Reasons to Get a Professional Charlotte Christmas Light Installation

Hiring a professional to decorate your home for the holiday season may be the best present you could get yourself this year. Some of the main reasons to hire a professional include: 

• Save Time - For most people, it takes one to two days to complete their Christmas decorating. Who has the time for that? Hire a professional and you can spend those two days doing something for yourself or completing other holiday tasks. Not to mention, you won't have to go out into this cold weather. 
• Safety - The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that around 18,000 homeowners were treated in emergency rooms for holiday decorating falls over the last three years. The holiday season is meant to be spent around a dinner table or a Christmas tree, not in the ER. Plus, all of our installers are insured. 
• Avoid the Hassle - If you are like most, chances are your Christmas lights weren't stored properly last year, and they are now in a huge tangled pile. It could take hours getting them operational again, and you have to make sure all the bulbs are in working order. Avoid these headaches and hire a trained professional.
• Maintenance - Ever have a bulb go out on your Christmas display? If so, then you know how much of a pain it is to hunt down the burnt bulb and replace it. All of our services include maintenance, so if a bulb or anything else needs to be fixed, we will correct the problem promptly. 
• Take-Down - You don't want to be the house on the block that still has its Christmas lights up on Valentine's Day, but taking them down is a devilish chore. If you hire Irrigation and Lighting Specialist, we take down all of the lights and decorations and prepare them for storage. It is one less thing you have to worry about. 

"As one of the top Charlotte Christmas light installation teams, we are able to draw from more than 26 years of experience," said Minor.

Charlotte Christmas Light Installation: LED Lighting

If you've been inside a retail store lately, you know that the holiday season is well on its way. With Thanksgiving two weeks away and Christmas only six weeks away, it is only a matter of time before Santa makes his way down your chimney.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, now is a good time to start making plans for your Charlotte Christmas light installation. One of the first things you need to do is decide which type of holiday lighting to use.

"There are a lot of different designs, colors and types of holiday lighting," said John Minor of Irrigation and Lighting Specialist. "When considering which is best for you, don't pass up on LED lights. If you don't already use LED string lights, now is the time to jump on the bandwagon."

Reasons for Charlotte Christmas LED Light Installation 

LED lighting is the latest trend in Christmas lighting, and it is not hard to see why. They carry a lot of advantages over traditional lights and have quickly become a favorite choice of Charlotte homeowners. Here are a few reasons why you should consider LED lighting for your Charlotte Christmas light installation. 

• Energy Efficient - LED bulbs are up to 90 percent more efficient that traditional incandescent bulbs. By using 84 percent less energy, you won't have to spend a fortune on your power bill. 
• Affordability - In addition to the savings on your power bill, the price of LED lights are around the same as incandescent lights. Many also come with a rebate. 
• Longevity - LED string lights have a life of 35,000-50,000 hours, compared to only 2,000 hours for incandescent lights. In other words, LED lights will last 40 holiday season longer than traditional lights. 
• Safety - LED lights do not give off heat, which means you won't have to worry about them starting a fire. 
• Durability - In addition to their longevity, LED lights are also durable. The bulbs are made out of a thick epoxy casing that's nearly impossible to break. 
• No Burnt Bulbs - Instead of the filament used in traditional bulbs, LED lights use light-emtting diodes that don't burn out. So you don't have to spend your entire afternoon hunting one burnt bulb that made your entire string of lights useless. 

"We plan to install a lot of LED lights this year," said Minor. "If you don't already have them, don't worry. We provide you with all the necessary lights you need during our Charlotte Christmas light installation service."
