You really don’t want to climb onto a roof and end up in the hospital," Abagon added. Abagon said he's been in business for five years—three of them here in the islands. And he said he gets busier every year. Many of his clients are homeowners who either don’t have the time or don’t want to risk climbing onto their roofs themselves. "What we do is come to your property, show you pictures of what we can do, and you tell us what you want. Once you give us the go-ahead, we come out and install the lights." He said he handles everything from start to finish. Even the decorations are his, so you never have to step foot on a ladder or fuss with any ornaments. And he loves what he does. "To see them happy—that's probably the best part of this business," Abagon said. If you're hanging Christmas lights this year, Darren Pai from Hawaiian Electric Company shares some helpful safety tips to remember: Make sure to use LED lights, as they last longer and don't overheat. Don't overload outlets, and use surge protectors if necessary. "If you're setting up outdoors, make sure you're using lights and fixtures rated for outdoor use," Pai added. "And if you're hanging anything outdoors, please make sure to keep all of your fixtures at least 10 feet away from any overhead power lines."
