Edmond’s housing is mostly single-family and newer than the national average. That shapes how a permanent lighting project goes here: rooflines with more gables, hips and garage runs, possible HOA approval, and a city-owned power company on your bill.

What Edmond’s homes mean for your roofline

The City of Edmond’s 2023 Housing Assessment gives a clear picture of the housing stock (City of Edmond):

  • 80% of housing units are single-family, detached or attached, and single-family homes made up 94% of housing permits from 2010 to 2022.
  • The housing is young. Only about 10% was built before 1970, the median home is about 30 years old (the national median is 41), and about 14% was built in 2010 or later.
  • Most homes for sale are 1,700 to 2,500 square feet with three to five bedrooms.

For lighting, newer homes in this size range often have more complex rooflines than an older ranch: multiple front gables, hip corners and a garage set forward or to the side. Each peak and corner adds linear feet, and those feet set the price. That is why we decide with you what to light: just the front, the street-facing sides, or the whole perimeter. Our Good, Better and Best tiers match those choices. Newer fascia and gutters are often in good shape for mounting track, but we still check before we quote.

Powered by Edmond Electric

Homes inside Edmond city limits are served by Edmond Electric, which calls itself Oklahoma’s largest community-owned electric utility. It has served Edmond since 1908, now serves more than 90,000 residents inside city limits, and returns its profits to city services such as police, fire, streets and parks (Edmond Electric).

Permanent LED lighting uses little power. To estimate it yourself: kWh = total watts × hours on ÷ 1,000. A system drawing 100 watts for 6 hours a night uses about 0.6 kWh a night, or roughly 18 kWh a month. Multiply that by the rate on your Edmond Electric bill. Your quote lists the rated wattage of the system we propose, so you can check our numbers.

Luminance season

Edmond’s own holiday lights are a highlight of the season. Luminance: An Enchanted Stroll returns to Mitch Park (1501 W. Covell Rd.) from November 20, 2026 through January 1, 2027, 5 to 10 p.m. daily, with free admission (City of Edmond). It has 30+ lit displays along about a quarter mile of the Mitch Park trails and calls itself the only 3D walk-through holiday light display in Oklahoma (EdmondLights.com). Kickoff night is Friday, November 20, and there is a community event night on Saturday, December 12.

With permanent lights, your house can be ready for the season on November 20 too. Schedule the holiday scene once in the app, and it comes back every year.

HOAs and architectural review in Edmond

If your Edmond neighborhood has an HOA, expect permanent exterior hardware to need architectural approval, even if seasonal decorations don’t. We give you what review committees usually ask for: product specs, the mounting method, the track color and a mockup of your house. We install after you are approved.

Edmond questions

Permanent lights in Edmond: FAQ

How much will permanent lights add to my Edmond Electric bill?

Usually not much, because the lights are LEDs. Kilowatt-hours equal total watts × hours on ÷ 1,000. A system drawing 100 W for 6 hours a night uses about 18 kWh a month. Multiply that by the rate on your Edmond Electric bill. Your quote lists the actual rated wattage of the system we propose, so you can do the math with real numbers.

My Edmond neighborhood has an HOA. Can I still install permanent lights?

Usually, yes, but many HOAs treat permanent exterior hardware as a change that needs architectural approval. We can give you a spec sheet, the mounting method and a color-matched mockup to submit, and we install after approval.
