Leaving lights on during precipitation can cause the lights to short circuit and go out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Are there electrical requirements for my home?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;A: Yes, a large number of lights will require a dedicated circuit. NPFD will not be held responsible for inadequate, faulty, or overloaded electrical sources at the place of service. You may be required to provide an electrical connection from inside the house or hire an electrician to ensure minimal electrical requirements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: What if I have my own lights?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Most Christmas lights last a maximum of 2 to 3 years. NPFD uses brand new high grade, low-voltage lights that last 3-5 years on average. To ensure optimal performance of your lights throughout the holiday season &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;we will only install and guarantee lights owned by us&lt;/span&gt;. This alleviates issues such as strand burn out often encountered with pre-owned generic lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will you install “Icicle” style lights?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;A: No. While many people like the look of the icicle lights, NPFD will not install these lights due to their very poor performance. We do offer other decorative designs that will give the same warm, classic look the icicle lights provide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will you put up lights inside our home?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;A: No. We only provide exterior services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: What happens if our lights go out?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: First check the GFCI circuits on the timers and in your house and reset them if necessary. (These are usually located in garages and wet areas) This is the most common reason lights go out. If this does not resolve the situation call NPFD immediately and we will respond within 48 hours guaranteed. If the problem is determined to be your equipment there will be a $30.00 service charge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Where does NPFD get their square footage numbers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;A: To avoid any conflicts, NPFD determines a home’s square footage by checking with the county tax records.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;**If you add items (displays, blow molds, etc.) to NPFD’s final display and problems arise, a minimum service charge of $30.00 will be assessed to come out and fix them.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5603526915178220885-7918685770714387654?l=northpolefd.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://northpolefd.blogspot.com/feeds/7918685770714387654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5603526915178220885&amp;postID=7918685770714387654' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5603526915178220885/posts/default/7918685770714387654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5603526915178220885/posts/default/7918685770714387654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://northpolefd.blogspot.com/2008/10/faq-and-npfd-policies.html' title='FAQ and NPFD Policies'/><author><name>Kevin Daugherty</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767441017972908779</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603526915178220885.post-247743548767374517</id><published>2008-10-14T11:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T07:20:36.959-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pricing'/><title type='text'>Price Guide - Menu of Services</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Santa's Workshop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;1-story 2,000-2,500 sf basic install.

It's getting to be that time of year, and my schedule already has some appointments on it. Will this be the year &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; decide to let the professionals do your home decorating? Spend your time where it matters most - with your family, preparing for the holidays, shopping, etc and let NPFD take care of the rest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I hope you'll visit this site frequently because I am excited to post a lot of information about this Christmas Light Season. Last year was a tremendous success, as it was the first year that North Pole F. D. was in business. Because of my great clients last year, I have made improvements upon what NPFD can offer you this year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Be sure to let all of your friends and family know about North Pole Festive Decor. NPFD provides luxury Christmas Light installation in McKinney and surrounding Collin County cities. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aren't on my schedule yet&lt;/strong&gt;? No problem. Just e-mail me or call 469-667-8163. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5603526915178220885-4118057810535832840?l=northpolefd.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://northpolefd.blogspot.com/feeds/4118057810535832840/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5603526915178220885&amp;postID=4118057810535832840' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5603526915178220885/posts/default/4118057810535832840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5603526915178220885/posts/default/4118057810535832840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://northpolefd.blogspot.com/2008/09/welcome-to-north-pole-festive-decor.html' title='Welcome to North Pole Festive Decor!'/><author><name>Kevin Daugherty</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767441017972908779</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W67j3H2NhyA/SNqhzQq3BZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/c_AVRDB0QNg/s72-c/kev+hang+lights.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
