"The salesman missed the first appointment scheduled for 10:00 April 23 - received call from officie at 9:10 He had emergency.scheduled next appointment for April 28 at 10:00 and salesman showed 20 minutes late. He got stuck in traffic. Salesman was very honest about the deal I had purchased the 6 landscaping lights for $649. I could take the deal but I would be calling again to add additional lights. His ideas were right on and what type of lights and where to put them. The job was scheduled for May 6 and it would take 2 days. They called to say they could come out earlier and they did and installed all of the lights in a day and a half. The lights look great and one of the lights went out just a few weeks ago and I called and they were out the next day. There is a 5 year warranty on the lights. "
"Great job! Quick and professional. 2 x sensor light apparatus were replace up on back side of two story home. Very high and they took care of it quickly and the new lights look and work great!"
"Professionalism every step of the way; from the initial estimate, to installation and follow up. Marvin Padilla explained every possible layout and option and really took the time to listen to our design. No high-pressure sales tactics, just quality, friendly proposal. We hired them to do a front garden retaining wall and a patio in the back. Day of installation the crew of 6 show up and hit the ground running; took them 1 1/2 days to complete both jobs and we couldn't be happier with the results. We've already gotten lots of compliments from neighbors who are now interested in their work. If I'm ever in need again of stonework or landscaping services, I'm not looking anywhere else!"
"There was an existing ceiling fixture in that case and the went smoothly. Based on that previous experience, when I saw the Pariseau Electric deal for $295, I grabbed it after reading the fine print. The fine print seemed to suggest that as long as there was an existing light switch with supporting wiring in the walls that the work would fall under the deal. I tried calling James, the business owner, towards the end of the deal offer period, but couldn't reach him. So, I got the deal and then wound up getting in touch with him after the purchase.
After describing the existing room configuration and wiring, he estimated that his work would cost $400 rather than $295. In addition, he estimated that about $200-$300 of dry wall repair work would be necessary after the job. All-in, this winds up being a bigger expense than we can undertake at the current time. Although this development is disappointing, I appreciate that James was upfront and honest about anticipated costs when I spoke to him on the phone."
Yes, most services include testing the system after repairs. Confirm with your provider.
You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring.
You can use outdoor electrical outlets to conveniently power landscaping equipment such as electrical lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and pressure washers. From a recreational standpoint, outdoor outlets are handy for powering electric grills, mini-fridges, and stereos. They're also helpful when it's time to string Christmas lights on your home and around your property.
Options include pathway lights, spotlights, and smart lighting systems. Choose based on function and aesthetics.
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.
