Christmas Light Installation
in Tempe, AZ
Professional holiday lighting for Tempe homes, restaurants, retail businesses, and neighborhoods. From Mill Avenue to South Tempe — we bring the holiday spirit to every corner of the city.
We Know Tempe — Town Lake, Mill Ave & Everything Between
When most people hear Tempe, they think of Tempe Town Lake, Arizona State University, and the energy of Mill Avenue. When our team hears Tempe, we think of TED's Hot Dogs, Texas Roadhouse, and The Buzzed Goat — because those are some of the Tempe businesses we've had the honor of lighting up over the years.
Holiday Lights Phoenix has been serving Tempe since 2019 — and Tempe holds a special place for us. Three of our team members once worked at Ted's Hot Dogs on Southern Avenue, and it was that Tempe community spirit that helped Holiday Lights Phoenix go from a dream to a reality. Tempe isn't just a service area — it's part of our story.
We serve all four Tempe zip codes — 85281, 85282, 85283, and 85284 — covering everything from the neighborhoods near ASU and Tempe Town Lake to the established residential streets of South Tempe and the busy commercial corridors of Baseline and Elliot.

Tempe Businesses We've Lit Up
From a Tempe institution born in Buffalo in 1983 to restaurants that kept their holiday spirit alive through COVID — here are some of our favorite Tempe projects.
TED's Hot Dogs
Three of our Holiday Lights Phoenix team members once worked right here at this Tempe staple — a Buffalo, NY original that opened in 1983. TED's was part of the inspiration that turned our company from a dream into a reality. Go ASU! We are proud to keep this Tempe landmark lit up every holiday season.
Texas Roadhouse Tempe
When COVID hit and dining rooms across Tempe went dark, Holiday Lights Phoenix was the only holiday lighting company still spreading Christmas cheer. Texas Roadhouse trusted us to help draw in business during the toughest possible season — and we delivered a display that made their location stand out on the strip.
The Buzzed Goat
The Buzzed Goat has locations in both Tempe and Ahwatukee — and we service both every season with roofline and landscape lighting. First-time Holiday Lights Phoenix clients through The Buzzed Goat get a free drink card on us. Cheers to the holidays!

South Tempe's newer neighborhoods along Kyrene and Warner roads — popular with families, with active HOA communities and beautiful desert landscaping.

Tempe's busy commercial cross-streets — restaurants, retail, medical offices, and service businesses that benefit from holiday curb appeal all season long.
"We've used Holiday Lights Phoenix for our South Tempe home for two years now. Always on time, the lights look incredible, and when one bulb shifted they were back within 24 hours. Could not ask for more."
"They lit up our restaurant on Mill Ave during the holiday season and the foot traffic difference was noticeable. Guests were stopping to take photos outside. Professional crew, fast install, great result."
"I heard about Holiday Lights Phoenix through The Buzzed Goat and booked my home install that same week. The crew was great, the design was exactly what I wanted, and the whole experience was stress-free."

Christmas Light Questions from
Tempe Homeowners & Businesses
Common questions we hear from Tempe residents and business owners before booking their holiday lighting install.
Yes. We serve all four Tempe zip codes — 85281 (ASU/University area), 85282 (Central Tempe), 85283 (South Tempe), and 85284 (Kyrene/Warner area). From Tempe Town Lake to the Chandler border, every Tempe address is in our service area.
Absolutely — Tempe's restaurant and entertainment scene is one of our favorite commercial service areas. We've installed displays for TED's Hot Dogs, Texas Roadhouse, The Buzzed Goat, and other Tempe dining and hospitality businesses. We schedule off-hours installs to avoid disrupting your service, and we offer priority maintenance throughout the season.
Most Tempe residential installs range from $500 to $2,500 all-inclusive — covering design, LED lights, installation, maintenance, January removal, and storage. Commercial projects are quoted based on a site visit. All estimates are free and provided within 24 hours of your request.
Yes. The neighborhoods near ASU have some of Tempe's most character-rich homes — ranch-style, mid-century, and older brick construction. We adapt our clip and fastener systems to fit each home's specific roofline material, including older styles that may not have gutters or standard eave profiles. Every install is non-damaging and leaves no residue.
We recommend booking by September. Tempe — especially the commercial corridor and the residential areas of South Tempe — fills up quickly once the season opens. We begin installations in early October and we prioritize clients who book early. Don't wait until November.
Yes — first-time Holiday Lights Phoenix clients referred through The Buzzed Goat receive a free drink card at either the Tempe or Ahwatukee location. Just mention The Buzzed Goat when you request your estimate and we will get you sorted. It's our way of giving back to the Tempe community that helped us get started.
