DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures safety and a polished appearance, especially for large or high displays.

Considering the pros and cons of hiring a professional holiday light installer can help you decide if it’s right for you. Here are some advantages and disadvantages:

Pros

• Saves time

• Reduces stress

• Produces for custom, high-quality designs

• Provides better-quality lights

• Reduces personal safety risks 

• May Include takedown and storage services

Cons

• High demand for installers

• Contractors may keep the lights and decorations

The cost of professional Christmas light installation is $430 on average, but it can range from $100 for basic projectors to $1,200 or more for an extensive holiday light installation. The overall price also depends on the size of your home and any other location where you’ll be adding lighting. For instance, a small, one-story home typically costs between $250 and $600 for light installation, but a 4,000-foot multi-story home costs significantly more, ranging from $500 to $1,800.

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit.
