    Great idea, especially if you can get a few LFS to put a few fliers on the counter for you, that is as long as your not competing with any maint work they offer to perform :p
    In any case, it would beat pushing a mower around all summer like I did at your age :)

    I was also thinking of putting a few up on the Boards in the park and at the pool so people can see that i am offering fish tank services! ;D

    a lot of grocery stores have a board you can post stuff on as well, and if you have the little local penny saver that comes in the mail weekly they have a pet section you could advertise in, might cost you a few dollars to place a months worth of adds but 1 customer would pay for that.

    The other thing you might want to do is put up a free webpage for the service someplace, does not have to be fancy, just put your flyer on it , but it would let you put a 2 line text add in the classifieds that sent them to your flyer page.

    To sound more professional \I would say "Electronics Installation" and "Lighting Replacement" and "Scheduled Maintenance"
