Price below is a sales price. Lights will be maintained at no cost for 4500
hours days after install. A lighting technician will come out weekly and make
necessary repairs. Price includes removal of all existing lights and install of
new lights. After the warranty expires, there will be a $125 service call and a
charge of $45 for each set of lights replaced.
Power is the responsibility of the client. All outlets need to be in working
condition upon installation of the lights. Plants Professionals will notify client of
any power issues.
All trees, shrubs and palms should be trimmed prior to the installation of the
lights. Plant Professionals in not responsible for damage to lights and
extension cords by the lawn maintenance crew. Any damage will be
documented and billed accordingly. We suggest that you notify your
maintenance company of the placement of lights and extension cords.
Plant Professionals will supply all lights and extension cords.
All exterior outlets should have a working GFI circuit breaker with a bubble
cover. GFI circuit breakers are notoriously sensitive to water, be it rain or
irrigation. There is a reset button on every GFI, which should be reset prior to
a repair call. Please note that resetting a GFI breaker with a timer will not
result in the lights going on until the timer has activated. We suggest resetting
the irrigation timer to allow the irrigation to come on after the lights go off for
the night to prevent unnecessary GFI tripping. Repair crews DO NOT work in
the rain. Should alights out' call result in the resetting of a GFI, there will be a
service charge.
Plant Professionals will repair all lighting issues, unless specified otherwise in
the contract, within no more than a 72 hour window. However, we are usually
able to resolve the issue the same day if the office receives notification early.
Repair crews work late into the night, so we ask that you check your lights
before you call for a repair. The crew may have completed the repair late at
night. It is the client's responsibility to notify the office of any outages, the
crews will do a spot check if they are in the area, but we must be aware of a
problem in order to fix it.
All holiday lighting begins on October 1 st. Lights will be left off until the week
of Thanksgiving when a crew will plug in the lights and do any necessary

repairs at that time. Should you choose to plug in your lights prior, we will
attempt to repair lights, if repairs are needed, but can not guarantee any
repairs until after Thanksgiving. .
TO REPORT A LIGHTING ISSUE PLEASE EMAIL:
INFO@PLANTPROFESSIONALS.COM.
A representative will contact you with the repair information. Please provide as
much detail as possible in the email, including pictures if you have any.
