Is it safe to fix my own Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Yes, tackling blown fuses and broken light bulbs is definitely safe. Fixing the wiring on a strand of Christmas lights isn’t a good idea, though, because of the danger of shock and fire. However, if you don’t feel comfortable working with any type of electricity, consider hiring a professional Christmas light installer to manage the job safely and efficiently.</p></div>

Q: What safety concerns should I keep in mind when considering a holiday lighting project?

• <div><p>Ensure you have a safe environment for them to work on, and there aren&rsquo;t items such as logs, build-up of yard materials, missing or damaged shingles, and weak areas on the roof. Communicate any known electrical issues with contractors at the beginning of the project, and consider hiring an electrician to fix those. Finally, if you are attempting the project yourself, do so when there isn&rsquo;t any rain, and you can safely get your footing on the roof using proper equipment, such as an extension ladder. Don&rsquo;t attempt this alone, and have a helper nearby to assist.</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. When storing your lights, wrap them around cardboard so they don&rsquo;t get tangled. 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 lights do I need for a 7-foot tree?

• <div><p>Christmas trees need about 100 lights per foot, so you would need 700 lights for a 7-foot tree. </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>

Job well done. Walkways were cleared after the roof/gutters were cleaned. Worker was 1/2 hr late, which is the reason for the "B" on punctuality. We were happy to get an appointment during the holidays, since there was someone available when they were on college break.

Every time I came home the birds were in good shape and seemed to be in good spirits which I liked. I could call and ask them to do extra things with no problems. They charged $17 per visit and a little more on holidays. I would definitely recommend them to others.

"The project went well. Both were courteous, thoughtful, & committed to getting the job done well, & done completely within the day. They worked smart & worked fast. They were attentive to the details (like clean-up) & their time frame (including the recycling center hours of operation that impacted the drop-off time of the final trailer load.)"
