What causes half a string of Christmas Lights to go out?

• <div><p>If only half of your string of Christmas lights is out, it likely means that you have a broken or loose bulb somewhere along the strand. That’s why we suggest inspecting and testing each bulb to ensure it’s still tight and functioning properly. Luckily, this problem is quickly solved with a DIY fix, such as replacing the bad bulb or repairing a damaged shunt.</p></div>

Q: Are LED Christmas lights safe to leave up all year?

• <div><p>No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They&rsquo;re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they&rsquo;re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. </p></div>

Q: What maintenance is needed for holiday lighting between seasons?

• <div><p>Between seasons, inspect cords for damage, replace burnt-out bulbs, and clean lighting fixtures to prevent dirt buildup. Proper storage in cool, dry conditions will extend the lights' lifespan and minimize repairs or replacements when redeployed.</p></div>

Q: Is system testing part of the repair process for outdoor lighting?

• <div><p>Yes, most services include testing the system after repairs. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: What are the cons of motion sensor lights?

• <div><p>Before investing in motion sensor lights, there are a couple of disadvantages worth noting. For starters, they&rsquo;re not as reliable as other forms of lighting. Motion sensor lights can be accidentally triggered by pets or wind, which can become a nuisance after a while. The opposite situation can occur, too, where they don&rsquo;t turn on when you need them to. </p></div>

They came early. They finished the jobs within an hour. They helped us with a light we were having trouble with. They are great. I want them to come later to do more jobs for me. Their prices were resonable. I highly recommend them.

"They destroyed the whole pipes that caused flooding to my neighbors. The water was off and every other day we need to go out to the street to turn it on. This company denied the responsibility but later reimbursed me for the first leak repair after employee acknowledging doing partial work. This project aims to address and fix the extensive leaks. Must be completely replaced, cause of leaks appears to be from over heating of the copper as locations are at ALL connections and bends in the pipe, too much to patch. You can contact me to this phone number: 9(16) 857-5652"
