The Christmas season is a joyous time of year filled with happiness and cheer. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season can also create stress and frustration. When it comes to decorating and lighting up either your home or business for the holiday’s, keep it about safety. Hire a professional Christmas Light Installer.
Did you know that 86% of Americans decorate their homes as part of a holiday celebration? Did you know that a high percentage of accidents and injuries during the months of November and December stem from decorating injuries?
This year, stay safe while getting out those decorations from storage. Be careful getting up on the ladder and be careful not to overextend your reach. Follow these below safety tips from Bright Services:
- Don’t overload electrical outlets.
- Use proper ladder safety when using either an extension ladder or step ladder.
- Do not place electrical cords or light strands across sidewalks or areas that could cause a tripping hazard.
- Make sure to water your live tree daily. A brittle and dry Christmas tree can be a fire hazard.
- Check for loose or damaged wires on all your light strands.
- When possible, purchase LED lighting. LED lighting uses considerably less power.
You can rely on a professional Christmas Light Installer – make sure they are insured and confirm their actual local experience.
