DIY vs. Professional Holiday Lighting: Why Going Pro Makes a Difference
Are you thinking about adding some festive holiday lighting to your home or business? If so, you may be tempted to try the DIY route and install the lighting yourself. However, most people quickly learn that installing holiday lighting, or any type of outdoor lighting, is best left to the professionals. The techniques and methods involved in creating a dazzling holiday lighting display require training and experience to master, which the average home or business owner does not possess. So instead of spending countless hours this month stressing out over hanging those DIY lights, let Decorating Elves in Tampa Bay set you up with a gorgeous holiday lighting display that will have the entire neighborhood green with envy. Our professional holiday lighting installation services provide a variety of benefits, including:
Aesthetics
When you try to DIY your holiday lighting, you might not give enough attention to the fine details. From concealing wiring to angling the fixtures properly, there’s a lot that goes into taking a holiday lighting display from just okay to just fabulous. Avoid being disappointed with a messy-looking display by going with the pros instead.
Safety
You can’t set up a holiday lighting display without running electrical wires and installing electric fixtures, which comes with certain risks. Improper installation can short out your entire display, affect the entire electric system of your home or business, or in a worst-case scenario, start a fire. Keep your property, family, and guests safe with professionally installed holiday lighting.
Versatility
When you work with a professional lighting contractor, that holiday display can morph into a year-round lighting setup with ease. With color-changing LED lighting, the pros can install a design that will work for any season, mood, or holiday, instead of a display that will need to be completely deconstructed each year. This gives the property owner the benefits of high-quality landscape lighting and a head start on any holiday designs.
Affordability
While the upfront cost of professional outdoor lighting might be more, the savings really come through as the years go by, especially if you use the lights year-round. Your light bill will be lower with the use of energy-efficient LEDs, which will last longer than DIY lighting options and also often come with warranty coverage for peace of mind for years to come.
Maintenance & Support
Most professional lighting contractors, including Decorating Elves in Tampa Bay, offer comprehensive maintenance and support for the lighting, wiring, fixtures, and controllers they provide. These plans can keep your lighting running smoothly, identify any issues early, and avoid costly repairs.
Less Stress
The holidays are already stressful enough, why add another project to deal with? With professional holiday lighting installation, you can rest easy knowing that your home or business is going to look amazing for the holiday season.
