No fine print. No surprises. Just a system you'll own for 15+ years.

24V Gen 2 System

Brighter, more reliable, and longer-lasting than 12V alternatives. Consistent brightness across 200+ feet with zero voltage drop.

In-House Crews Only

Every installation is done by our own trained team. We never subcontract. Same people from quote to final walkthrough.

Zero Subscriptions

You own your system outright. No monthly fees, no annual renewals, no app charges. 75,000+ effects are yours forever.

Canadian Electrical Code

Every install meets or exceeds the Canadian Electrical Code. Proper conduit, weatherproof connections, certified wiring.

Custom Track Colour Match

Aluminium extrusion track colour-matched to your soffit. Disappears by day, comes alive at night.

Lifetime Support

Questions

Common questions about Starise

Yes. We offer flexible financing through Stripe. Choose 6 months at 7.99% or 12 months at 8.99%. You can apply during your quote consultation with no impact on your credit score for pre-approval.

Franchises charge subscription fees, use subcontractors, and pass franchise royalties into your price. Starise is locally owned, uses in-house crews, charges zero subscriptions, and installs 24V Gen 2 systems — not the older 12V hardware many franchises still use.

Never. Every installation is completed by our own trained crew. This means consistent quality, direct accountability, and a single point of contact from your first call to your final walkthrough.

Everything. Lights, aluminium extrusion track (colour-matched), controller, app setup, full installation labour, and cleanup. There are no hidden fees, no add-ons, and no subscriptions after install.

The LED puck nodes are rated for 50,000+ hours of use. With typical residential usage, that's 15+ years before you'd even need to think about replacement. The aluminium track and wiring last even longer.
