs well with our potlight, panel upgrade and electrical troubleshooting services.

Why It Matters
Outdoor lighting does two jobs that are easy to overlook until you don’t have them: it makes steps, paths, and pool or hot tub areas safe to use after dark, and it’s what actually makes a backyard usable in the evening rather than just visible from a lit kitchen window. The design choice that matters most is low-voltage versus line-voltage. Low-voltage systems run through a transformer that steps household power down to 12V, which is safer to install across a garden bed and cheaper to run for path and accent lighting. Line-voltage is usually reserved for fixed structural lighting or where a low-voltage run isn’t practical. Getting that choice wrong, including the transformer sizing and placement, is the most common reason DIY outdoor lighting ends up flickering, tripping a GFCI, or failing within a season.
How Backyard & Garden Lighting Works
- 1
Property walkthrough & design
We walk the yard with you, identify what to highlight (paths, steps, trees, architectural features) and plan a fixture layout.
- 2
Transformer & circuit planning
We size the transformer, plan low-voltage versus line-voltage runs, and confirm your existing outdoor circuit has the capacity, or plan a dedicated one.
- 3
Installation
We install weatherproof fixtures and bury or route wiring cleanly, sized and rated correctly for outdoor, in-ground use.
- 4
Timer/smart control setup & walkthrough
We set up timers or app-based controls where wanted and walk you through operating and maintaining the system.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on fixture count, whether the layout is low-voltage or line-voltage, how much trenching or wiring complexity the property requires, and whether your existing outdoor circuit has capacity or a dedicated circuit needs to be run first.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you install low-voltage landscape lighting?
- Yes, we design and install both low-voltage and line-voltage outdoor lighting systems, including transformers, path lights, and uplighting, sized correctly for your property.
- Can outdoor lighting be added to an existing circuit?
- It depends on your existing outdoor circuit capacity. We assess your panel and exterior wiring as part of every garden lighting quote and recommend a dedicated circuit or panel upgrade if needed.
- How much does backyard and garden lighting cost?
- Cost depends on the number of fixtures, whether you need low-voltage or line-voltage wiring, and the complexity of the layout. We provide a fixed quote after a walkthrough of your property.
- Do I need a transformer for landscape lighting?
- Low-voltage landscape lighting requires a transformer to step down power safely for outdoor fixtures. We size and place the transformer for easy access and reliable performance as part of every installation.
- Can you add lighting to an existing deck or patio?
- Yes, we regularly retrofit lighting into existing decks, patios, and walkways, running new wiring or tapping into existing circuits where capacity allows.
