Q & A – Custom Christmas Lighting Installation
Question:
DO YOU PROVIDE THE LIGHTS?
Answer:
YES…. Holiday Light Installers of Chicago provides all the lights, cords, decorations, and timers to make your display work…. Some people hire us to do all their lighting, others hire us just to do the roof and high areas and still prefer to do the shrubbery and ground work. Whichever you prefer is fine with us. Basically the customers’ job is to provide the input of what they want and the payment, we can take care of the rest!
Question:
IS IT EXPENSIVE?
Answer:
No, not when you consider the cost of buying the lights, cords, timers, and decorations, also lights and cords do not last forever and have to be replaced frequently, (especially broken bulbs and miniature light sets are made very poorly), with Holiday Light Installers of Chicago you may choose a different color or package every year and not have to worry about storage, replacement costs, and purchasing costs, we will do our best to keep you at the same cost each year for a similar display…

Question:
I DON’T WANT HOLES/STAPLES IN MY HOUSE?
Answer:
Most homes have soffitt on the edge of the house and roof lines, in probably 99% of new homes, there is a lip or edge on the bottom side on the soffit. We use clips that do not require staples or holes, they are sturdy and easily removed when the season is over.
Sometimes to hang wreaths or garland around an entry we may have to install a small hook.
Question:
IF ONE LIGHT BURNS OUT DO THEY ALL BURN OUT?
Answer:
No, we almost exclusively use “C-9” bulbs on all of our houses, that give a bright & brilliant look. They are not wired in series, so if one were to come out of the socket the others stay lit! And many of the miniatures that we use on shrubbery are also wired similarly and if one bulbs comes out of the socket the others stay lit.
Question:

Question:
BUT I ALREADY PURCHASED LIGHTS WITH “ANOTHER COMPANY” AND THEY INSTALL THEM AND STORE THEM EACH YEAR!
Answer:
If you are looking to get out of a situation with another light company, please call us to discuss. We can still work with you.
Question:
WHAT KIND OF LIGHTS DO YOU USE?
Answer:
On most all cases on the houses we use “C-9” bulbs, these are the best looking lights to put on homes. We also use lighted garlands and wreaths, plus many more products.
Question:
CAN I LEAVE THEM UP AFTER CHRISTMAS?
Answer:
Absolutely, you are welcome to have your lights until springtime. Most customers want their lights down early and off as soon as Christmas is over… If you have a specific request such as you want your lights down very early after Christmas or you want them up till the end of winter… tell us when we are writing your estimate and we will make a note on the top of your estimate.
