Time to fall back!

Planning to deck the halls soon? LED holiday lights use 88% less energy than incandescent holiday lights. The Depart. of Energy estimates that LED lights typically increase energy bills by about $5 to $7. With incandescent lights, energy bills typically increase by $33 or more.

Using a timer to control how long holiday lights are turned on is an easy way to manage energy use during the holiday season. #saveenergy

Do not toss lights into trees; you could get shocked/severely injured: safeelectricity.org/add-safety-hol… Also avoid decorating on windy days. Decorate safely! #SafeElectricity
