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: Who can I hire to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Aside from a <a href="https://match.angi.com/booknow/zip?taskoid=61520">professional light installation company</a>, there are a few other pros who may be able to help you hang Christmas lights. Along with specialty holiday decorators, a handyperson near you can also hang Christmas lights (and can fix that pesky drippy sink while they&rsquo;re at it). Either way, not all of these pros will offer the service, so be sure to call ahead and get multiple quotes before you hire.</p></div>

Q: Can you hang lights on eaves?

• <div><p>Yes, if your roof is in stable condition, you should be able to hang Christmas lights from the eaves. Hang Christmas light directly from the eaves for best results, using light clips or an alternative type of adhesive. When installing lights on your eaves, be sure to work carefully and avoid adding too much weight or pressure to them.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install permanent Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Permanent lights can save you big in labor costs down the line, as you&rsquo;ll only need to invest in installing them once. As with regular lights, costs vary based on the display and the size of your home. Costs are similar to hanging regular lights, typically falling between <b>$220 and $650</b>. </p></div>

Q: Can I replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs on a light string?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn&rsquo;t insert an LED light into an incandescent socket. It usually won&rsquo;t fit anyway, but in the unlikely chance that it does, its electrical demands are too different for it to work properly. </p></div>

"LOVE LOVE LOVE--- no more climbing on the roof to put lights on the peak of my house. Install was quick -- one day ! Program them to whatever I want, or used the "canned" holidays to light up my house for every occasion. Option to pay over 12 months with no finance charges was great. So worth the $"

"They were professional and easy to work with. When I called the office, she was friendly, and gave me the price and made an appointment over the phone. They sent a confirmation of the appointment and the invoice by email, as well as an appointment reminder. The technician came on time and was friendly. He took his time and did a thorough job. The entire house looked like new when he was done. The concrete front steps and patio changed from their worn gray to a lighter pale color. The company sent a request for comments and an email receipt immediately. I am very pleased with the work and will use them in the future."
