Calgary isn’t exactly known for its gentle winters. Between the snowfall, bitter winds, and temperatures that make even polar bears shiver, homeowners here have to think practically. And when it comes to outdoor lighting, “practical” used to mean wrestling with tangled cords in freezing weather every December, only to take them down again by February.
Not anymore.
Enter HomeOne Lights—a permanent, all-weather lighting system that’s changing the way Calgarians think about curb appeal, holiday decor, and year-round outdoor lighting. If you’ve been eyeing this slick, no-fuss lighting upgrade for your home, here’s everything you need to know about installing HomeOne Lights and why it might just be one of the smartest decisions you’ll make as a Calgary homeowner.
What Are HomeOne Lights, Exactly?
HomeOne Lights are permanent outdoor LED lighting systems that are custom-installed on your home. They’re designed to be discreet by day and dazzling by night. Unlike traditional string lights, these are sleek, color-changing LEDs professionally mounted along your roofline or architectural features. They’re built to withstand Calgary’s tough climate, and controlled entirely through an app—so you can change colors, set schedules, and switch up patterns without ever grabbing a ladder.
Think: Christmas lights, birthday lights, Flames game night lights, Canada Day lights, even “just because it’s Thursday” lights.
They’re permanent, but versatile. Festive, but subtle when you want them to be. In short, they’re everything outdoor lighting should be.
Why Calgary Homeowners Are Making the Switch
Calgary has always been a city of extremes—weather, sports loyalty, and yes, home improvements. More and more homeowners are discovering that HomeOne Lights aren’t just about decoration; they’re about lifestyle.
Here’s why the switch is catching on:
- Low Maintenance: No more climbing up slippery ladders in sub-zero temperatures to hang or take down lights.
- Weatherproof Build: These lights are engineered for extreme cold, wind, and snow—perfect for our climate.
- Year-Round Flexibility: Use them for holidays, family events, awareness campaigns, or just everyday ambiance.
- Energy Efficient: LEDs use less electricity, which is easier on both the planet and your utility bill.
- App Control: From your couch or even on vacation, you’re in full control of your lights.
HomeOne Lights aren’t just a convenience; they’re a curb appeal upgrade, a safety boost, and a tech-savvy home improvement wrapped in one.
The Installation Process: What to Expect
One of the best parts of installing HomeOne Lights is how streamlined the process is. It’s quick, clean, and tailored to your home’s unique structure and style.
Here’s what the process typically looks like:
1. Consultation & Quote
It all starts with a free consultation. A HomeOne technician will visit your home (or sometimes offer a virtual consult with photos) to assess your roofline, take measurements, and understand your preferences. You’ll get a customized quote based on the length of lighting needed and any additional features you want.
2. Design & Planning
Next comes the fun part: designing your lighting system. Want your house to sparkle red and white for Canada Day? Or flicker in Flames colors during hockey playoffs? This is where you choose what matters most—colors, brightness levels, scheduling preferences, and more.
3. Installation Day
Installation usually takes just one day. The HomeOne team shows up with everything they need—tools, lighting components, and expertise. They’ll install the lights along your fascia, gutters, or eaves in a way that’s nearly invisible when turned off. No exposed wires. No hanging bulbs. Just a clean, professional look that blends seamlessly into your home’s exterior.
Most importantly, they’ll work efficiently and safely—so you don’t have to lift a finger (or a ladder).
4. Setup & App Walkthrough
Once installed, you’ll get a hands-on demo of the HomeOne Lights app. From here, you can control individual zones, set schedules, and browse a library of presets. Want warm white lights for a calm evening? Or red and green for December 1st through 31st? It’s all right there, ready to go.
Customization: Lights That Fit Your Life
One of the best things about HomeOne Lights is how adaptable they are. This isn’t just a seasonal upgrade—it’s a year-round enhancement to your home. The lighting can match your mood, your events, or even your favorite team’s jersey colors.
Some ways Calgarians are using their lights:
- Subtle white glow for cozy nights in
- Bright color patterns for birthday parties or anniversaries
- Seasonal presets that switch automatically (set it once and forget it)
- Red and white themes for Canada Day or Remembrance Day
- Orange and purple for Halloween
Whether you’re the festive type or someone who just wants a bit of elegant glow after sundown, the lights adapt to your lifestyle.
Cost vs. Value: Is It Worth It?
While HomeOne Lights do come with an upfront cost (typically based on the square footage of your lighting area), the long-term value is hard to ignore.
Think about what you’d spend year after year on new string lights, replacement bulbs, or professional light-hanging services—not to mention the time and risk involved in doing it yourself. Then consider the added curb appeal, potential increase in home value, and sheer convenience of a system that just works.
Many homeowners report that after one season, they never want to go back to the “old way.” It’s the kind of upgrade you didn’t know you needed until you have it—then you wonder how you ever managed without it.
Final Thoughts: Set It and Forget It Lighting
Installing HomeOne Lights isn’t just about decorating for the holidays—it’s about elevating your home, simplifying your routine, and embracing a smart, modern way to light up your life. Whether you’re watching a winter snowfall through the window or hosting a backyard party on a summer night, your lighting is ready to reflect the moment.
For Calgary homeowners tired of ladders, tangled cords, and short-term solutions, HomeOne Lights offer something permanent—but with all the flexibility in the world.
Ready to brighten up your home, year-round? Then it might be time to join the growing number of Calgarians making the switch to HomeOne Lights.
