Christmas is coming! As we’re decking the halls, electricity usage is up and we should be taking steps to ensure our holiday season is energy efficient, and SAFE. Here are our top 3 tips for your seasonal lighting: ... Check lighting every year for signs of wear and tear. Look for loose plugs, cracking plastic, broken bulbs, and fraying wires. When in doubt, it’s a hard pass. Don’t risk a fire for the sake of a favourite decoration, folks. Replace old string lights with new LED ones to use less electricity and reduce risk. Test your outdoor GFCI receptacles to ensure they’re in good working order. Hit test and the power on the outlet should turn OFF - hit reset to restore power. Don’t overload your power source. Extension cords have limits on how much wattage they can handle and if they overheat, it’s a serious danger. Check them regularly and if they feel hot, unplug them immediately.
Your heating system consumes the most energy in your home. As temperatures drop, now is the time to ensure your old dial thermostats are replaced with new energy efficient digital ones. The savings and comfort will be well worth it!
Ding dong - the weekend's calling! Have a good one, everyone!
