How can I save money on Christmas lights?

• <div><p>First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years—LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year’s Christmas during this year’s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan—if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.</p></div>

• <div><p>Costs range from $150 to $500, depending on the complexity and size of the display.</p></div>

Q: Can I install holiday lights myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures safety and a polished appearance, especially for large or high displays.</p></div>

Q: How do you make Christmas lights easy to hang next year?

• <div><p>Take a picture of your house to easily replicate the same design for next year and keep the clips and accessories.

Purchase a ladderless extension pole kit to hang your lights (around <b>$30 to $50</b>) for hard to reach areas.</p></div>

Q: How many string lights can be on one outlet?

• <div><p>How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It&rsquo;s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. </p></div>

Unfortunately this job ran into the Thanksgiving Holiday and it was inconvenient to have workers and heavy duty machinery while hosting 10 grandchildren and our adult children . The day after Thanksgiving workers showed up a little before 9:00 a.m. unannounced. They did a great job.

They are pretty reasonable. If they are going to be late or if it is a holiday, they always call us to let us know. They work on schedule and on time in the morning. They really do a good job and I trust them. We did not had any bad experience with them.
