The Hidden Costs of Traditional Lights
Traditional holiday lighting isn't just inconvenient — it's expensive. Professional installation and removal in East Idaho typically runs $300–$1,000+ per year. That's money spent every single year, with nothing to show for it once January hits.
And that doesn't count the time. The average homeowner spends 6–10 hours per year on holiday lights — hanging, adjusting, troubleshooting, and taking down. That's a full workday, every year, on a ladder in Idaho's freezing winters.
Why Trimlight Wins
- One-time installation — never climb a ladder again
- Works for every holiday, not just Christmas
- App-controlled colors, patterns, and schedules
- Lifetime product warranty on all components
- 75% more energy-efficient than incandescent lights
- Pays for itself in 3–7 years
- Lasts 20–30 years with nightly use
