"JASON, Our tech made sure I understood exactly what the problem was and educated me how to recognize the previous electrical mis wiring. Jason was personable, professional, knowledgeable and efficient! I would hire this company and ask for Jason again! He solved our electrical problems, made sure we were happy and showed us what to look for with any other electrical concerns!!! Thank-you, Jason !"

"We had Ireland's Finest do a total home touch up and they did an excellent job. We were also having a problem with peeling paint in our windows and thresholds. The home is only 18 months old so you can imagine we were very frustrated that the paint was peeling in the first place. Ireland's Finest was out for an estimate within a week, and was able to come for the project within 3 weeks. They took extra measures to be sure the peeling doesn't return. The project lasted about 3 days and they were very thorough. They were always punctual if not early. They checked in and updated throughout the process and we also saw their supervisors come by a few times for inspections. Tom and Zack are the nicest people and you can tell they take great pride and thoroughly know and understand their trade. We will have them back for future products for certain. We plan on adding a once a year touch up with them. The vendor before we had on file for the home before them was very hard to reach and their communication was poor with false promises. It was SO NICE to have Ireland's Finest answer the phones, return emails, make an effort to come for a bid in a few short days, and fit us in during a busy time. They are highly recommended."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

If your lights are shorting out during rain storms or other winter events, you should probably replace them. These shorts indicate electrical issues that could cause serious hazards. Look for outdoor-rated lights with connectors made for rainy conditions to replace them. But if your Christmas lights are new and you want further protection, you can find weatherproof covers to add to the male-end connectors of your Christmas light strings. These can minimize the risk of shorts.

Outdoor lighting repairs typically take between 1-3 hours. The exact duration can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the problem, the extent of the damage, and the ease of access to the lighting fixtures and wiring.

Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they’re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more. The lifespan will depend largely on the quality of the fixture. The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:

  • CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours

  • Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours

  • HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours

  • Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours

  • LED bulb: 50,000 hours

There are tons of different types of landscape lighting available, including the choice between solar and wired, incandescent and LED, and a variety of colors. Specific types of lighting include:

  • Pathway lights: $50–$150 per fixture

  • String lights: $50–$150

  • Low-voltage lights: $90–$150 per fixture

  • Porch lights: $65–$250 per fixture

  • Floodlights: $75–$250 per fixture

  • Downlights: $100–$400 per fixture

  • Uplights: $100–$400 per fixture

  • Security lights: $ 350–$500 per fixture

  • Lamp posts: $400–$1,100 per lamp post

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’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’re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over.
