Outdoor Lighting Maintenance & Protection Plan

Outdoor lighting systems work every night in changing weather conditions. Over time, fixtures shift, plants grow, connections loosen, and timers need adjustment. Without proper maintenance, even a well-designed lighting system can begin to look uneven or stop working correctly.

At Larkin Outdoor Lighting, maintaining lighting systems is a major part of what we do. We help homeowners protect their investment through our Lighting Protection Plan, a service designed to keep outdoor lighting systems operating safely, efficiently, and looking exactly as they were intended.

Many of our clients enroll in this plan after installation, but we also service and repair lighting systems installed by other contractors throughout the Pittsburgh area.

Why Outdoor Lighting Systems Need Maintenance

Outdoor lighting systems are exposed to the elements year-round. Rain, snow, mulch, landscaping changes, and normal property maintenance can all affect how a system performs.

Over time, it is common to see issues such as:

    • Fixtures getting bumped by lawn equipment or landscaping crews
    • Plants and shrubs growing in front of lights
    • Soil settling and shifting fixture positions
    • Connections loosening due to weather and temperature changes
    • Dirt and debris building up on lenses
    • Timers needing seasonal adjustments

Even small changes can alter the appearance of a lighting design. A fixture that moves just a few inches can change how a tree, walkway, or architectural feature is illuminated.

Routine maintenance ensures the system continues to perform exactly as it was designed.

What Our Lighting Protection Plan Includes

Our Lighting Protection Plan is designed to keep your outdoor lighting system operating reliably while preserving the original look of the lighting design. During scheduled service visits, we perform a full inspection and make the adjustments needed to ensure every fixture is performing exactly as it should.

Our maintenance service includes:

    • Complete system inspection to verify fixtures, wiring connections, transformers, and power supplies are functioning properly
    • Fixture adjustments to correct any lights that have shifted due to soil movement, landscaping work, or weather
    • Lens cleaning and debris removal to eliminate dirt, mulch, and buildup that can reduce brightness
    • Vegetation management adjustments if plant growth begins blocking the intended lighting effect
    • Electrical performance testing to confirm proper voltage and balanced system operation
    • Timer and controller adjustments to account for seasonal daylight changes and maintain proper scheduling

Routine maintenance ensures your lighting continues to highlight your home, landscape, and architectural features exactly as it was designed to do.

Annual Lighting Protection Plan Pricing

Protection Plan pricing is based on the size and complexity of the lighting system.

1 – 20 Fixtures: $150 – $400 per year

20 – 50 Fixtures: $400 – $800 per year

50 – 75 Fixtures: $800 – $1,200 per year

Final pricing depends on several factors including system size, fixture accessibility, and the type of lighting system installed.

During your consultation we can recommend the best maintenance schedule for your property.

    • Ensure fixtures operate safely and efficiently
    • Extend the lifespan of the lighting system
