Why Choose Professional Holiday Lighting Installation?
Holiday lighting should be festive — not stressful or dangerous. Many Southern California homes have high rooflines, outdated exterior outlets, unstable ladders, or improper wiring that make DIY installations risky.
Professional installation ensures:
- Safe, code-compliant electrical connections
- Correct outdoor-rated wiring and equipment
- Even, balanced displays with no sagging cables or overloaded circuits
- Secure mounting that won’t damage roofing or fascia
- Weatherproof power solutions to prevent shorts or fire hazards
- Careful removal after the season without leaving behind damage
Express handles all electrical work with precision, ensuring your home looks incredible and stays safe throughout the holiday season.

Safety Comes First — Always
Holiday lighting causes thousands of electrical fires and ladder-related injuries nationwide every year. Southern California homeowners face additional risks from:
- Older wiring in historic LA homes
- Voltage fluctuations during winter storms
- Overloaded exterior circuits
- Low-quality extension cords or connectors
- Outdoor outlets lacking GFCI protection
Express Electrical Services eliminates these risks by performing all installation with the highest safety standards. Our licensed electricians ensure every connection is weatherproof, grounded, and code-compliant.

Before installation, we inspect your home’s exterior electrical system to ensure it can safely support your lighting display.
We check for:
- Fully functional GFCI outlets
- Proper outdoor circuit capacity
- Safe grounding and bonding
- Correct wire gauge for outdoor loads
- Weather-resistant outlet covers
- Safe extension cord routing
- No exposed or deteriorated wiring
If upgrades are needed — such as new outdoor outlets, GFCI installation, or circuit balancing — Express can complete the work the same day in most cases.

What To Do In An Electrical Emergency
From electric shock to power outages to fires, it’s important to have an action plan to maximize your family’s safety. Below are some tips on how to safely handle a variety of electrical emergencies:
Electrical Fire
If you notice sparking, jumping, smoke, or the smell of burning plastic, turn off the breakers immediately. Once the power is cut, if the fire is small and manageable, put it out with a fire blanket, water, or fire extinguisher. If the fire is too big or widespread, keep close to the ground and vacate the building. Call 911.
Power Outage
Check and reset your circuit breakers in case of a short-circuit or trip. If that is not the issue, turn off the breakers and plug your electronics in to surge protectors to prevent surges when the power returns. Prepare a power outage kit with water, non-perishable foods, battery-powered flashlight, candles, and mobile phones. Contact your power distributor for updates.
Electric Shock
Stay away from the person getting shocked and from any jumping or sparking wires. If you are near the circuit breaker, cut the power to that part of the house immediately. If cutting the power isn’t a feasible option, try to break contact between the person and the electrical object with an insulated object such as a wooden, plastic, or thick rubber object. Once the person is safe, call 911. If you have first aid or CPR training, administer it.
Downed Power Lines
Stay at least 40 feet away from fallen power lines, and avoid any conductive materials nearby, including trees. Warn others if possible, and immediately contact the power company. If you encounter a downed power line while driving, remain in the car and call 911.
