FAQ's Holiday Lighting
We try to hide wires as best as possible under the ‘j’ channel with homes that have siding, various clips for brick homes and under the mulch in the beds. This also makes it a safer environment.
Basics installs on all homes a timer to each power source needed for lighting (depends on amount of lights and figures).  Your timers will automatically go on at 4:30pm and off at 12:00 unless you give other times you would like to have.
Plastic clips affix all lights on the house. If there are lights used on the roof peaks, or ridges other material might be used, but will not cause damage to the house.
We use a variety of clips to affix lights to gutters, roof shingles, siding and plants but they are not permanently affixed, and do tend to sometimes come loose.  Depending on wind, rain, snow or ice during the holiday season some years may be worse then others but we are as careful as we can be to make sure this happens as little as possible. One free call back is in included in all our Holiday packages.
In most cases its because when an individual light goes out on a set it will not complete the electrical current necessary to light an entire set. It could also be that the fuse that installed in modern day lights by the manufacturer has blown. Either way you need to look at the set and use the process of elimination technique.  The problem usually occurs in the first 10’ of where the lights went out. However sometimes it is easier to just replace the set.
