Can an electrician install a neon sign?

Short answer: Most LED neon signs don't need an electrician. They plug into a normal wall outlet with the adapter that comes with them. If you want the sign hardwired, with no cord showing, that's a job for a licensed electrician.

Plug-in (most signs)

• Hang it on the wall, plug it in, and switch it on.
• Run the cord along the wall or hide it with a cord cover.

When to call a licensed electrician

• Hardwiring into a junction box with no cord showing
• Adding a new outlet behind the sign
• Large storefront or outdoor signs that need a dedicated circuit or permit

Electrical work in Alberta must follow local code. Your electrician will know when a permit is needed.

Do we install?

No. Urban Now supplies the sign only. Your own electrician or sign shop handles any install. Want a hidden cord? Tell us when you request your quote so we can plan the cable length.
