Serving Whitby

Whitby’s established lakeside neighbourhoods and growing subdivisions in Brooklin both rely on us for dependable electrical work. Whether it’s a panel upgrade for a character home near the harbour or an EV charger install in a newer Brooklin subdivision, our licensed electricians bring the same code-compliant standard to every job in Whitby.

In Port Whitby and around the downtown core, older homes often need panel upgrades and electrical troubleshooting as part of renovations. In Brooklin and Williamsburg’s newer subdivisions, requests lean toward EV charger installations and smart lighting upgrades. Rolling Acres and the surrounding commercial areas also keep us busy with retail and office lighting retrofits and scheduled maintenance for property managers.

We regularly work in:Brooklin,Port Whitby,Williamsburg,Downtown Whitby,Rolling Acres, and the rest of Whitby.

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.

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. 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. 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. 3

    Installation

    We install weatherproof fixtures and bury or route wiring cleanly, sized and rated correctly for outdoor, in-ground use.

  4. 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.
