About Guelph Christmas Lights

A direct booking line for one vetted, insured holiday lighting installer working across Guelph, Rockwood, Fergus and Elora.

Guelph Christmas Lights is a booking line, not a lighting company, and it does not pretend to be one. It exists so a Guelph homeowner, landlord, condo board or shop owner who wants lights up this season, or wants to stop putting them up every season, reaches one vetted local installer quickly instead of filling in four forms and waiting for calls from strangers.

The work is done by a holiday lighting installer who carries liability insurance and WSIB coverage, works to Ontario's fall-protection rules on ladders and roof edges, uses outdoor-rated lights with a recognised Canadian certification mark, hangs them on clips rather than nails or staples, quotes in writing after a look at the house, and is accountable for the job through to January takedown. Your details are not sold to a list or auctioned.

The lane is holiday and decorative lighting: seasonal Christmas light installation, permanent year-round roofline lighting, tree and landscape lighting, takedown and storage, and commercial holiday lighting. New electrical circuits and outlets are electrical work and are done by a Licensed Electrical Contractor under an ESA notification, arranged separately when needed.

The local facts on this site were checked against the sources they cite: the Electrical Safety Authority's holiday and licensing guidance, Health Canada's testing of decorative lighting strings, the Ontario Energy Board's regulated prices, Alectra Utilities' service to Guelph and Rockwood, the City of Guelph's heritage district, permit guide, encroachment and civic events pages, and Environment Canada's climate normals. Where something is for the City or the Township to decide, such as a heritage permit or a boulevard tree, the site says so instead of guessing.

Some jobs are declined: trees grown into power lines, roofs that cannot be worked safely, fastening into heritage masonry, and uncertified or damaged lights.

How this works

When you call 289-278-6547 or send the form, your details go directly to the holiday lighting installer covering Guelph, not to a list and not to a call centre. In November the crew is on ladders most of the day, so calls often go to voicemail; the message and your number reach them at once by text and email, and you can expect a call back the same day or the next working day. The next step is a short visit or a request for photos of the front and sides of the house and the outlets; the written quote follows, naming the lights, the runs, takedown and storage, and for permanent lighting the mounting line and controller, so there is nothing to argue about on install day.

What we won't do

• Publish reviews we didn't earn. When we have them, they'll be real ones with names.
• Quote a firm price before someone has seen the job.
• Send anyone into your property who we would not have in our own.
