PG&E Offers Ways to Save Money on Holiday Lighting and Avoid Safety Hazards
Holiday lights brighten the home, but they can also add costs to energy bills and represent a fire hazard if not properly handled. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) provides customers with safety and energy efficiency reminders to get into the holiday spirit.
“We are focused on helping our customers make the holidays bright, safe and efficient,” said Chris Zenner, PG&E’s Vice President of Residential Services & Digital Channels. “We hope all of our customers use this information to have a safe and happy holiday season.”
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), almost one third of home Christmas tree fires are caused by electrical problems. Although Christmas tree fires are not common, when they do occur, they are more likely to be serious.
For a fire-safe holiday season make sure the tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights. Also, purchase flame-retardant metallic or artificial trees. For real trees, make sure the tree has fresh, green needles that aren’t easily broken. And remember to keep live trees as moist as possible by giving them water daily.
Adding to possible safety risks, older, non-energy-efficient lighting can severely impact customers’ monthly energy bills. Standard incandescent holiday lights, including mini lights, use more energy and may require frequent bulb replacements. LED lights cost more to purchase but use much less energy and can produce bright light for up to 20 holiday seasons.
Based on PG&E testing, a string of 300 large incandescent lights cost an average of $135.08 to operate annually for 225 hours per year (5 hours/day for 45 days) at the current residential electric non-CARE rate, compared to $0.83 to annually operate a LED 300 count light strand during the same timeframe.
