How often should we schedule outdoor lighting maintenance like fixture cleaning, angle adjustments, and lens cleaning to keep everything looking its best?
Quick Answer
Most homes need outdoor lighting maintenance once a year, and some need it twice. Commercial properties need it once or twice a year. Our maintenance plans include a yearly cleaning and aiming visit.
Detailed Answer
How often to maintain outdoor lighting systems depends mostly on the property. Homes with fast-growing plantings, mature trees or well lights that catch falling leaves often need a second yearly visit, and we can add one when yours does. For a commercial property, we’ll talk through whether one visit a year or two fits the property best.
During a maintenance visit, we:
- Clean fixtures and lenses, clearing the pollen, dirt and hard-water spots that dim the light.
- Re-aim fixtures as plants grow, so the light still lands where it was designed to.
- Check seals and connections. A dried-out seal lets water into a fixture, and connections can loosen as they heat and cool.
- Replace failed lamps so no part of the design sits dark.
Between visits, let us know if a light goes out, a lens fogs with moisture or a storm knocks a fixture loose, and we’ll set up a visit to fix it.
When you’re ready to schedule outdoor lighting maintenance, tell us about your home or commercial property. We’ll quote a maintenance plan built around a yearly cleaning and aiming visit, with a schedule that fits your property.
