Electrician for Outdoor Lighting

What Type of Outdoor Lighting Do You Need?

Question: What should homeowners or business owners ask when planning to
buy and install outdoor lighting to enhance safety, aesthetics, and value?


Answer: At Premium Electric Ltd. we encourage you to think beyond simply placing lights. You should identify your goals. What do you want?

  • Safety lighting to reduce dark spots and deter intruders
  • Accent lighting to highlight landscaping or architecture
  • Or motion-sensor security lighting to save energy

Our licensed electricians can install everything from pathway and post lights to stair and flood lighting, integrate sensors and LED upgrades for energy efficiency, and ensure the wiring and circuit panel meet current code. The result: a well-lit exterior that boosts curb appeal, extends outdoor living space, and protects your property in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland.

Outdoor Lighting Electrician Can Install Motion Activated Sensors

Every year our homes become more laden with electronic devices that require more electricity for charging or operating purposes. The function of a circuit breaker is to manage the flow of electricity to devices and appliances plugged in throughout your home. When there is too much draw on a breaker, it will inevitably trip.

For instance, it is not uncommon to see older breakers trip after an exhaust fan installation or lighting upgrades.

A circuit breaker electrician can install new breakers or upgrade your circuit panel if necessary. This work should only be done by a licensed electrician, a professional who understands the necessary electrical code requirements. Trying to save money by attempting circuit breaker replacement on your own can be dangerous.

Installing the wrong breakers for your needs may not completely solve your breaker tripping or fuse burnout problems.

For example, hot tub installations can either be 110 volt or 220 volt, depending on the size of your hot tub. A qualified electrician will be able to tell what your circuit panel requirements will be for this type of installation.

Improper circuit breaker installation can also pose a potential fire hazard and may cause electrical fluctuations that increase your risk of property damage or electrocution.

Our Abbotsford electricians have the experience and skill required to determine if your circuit breaker is what is causing the problem, or if there is another concern with your wiring system that needs to be addressed.
