What's different about lighting installation in Casper
LED fixtures handle cold well and cut energy use. Motion lights add security on larger lots. Permits for new circuits come from the City of Casper's community development department, and Rocky Mountain Power owns the service. Shop lighting with LED high bays is a common upgrade for garages used as work spaces.
Older homes may have small services or ungrounded wiring, and many mid-century houses have panels that cannot take a shop, an EV charger or a hot tub without an upgrade. Garages and shops with welders and heaters are a common source of new circuits.

Casper sits at about 5,000 feet on the high plains, with strong winds, long cold winters and heavy snow, and temperatures can drop well below zero. Summer storms bring hail and lightning.
