"first time hired a ?pro? to fix soem outlets that were ?neutral open? and i can say this is the last time i?d use mister sparky. it started out fine, they said estimate was free, a guy named travis showed up, very nice, and professional. he asked me to sign permission to work in the house blah blah with a fee of $35 (or $55 sth like that) which would be waived with repair. he tried to diagnose the problem for almost 2 hrs, and came to conclusion that i needed 2 new outlets on a new circuit since the open neutral couldn?t be located. cool, but guess for how much? $1200! i asked for the copy of estimate and explained that since it?s over my allowance from the home warranty, i needed to get their approval. travis gave me estimate, added that i might need new panel, new surge protection soon which is $6000-7000, typical sale man but whatever. told him i wanna get the outlets fix first. then his whole attitude changed. he typed up sth in his ipad then told of now i owe $350?? i was like for what?? he was like ?it?s for the 2 hours i diagnosed your outlets?. huh??? ?and you signed for it? - he said. i would have never signed such a thing since home warranty didn?t even give me half of that amount for a diagnosis, so i read and listened to what he said at the beginning very carefully, the diagnosis fee was $35.95 or $54.95 max, there was 4 digits on what i signed, definitely no $350 and change, so i asked to see the document i signed; then he was like ?it?s gone i can?t pull it back put now? ??? i told him if i signed for it i will honor it but i need to see it also need the copy so i can send to my home warranty, if i don?t see what i signed for i won?t pay so show me. then he was like ?never mind then. it?s gone. i don?t have it? then he stomped out and said ?i worked for free today?. boy?? i said i?d pay if he had show me what i signed for; and dont his employer pay him hourly too?? so i called their customer service, to confirm if estimate is indeed free, which they confirmed, and i told them the story, the lady was like that was weird and said a branch manager was gonna call me. THEN that travis guy called me back right after! saying that oh it been bother me that couldn?t fix your problem l, what if i come back out tmr and fix everything for $350 (??) it was beyond sketchy at this point so i declined his offer. you thought you hired ?pro? then it?d be professional but this experience is worse than anyone i ever hired from craigslist. and $1200 to replace 2 regular walk outlets??? i had a brand new electric box installed with no prior wire or nothing for my new ceiling fan and that was for $245. replace 2 outlets with existing holes and wires for $1200?? nah. i?ll stick to craigslist or facebook from now on."

Landscape lighting has a higher price point than indoor lighting because it's built to withstand harsh weather conditions. These systems use durable materials like cast brass and water-resistant wiring to withstand temperature extremes, rain, and snow. Many landscape lighting systems also come with a lifetime warranty, which adds to the cost but provides lasting peace of mind.
Many homeowners find that LED landscape lights are worth the investment. LED landscape bulbs offer greater energy efficiency and lower long-term costs compared to incandescent bulbs and sodium lamps. They use between just six and 15 watts, offering long-term savings on energy bills and bulb replacements while producing ample illumination.
Outdoor lights don't use a lot of electricity when you select energy-efficient options. The energy usage depends on the type of fixtures and the system design. For example, many holiday lights consume about five watts per unit, but larger installations can increase total energy consumption. By carefully planning the number of fixtures and their placement, you can maintain efficiency while ensuring effective illumination.
The expected lifespan of landscape lights is determined by the quality of the materials and installation methods. Landscape lights offer a set lifespan where hardwired systems withstand conditions for 10 to 25 years, and battery-powered or solar-powered units last for five to 15 years. Proper maintenance and installation extend longevity while ensuring consistent illumination.
The time necessary for landscape lighting installation depends on the size and complexity of the project. Professional installers can complete installation for hardwired systems within one to two days, whereas battery-powered or solar-powered setups only take several hours. Hiring a qualified professional is the best way to ensure the project is done safely and efficiently.
