What’s the safest way to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>There are several ways to hang Christmas lights safely. Here are some key <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/christmas-lights-safety-tips.htm">Christmas light safety tips</a> to keep in mind:</p><ul><li><p>Always use Christmas lights and extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.</p></li><li><p>Don’t overload outlets by plugging in too many lights.</p></li><li><p>Opt for LED lights for a safer display that saves on energy costs.</p></li><li><p>Do not use old or broken Christmas lights.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Should you DIY or hire a pro to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You’ll need to purchase a ladder (<b>$100 to $300</b>), clips (<b>$10 to $20</b>), hooks (<b>$10 to $15</b>), and lights (<b>$25 to $100 per string</b>).</p><p>Otherwise, you should hire a trusted <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/holiday-decorators/">holiday light installer</a> near you. You’ll pay an average price of <b>$200 to $650</b>, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely. </p></div>

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: Can I use duct tape to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it&rsquo;s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn&rsquo;t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.</p></div>

Q: How can I hang Christmas lights on my ceiling without nails?

• <div><p>You now know you can hang Christmas lights with adhesive hooks, but if you need alternatives, consider pushpins, tacks, staples, and adhesive putty (for small projects). If you have a drop ceiling, look for clips and hooks designed for the metal framing. </p></div>

Great experience! Josh was very kind and helpful. Had to go find some replacement parts and when they didn't have one in the store, told me what part I should order online. Once I received it, he came back and finished the project quickly, just in time for the holidays. Happily recommend!

Byron was easy to get a hold of and schedule. He troubleshooted a system that was not cooling well and discovered that the compressor was not good, but was still under warranty. He helped us sort the warranty out, got the replacement part, came back the next day and finished the job even though...

He came out on the holiday, didn’t charge me time and a half. Did a great job. Was not able to fix it all on the same day, because he needed an additional part. He did have it temporarily working, but then came back and made sure it worked correctly.

"Absolutely outstanding experience! We couldn?t be happier with our holiday lighting installation. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and clearly took pride in their work. They designed a beautiful layout that made our home look like something out of a Christmas movie ? every strand was perfectly straight and every tree wrapped with care. They were respectful of our property, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless when they finished. Communication was excellent the entire way through, and they even followed up to make sure we were satisfied once the lights were turned on. It?s rare these days to find such craftsmanship, attention to detail, and customer service. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking to make their home sparkle this holiday season! "
