Frustrated couple installing Christmas lights in the snow: husband on a ladder, cold wife gesturing, and partly unlit strings hanging loose.

Christmas lights without the setup headaches

Putting lights up every winter means sorting strings, reaching awkward roof edges and working out where to plug everything in. You can have that seasonal setup handled for you, or choose permanent holiday lights beneath the eaves to avoid rehanging the roofline each year. Ben'Z Electric installs both options, with mounting, outdoor power and controls planned around the selected system.

The roofline needs decorating again

Seasonal strings have to go up and come down. Permanent holiday lighting offers another option when you want the roofline lights to stay in place.

The power route complicates the layout

The lights you want may be far from a suitable power source. Both temporary strings and permanent systems need a workable connection and cable route.

The controls need to fit your routine

A seasonal timer and a permanent lighting controller work differently. Choosing the right setup helps you avoid an inconvenient nightly switching routine.

Ben's Electric has been great to work with. I have used them twice now. Very fast in responding to my problems. Resolved the problem both times.

They also stopped what they were doing and drove to Cornelius because i needed my outside lights fixed ASAP. I would highly recommend using Ben'z for any of your electrical needs.

Benz Electric resolved an ongoing issue in a short visit. I had a new water heater installed by Total Plumbing and have not had hot water for about 2 weeks. They came out 3 times and finally said it was the circuit breaker.
The electrician checked everything and determined they had installed a commercial heater and it wouldn’t work in a residential house. All of the specifications exceeded the residential requirements.
Thanks to Benz Electric. I would recommend them to anyone requiring their services.

Choose lights for the season or the whole year

Keep the seasonal display you enjoy, or install permanent roofline lighting you can use beyond Christmas.

Seasonal decorating handled

Have temporary strings mounted around the agreed porch, window, tree or roofline areas without taking on the setup yourself.

Permanent lights stay in place

Under-eave LED holiday lighting remains installed after Christmas. Available colors, patterns and everyday lighting settings depend on the system you choose.

Power and controls considered together

The installation plan covers mounting, cable routes, the power supply and controls. Review the finished operation and any agreed schedule during the walkthrough.

Before You Book

Christmas Light Installation FAQs

Compare seasonal and permanent lighting, understand the electrical work and prepare for your estimate.

Do you install both seasonal and permanent Christmas lights?

Yes. Ben'Z Electric installs seasonal Christmas light displays and permanent under-eave holiday lighting. Seasonal strings are temporary decorations; permanent lighting stays mounted to the home year-round. Your estimate will describe the selected option, equipment and installation work.

What does permanent holiday lighting look like?

Permanent LED holiday lighting typically uses small lights in a discreet track beneath the eaves. The lights remain installed after the holidays. Color choices, patterns, scheduling and everyday accent-lighting options depend on the system selected for your home.

Is permanent holiday lighting the same as recessed soffit lights?

No. Permanent holiday lighting uses a series of small LEDs along the roofline, often in a surface-mounted track. Recessed soffit fixtures sit in openings in the underside of the eaves and provide architectural downlighting. Tell us which result you want so the estimate covers the right type of installation.

Can you install lights I already own?

Send photos and the product name or model before purchasing more equipment. Seasonal strings need to be suitable for outdoor use and in usable condition. Customer-supplied permanent systems need a compatibility and mounting review. The estimate should state who provides the lights, controls and mounting materials.

Will I need a new outlet or electrical circuit?

That depends on the chosen lights, available power and installation location. The power source, outdoor protection, circuit load and cable route need review. Any outlet repair, additional outlet or circuit work should be identified in the estimate rather than assumed to be included.

Can I schedule the lights or change their colors?

Seasonal lights can use a compatible outdoor-rated timer. Permanent systems may offer schedules, color settings and app controls, depending on the equipment. Discuss the functions you want before choosing a system; the walkthrough covers the controls included in your installation.

Are removal, maintenance and storage included?

Seasonal takedown, storage and in-season service are separate arrangements to include in your request. Permanent holiday lighting stays installed and does not need seasonal removal. Maintenance needs and any product warranty terms depend on the selected equipment and agreed scope.

How do I get a price and installation date?

Ben'Z Electric offers free estimates. Send your address, property photos, preferred date and whether you want seasonal or permanent lights. Roofline length, access, equipment and any electrical work affect the price. The team will discuss availability before a date is booked.
