No Fuss Lights Means No Extra Power Outlets

One of the most frustrating things about making a major purchase is discovering that you need to buy something else in order to make it work properly. Like needing a specific adaptor for a new piece of stereo equipment, or a new set-top box or cable so you can actually watch programs on your television.

Unfortunately, there’s something similar that happens in the Christmas lights installation industry, and it involves extra AC outlets.

It’s not unheard of for a company to come to a home, charge a bunch of money to hang Christmas lights, and then tell the homeowners that they need additional outdoor plugs so that all of the holiday lights can be plugged in without overloading their electrical system. These new outlets sometimes cost $100 or more apiece, and there’s no guarantee that the homeowners will ever use them again except for holiday lighting. (There have also been a few horror stories about improperly-installed electrical outlets which have caused homeowners to deal with building code compliance issues later on.)

Does this sound like a shady practice to you? We at No Fuss Lights think so. Which is why we will NEVER ask you to purchase extra power outlets as part of our service.

Not only do we think this practice is abhorrent, but there simply isn’t any need for us to add any new plugs in order for our Christmas light displays to be fully illuminated. That’s because No Fuss Lights uses LED lights, which consume a fraction of the power that regular incandescent lights do. As a result, we can literally take dozens of strands of lights, connect them end-to-end, and plug the entire sequence into a single power outlet (as opposed to a maximum of four or five incandescent strands of lights).

So don’t get swindled by companies who insist that you buy extra electrical plugs. Let No Fuss Lights decorate your home with beautiful, energy-efficient LED lights and power them using your existing electrical outlets.

Already Own Too Many Christmas Lights? No Fuss Lights Wants to Buy Them From You

Ok, time for a quick lesson in behavioral economics.

There’s a concept known as the “sunk cost fallacy.” It describes the reluctance of consumers or companies to make prudent decisions because of the tendency to factor in the amount of money that has already been spent and cannot be recovered (known in economics as “sunk costs”).

For instance, you would be exhibiting this type of behavior if you chose to continue sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress simply because it’s only a couple years old – even if you are suffering from back problems caused by the mattress. Or you decide to attend that weekend outdoor festival because you already paid for the tickets – even though you know the weather will be rainy, windy, and cold, and you will probably have a miserable time.

Here’s another example: because you already have hundreds or even thousands of Christmas lights that you’ve already purchased (perhaps at a steep price from another Christmas light company) that are taking up space in your garage or attic, you convince yourself to bite the bullet and put up those lights again this season – instead of calling No Fuss Lights to install your holiday lights.

Well, guess what? We understand your dilemma. That’s why No Fuss Lights wants to take those old Christmas lights off your hands and buy them from you.

That’s right. If you choose No Fuss Lights to decorate your home this year, our designers will come to your house or business, look over your used Christmas lights, make you an offer for them, and then apply that amount as a discount off of your final invoice. Then No Fuss Lights will haul away your old lights and either donate them to a charity or dispose of them properly.

And here’s the best part: you don’t have to purchase new Christmas lights to replace the ones you are getting rid of. That’s because No Fuss Lights is a holiday lighting rental company – meaning that we don’t make you buy the lights, cords, outlets, or other equipment. In other words, No Fuss Lights will decorate your home beautifully, maintain those lights throughout the holiday season, and then return after Christmas to take down those lights and bring them back to our warehouse.

So don’t let the idea of already-purchased Christmas lights dissuade you from calling No Fuss Lights this year and letting us install your holiday lights. You won’t have to deal with the hassle of unpacking, testing, and hanging Christmas lights, which will free up valuable time (and a little extra storage space!) this holiday season.

Don’t wait! Call No Fuss Lights at (281) 809-7021 or fill out our contact form today. And say goodbye to those unwieldy Christmas lights – and hello to a gorgeously decorated home with “no fuss!”

No Fuss Lights Showcased in Houston Chronicle Article

Everyone at No Fuss Lights would like to thank all of our customers for helping us grow into one of the most successful Christmas lights providers in the city. And it appears that the entire Houston area is taking notice!

Earlier this month, No Fuss Lights was featured in an online article written by Craig Hlavaty in the Houston Chronicle, which you can read here. The piece focused on how much the company has grown over the last six years, and pointed out that the vast majority of referrals come from other satisfied customers. In addition, Hlavaty’s article notes that No Fuss Lights is the first Christmas lighting company to convert to 100% LED lights, which burn brighter while emitting less heat and using less energy.

Company owner John Emanuel was quoted in the Chronicle piece talking about the benefits of hiring No Fuss Lights during the holiday season:

“It’s all rental, we install it, offer a 24-hour service guarantee, and come back to remove the lights at the end of the holiday season,” he says. “Our job is to make your yard look like no other in Houston, while also accentuating the home that the lights are going on.”

After the article was posted on the newspaper’s website, No Fuss Lights received numerous inquiries from Houston-area homeowners who were hoping to engage the company’s services. We would like to thank them for their business as well – and remind everybody else that there’s still time to get their orders in.

For a free, on-site estimate, you can contact No Fuss Lights directly at 281.809.7021. Let No Fuss Lights turn your home into a holiday wonderland!

No Fuss Lights and your Electrical Structure

You’ve undoubtedly seen some of those majestically bright but colossally complex Christmas light displays. Maybe some of them are even in your own neighborhood. Perhaps there’s a part of you who yearns to show off your home in a similar manner throughout the holiday season. But then you think Yeah, but imagine the electricity bill I’d have to pay – plus, it would probably overload my electrical system.

Well, think again.

If you want a Christmas light display that all of your friends, neighbors, and even passersby will be amazed by, No Fuss Lights is the Holiday Lighting Company to call. Their experienced designers can help you create a yuletide scene that is as big as your imagination.

And here’s the best part: you won’t need to make major changes to your electricity infrastructure! That’s right – no need to put in additional outlets, install new breakers, or buy intricate Christmas light timer systems. Plus, you won’t be shelling out buckets of cash to pay for your utility bills.

Why? First of all, No Fuss Lights utilizes LED technology, which requires a fraction of the power needed to illuminate incandescent lights. That’s why LED lights are not only more energy-efficient, but also safer because they don’t emit nearly as much heat as their incandescent counterparts. No Fuss Lights offers the highest quality LED bulbs available on the market today.

No Fuss Lights offers an exclusive LED product line comprised of materials that are guaranteed to outperform any incandescent bulb on the market.

Before you protest by saying, “But LEDs look green or have a bluish tint,” we promise you that ours don’t. We are so confident in our commercial-grade LED white C9 bulbs that we offer a free change-out program to customers who don’t agree. That’s right – if you are unhappy with the look of our LED products, then we will return to your home and replace them with the old-style incandescent bulbs at no cost!

Again, No Fuss Lights will never ask you to purchase extra breaker boxes, or other fancy add-ons that other installers may sneak into your package. No Fuss Lights can power holiday light displays of any size easily and reliably using LED light sets – without tripping your breakers or posing a fire hazard to your property. Plus, if an incandescent Christmas light bulb is hot to the touch and can even burn skin, why would you want to line the roof of your home with something so potentially dangerous? Remember, LED C9 bulbs require 90% less electricity – and stay cool to the touch!

So why not give No Fuss Lights a call today at 281-809-7021, or visit them online at NoFussLights.com? Maybe this can be the year where everybody talks about your Christmas light installation.

No Fuss “More Than Just” Lights

If you’re pondering the idea of professionally-installed outdoor lights for your Christmas display this year, you might question the value of a company that only provides lights. But you would be incorrect to assume that No Fuss Lights is nothing more than a company who hangs Christmas lights.

In reality, No Fuss Lights is more than just a basic holiday illumination company. We also provide:

Installation – so you don’t have to get up on the ladder to hang the lights yourself
Removal – so your lights don’t stay up til Memorial Day
Wreaths – for your front door or windows
Bows – for lampposts, doors, and columns
Garlands – for trees, bushes, and balconies
Lawn ornaments – to add a unique touch to your holiday display
Mini-trees – that can be erected in yards or flowerbeds
Timers – to turn your lights on and off at certain times, or to allow them to flicker and twinkle continuously
LED bulbs – which use a fraction of the electricity that incandescent bulbs do
Storage – so you don’t have to find room in your home to store all of these items for ten or eleven months

So you see, No Fuss Lights provides so much more than our name implies. Unfortunately, we determined that it would be cumbersome to name our company NoFussLightsInstallationRemovalWreathsBowsGarlandsLawnornamentsMiniTreesTimersLEDBulbsStorage

To find out how No Fuss Lights can simplify your holiday season while creating a holiday display that will turn heads and light up the neighborhood, call us at 281-809-7021 today. Or drop us an email at Sales@NoFussLights.com.

The Price of a Fall in Winter

Even though you’ve seen advertisements for No Fuss Lights, maybe you’re thinking that this service is not for you. After all, why pay good money for professionals to do a job that you can complete yourself?

Let’s take a closer look at that logic – especially when it comes to what can go wrong.

Say you’re up on a ladder, wearing a coat or jacket (and maybe gloves) and trying to string up your Christmas lights. Since you only do this once a year, it’s taking a while to get everything done. And maybe…

a gust of wind knocks you off balance, or
the ladder isn’t on a completely flat surface, or
you lean just a little too far to fasten that last bulb on a light strand, or
the horizontal spreaders on your stepladder aren’t completely horizontal and start to fold in, or
your extension ladder is positioned just a little too steeply

… and you fall off the ladder and onto the ground below.

This isn’t some hypothetical, it-can’t-happen-to-me scenario. According to the World Health Organization, roughly 164,000 people a year make a trip to an emergency due to a ladder fall. Many of them suffer severe abrasions, broken bones, or concussions – and about 300 of them die from their injuries each year.

Even if you have health insurance, the costs of the ER visit will take a pretty big chunk out of your holiday budget. Plus, you may have to spend part of the Christmas season in bed, with a cast, or on crutches. Happy holidays!

Not only will No Fuss Lights create a festive holiday lighting display at your home, but by keeping you off of a ladder, you (and your family) will have peace of mind knowing that you won’t be spending time and money on a holiday ER visit.

How No Fuss Lights Prices Your Christmas Light Display Installation

We understand how busy the holiday season can be for our clients. Our full service Christmas light and decoration rental program makes seasonal decorating truly no Fuss for our clients.

After years of talking to our customers about their past Christmas Light experiences, we have found that the majority of our clients wasted valuable time either digging out old damaged decorations or testing lights so that the “Installer” could hang their lights. Many of our customers risked life and limb to do it themselves, thus wasting an entire weekend and possibly making frequent trips to fight holiday crowds at Home Depot.

These scenarios are typical of our customers’ past experiences with so-called “professional” installers:

After purchasing commercial lights provided by the installer, their displays were never installed correctly. (some were even circuit breakers, extra outlets, and fancy timer systems that never worked right!)
The installer stored the lights for the customer and went out of business – and is nowhere to be found!
The installer did a great job hanging the lights… but never came and took them down.

By joining the NoFussLights.com decorating rental program, you never have to purchase Christmas lights again. You’re guaranteed to never have to fix a broken bulb, replace a faded bow or wreath, or even set foot on a ladder. No Fuss Lights brings our materials to your home each year, and guarantees that your display will continue working year after year (while offering discounts for renewing years!).

In addition, our program does not require a long term commitment. NoFussLights.com is so confident that we will earn your returning business by providing such a high quality display that there is no need for a long term commitment. We offer all customers a written quote in year 1 that not only outlines the details of the lighting display, but also provides you with a quote for reinstalling the same display in future years at a renewal discount.

NoFussLights.com cares about your display and wants to provide assurances that you get what you pay for. That’s why we structure our rental program in a manner that is beneficial to our customers. Our customers receive a free display design and budget consultation; and once we put together a design that fits your needs, we require a 75% deposit to book your install date. The other 25% of the balance is due after the removal your display. We have found that clients like the fact that the remaining balance holds NoFussLights.com accountable for the quality of the install, and ensures that we will come and remove the lights in a timely and professional manner.

But you may be wondering: how does NoFussLights.com price its installation projects?

An experienced No Fuss Lights designer works with you to determine your holiday lighting and decorating needs, and helps you determine a reasonable budget for your display. We work with all the latest trends and commercial quality materials, and provide our clients with pricing calculated on a rate per linear foot of lights for your property. We can either have a designer meet you at your home to measure and provide you with a design, or we can provide you with a rough estimate based on pictures that you can email to No Fuss Lights at Sales@nofusslights.com.

It’s our goal to provide the best displays available at a reasonable price. We offer several different pricing discounts that will help you when creating your display budget-

If you choose to have your lights put up before the holiday season arrives, you can qualify for an early install discount. We can install all non-intrusive decorations in early to mid November, and then return after Thanksgiving to hang wreathes, bows, and other items.
If you refer another customer to No Fuss Lights, we will also give you a referral discount on your installation as well.
And every time you renew your lighting display for the following holiday season, you will receive a 15% discount off of your original installation rate. This loyalty discount remains in effect even if you move to another home during the calendar year.*

There may be other discounts for which you may be eligible, so call No Fuss Lights at 281-809-7021 to find out more information!

*-The loyalty discount would be calculated on a linear-foot basis at the new location.

No Fuss Lights – Your Christmas Lighting Specialists

It’s already been a December to remember at No Fuss Lights, and we haven’t even gotten to Christmas yet! Our designers and installers have been crisscrossing the Houston area hanging holiday lights, decorating doors and fences, and making sure that we don’t rest until every home we visit looks bright, cheery, and spectacular!

In fact, it’s becoming readily apparent that we at No Fuss Lights have underestimated our popularity.

The demand for our services in 2015 has been unparalleled in the history of our company. Phone calls and online requests for quotes are coming in to our office as fast as we can respond to them.

Because No Fuss Lights is a small business, we sometimes don’t have the manpower to simultaneously speak with customers, provide on-site cost estimates, and install holiday lights at homes as quickly as we would like. So if you have contacted No Fuss Lights this holiday season, we humbly ask for your patience if we do not respond to your inquiry immediately. Please rest assured that No Fuss Lights is doing everything possible to serve all of our current and potential customers during this busy time of year.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire Houston-area community for their strong support and patronage throughout 2015. And we wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a joyous and blessed holiday season.
