Permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting in Lower Burrell, PA

Lower Burrell is suburban Westmoreland County, about 20 miles and 30 minutes from our shop in Kittanning. Ranches, split-levels and colonials on quiet streets off Route 56, and we light all three styles year-round.

Residential roofline lit at night with permanent Thraxel lighting

Lower Burrell was built out mostly in the decades after the war, so the streets are lined with brick ranches, split-levels and two-story colonials on half-acre lots. That mix is a permanent lighting sweet spot. A ranch takes one long clean line across the front. A split-level gets a stepped design that follows the two roof heights. A colonial is peaks, dormers and a porch, each on its own zone.

The city is 30 minutes from Kittanning on Route 56 and Route 66, which puts it squarely inside the daily route. The consult is free, and it comes with the demo hard case so you can watch four live RGBWW strips run on your own driveway. A render of your house, not a stock template, is back within 24 hours, and most Lower Burrell homes are installed in a day.

Christmas here is the traditional kind. Warm-white C9 along the roof edge, wrapped columns, greenery on the railing and a lit tree in the front yard. The Elves hang it in November when the weather permits, fix anything that fails within 24 to 48 hours, and start takedowns January 4. Your lights are labeled, packed and stored until the next season.

Why Lower Burrell homes are a good fit

Mid-century homes here usually have aluminum or wood fascia in good shape, which is ideal for color-matched track. The track is chosen to match the trim color and sits tight under the drip edge, so the neighbors do not know it is there until the lights come on. The strip itself is IP67 silicone on 16-gauge wire and has been salt-tested for road spray and winter grit.

The Alle-Kiski Valley winter is wet, gray and long. A permanent system means the house is lit from the first snow to the last thaw with nobody on a ladder, and the warm-white diode keeps it looking like architectural lighting rather than a holiday display until you decide otherwise. Electricity for a typical 168-LED install runs about $52.80 a year.

FAQ

Lower Burrell lighting questions

Yes. Lower Burrell is about 20 miles and roughly 30 minutes from Thraxel's shop in Kittanning, inside the Westmoreland County part of our Pennsylvania service area. We install permanent RGBWW roofline, soffit and column lighting on the ranches, split-levels and colonials that make up most of the city. The consultation is free, the demo case comes along, and a render of your specific home is returned within 24 hours.
A split-level has two roof heights and usually a garage below the upper level, so Thraxel designs it as separate zones. The upper roofline, the lower roofline and the garage each get their own run of color-matched track, and the app lets you light them together or independently. Individually addressable pixels mean the stepped line can run one continuous color or animate across the levels. The render shows the exact result before install.
Yes. Thraxel's permanent system uses IP67 marine-grade silicone housings on 16-gauge wire, mounted in aluminum track that is fastened to the fascia rather than hung from a gutter. Ice dams, snow load and the wet, windy Alle-Kiski Valley winter are within its rating, and it stays up year-round. Parts are warranted for 3 years and labor for 1 year, and a failed pixel is typically replaced the same day.
