It's Not Too Soon to Spread Some Cheer With a Head Start on Holiday Decorating

Get an Early Start to Hanging Holiday Lights

One of the best times of the year is fast approaching. While many may argue that the Christmas holidays are too far away to start decorating, it's never too early for a true lover of the holiday season to embrace all the festivities - from finalizing gift lists and holiday shopping to dusting off the holiday decor and lights. 

For homeowners who can’t wait to infuse the neighborhood with cheer and delight, it’s a good idea to begin early so they get enough time to prepare and make thoughtful decisions on the kind of holiday decor they want to present. Here are a few places where they could start:

Choosing Between Incandescent and LED Lights

Many homeowners probably already have a set of holiday lights they used the previous year. While it may be cost-effective to simply reuse what one already has, it’s a good idea to consider LED holiday lights if the ones they have are incandescent lights, as LEDs are more energy efficient and last longer, saving homeowners money. 

LED Christmas lights may cost more to purchase compared to their incandescent counterparts, but they last much longer without needing replacement and use much less energy, so they can help homeowners save in the long run. LED lights also come in a wide variety of colors and styles, so homeowners can find ones that fit with their holiday decorations. 

Types of Outdoor Holiday Lights and Decor

There are many different styles of holiday lights homeowners can choose from to create a festive outdoor holiday display. Lighting strands, for example, are best used along roof lines and balconies, giving homes defined edges that pop and stand out. On the other hand, net lighting is perfect for quickly adding holiday lighting to bushes, hedges, and other foliage. 

There are also Christmas lights in a grid, similar to net lighting, that is made to wrap around tree trunks. Holiday inflatables can also be used in the front yard to complete the holiday display and come in many different styles, like snow globes and snowmen. These are fun and can be lit for drama and flair with well-placed spotlights.

Putting Electrical Safety First

Homeowners eager to start decorating should always keep electrical safety at the top of their minds. There have been many ruined holidays due to homeowners disregarding electrical safety measures. One easy way to make sure holiday displays are done safely and with the electrical system in mind is to hire an electrical company that offers holiday lighting services. 

Consider the following safety practices when installing outdoor Christmas lights and displays:

• Check lights and decor for damage: Don't use holiday lights and decor with loose connections, frayed wires, and broken bulbs.
• Don’t overload outlets and circuits: The lights and decor using electricity should be spread across multiple circuits to prevent overloading, and there should be no more than three sets of incandescent lights strung together, as more may overload the circuit.
• Get the right kind of lights: Only use lights outside that are made for outdoor use and can handle the outdoor elements and weather.
