Serving Santa Cruz, Mount Hermon and Capitola

Coastal air is tough on electrical gear. Around Santa Cruz, salt and fog corrode outdoor panels, meter sockets, exterior outlets and light fixtures years before the same parts would fail inland. Many Central Coast homes are also older cottages and ranch houses with limited original wiring.

In Santa Cruz we regularly work in Downtown Santa Cruz, the Upper Eastside, Beach Hill, Seabright and the Westside. Our outdoor lighting installation service also covers nearby Mount Hermon, Capitola, Soquel, Scotts Valley, Felton and Ben Lomond. ZIP codes served: 95060, 95061, 95062, 95063, 95064, 95065.

What affects outdoor lighting installation pricing in Santa Cruz

Outdoor lighting installation cost in Santa Cruz depends on the number and type of fixtures, how far power has to travel, and whether trenching is needed. Low-voltage landscape systems are priced by fixture count and transformer size. Line-voltage security and patio lighting is priced by the circuit and the run. You get a written price either way.

Santa Cruz outdoor lighting installation FAQs

Can you add outdoor outlets at the same time?

Yes, and it is the cheapest time to do it. See outlet installation for GFCI and weather-resistant options.

Will the lights come on automatically?

We install photocells, timers, motion sensors or smart controls so lighting runs on a schedule or reacts to movement. See smart home wiring.

How do fixtures hold up in Santa Cruz weather?

We use wet-rated fixtures and sealed connections. Near the coast we favor brass, copper or marine-grade finishes that resist corrosion, and in hot inland areas we avoid plastics that turn brittle in the sun.

Do you repair existing landscape lighting?

Yes. We trace cut wires, replace failed transformers and convert old halogen systems to LED. For interior work, see lighting installation.

In customers' words

They ran the 50 amp circuit and disconnect for our spa and coordinated the inspection. Neat work, and they showed up when they said they would.

Luis C.Hot tub wiring

Twelve recessed lights and two dimmers in the living room, done in a day with no patching needed. The layout advice alone was worth the call.

Tom and Linda W.Recessed lighting

After a surge took out our garage door opener and a TV, they installed a whole house protector at the panel. Quick job, clear price, no upsell.
