Q: Does cold weather affect Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. </p></div>

Q: What are the common issues with outdoor lighting that require repair?

• <div><p>Common repairs include fixing exposed wiring, replacing damaged bulbs, or repairing faulty fixtures that compromise lighting functionality.</p></div>

Q: Do outdoor lights need to be on a GFCI?

• <div><p>The requirements for outdoor lighting will vary depending on the type of light, where it&rsquo;s located on the exterior of your home, and your local electrical code. Lights that come into contact with water (i.e. pool lights) will need to be on a GFCI, for instance. That being said, it&rsquo;s safest to have any outdoor light on GFCI because of the risk of moisture. A pro can give you more specific information for your unique circumstances.</p></div>

Q: Does outdoor wiring need to be conduit?

• <div><p>Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.</p></div>

He was excellent. The only thing I think he did not do a good job on, I asked him as an after thought. The lights were not that easy to access but as far as window cleaning he was excellent. It was $10 per window but did not realize my windows had so many panes in each window. So next time it...

I chose them because I own a Toyota so I figured I'd just try going with the dealer. There were a couple of lights on the dash that I wanted checked and I thought they would be the best people to know the reason. I liked them because I felt like giving the concerns that I had expressed that...
