Avoid leaving indoor and outdoor decorative lights on all day and night. Put your seasonal lights on a timer to enjoy in the evening and to lower your energy consumption. Not only will you save energy, automatic timers remove the hassle of plugging and unplugging your lights every night. They also make sure you never miss a night and forget to turn on the lights. Set lights to switch on at 7 pm during weekdays to avoid electricity peak hours and remember to turn off holiday lighting when you leave home for extended periods of time.
Candles can set a beautiful mood at holiday events and family gatherings. Get creative! Placing mirrors behind a group of candles or underneath a centerpiece reflects the light and creates a warm glow.
With these energy efficient tips, enjoy an eco-friendly holiday season that is merry and bright!
Updating outdoor holiday lighting to ENERGY STAR LEDs could save you over $50 per year for the average sized household!
