"Checked my outdoor lighting and replacing a few bulbs. The deal just included the inspection, so there were extra charges for the bulbs, but I was informed of this ahead of time. They were a bit late, but other than that it went great! (They were not late by much!)"

"Jared was responsive, knowledgeable and had great ideas about how to light our our outdoor spaces. He was thorough, and took great care to not mess up our irrigation while installing the electrical in the same places. From pathway lights (on timers and available to be controlled remotely by our phones, which is so helpful!) to illuminating our glorious oak tree in the evening, all the elements have re-invigorated our garden. We spend so much more time out there now."

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"Chris was great! He installed an outdoor fan for us which did not come with a remote, but he immediately had a solution to place the switch plate and had the water proof parts in his truck. He also troubleshooted some minor issues for us and gave us some great ideas for landscape lighting and timed outdoor lighting. I will be hiring him again soon!"

"I had a plan developed by landscape architect that did not completely enhance my large yard. Mario was able to modify plan to create a balanced lighting plan. My yard now looks like a million bucks at night."

"For a living I buy real estate...I'm a lanlord and I deal with many different types of contractors. Some are professional and others you wish you never met. Bill and his crew are very professional and curtious. They protect everything so that nothing is damaged and they are very fast which is nice.....some contractors take all day to do what he did in about 2 hours. Bill went above and beyond the job...he convinced me to get rid of an old can light and hang a chandelier over a round japanese soaking tub. The second he recommended it I realized it was a great idea. He installed the chandelier box for me for free. His rates are very fair."

"Marc and his team were wonderful to work with!! Communication was excellent! They had the project done when they said they would. The care they took with all the details was amazing! I had a "paver" deck put in, it turned out better than I ever thought possible given the bad root condition of my yard. Every block is perfectly placed! I just told Marc that I wanted him to "make my yard pretty and low maintenance". He and his team delivered well beyond my expectations!! I have the most beautiful back yard in Folsom as far as I am concerned!! I would definitely recommend Marc and his Cascade Garden team for all of your landscape and backyard needs!! Thank you Marc and team for everything!!"

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Auburn, CA

Permit requirements for outdoor lighting vary depending on your location and project scope. Simple fixture replacements don't require permits, but projects involving new electrical circuits, extensive trenching, or significant system expansions often do. Local building departments establish these requirements, and many professional electricians handle permit applications as part of their service package.

The timeline for outdoor lighting installation varies based on project complexity. Basic systems might require only one to two days for complete installation, while extensive lighting networks with numerous fixtures and complex wiring needs could extend to a week or longer. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and soil characteristics can all influence how quickly professionals can complete your installation.

Outdoor lighting offers both practical and aesthetic benefits that many homeowners find valuable. Beyond enhancing nighttime visibility and security, well-designed lighting can highlight architectural features and extend outdoor living hours. While installation represents a significant investment, quality lighting may potentially increase property appeal and could contribute to overall home value.

Some outdoor lighting projects are suitable for homeowner installation, particularly simple solar fixtures or low-voltage systems that plug into existing outlets. However, projects requiring new electrical connections, permanent wiring, or integration with home electrical systems demand professional expertise. Electrical work carries inherent safety risks, and improper installation could create fire hazards or code violations.

The operating cost for outdoor lighting depends primarily on your fixture types, bulb selection, and usage patterns. Energy-efficient LED fixtures consume significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen alternatives. Controlling your lighting with timers, photocells, or motion sensors can further reduce energy usage by ensuring lights operate only when needed or beneficial.
