Tis the season for safety and savings! As families prepare to
celebrate the holidays by decking the halls, illuminating their
homes, and increasing the usage of appliances, ComEd wants to
remind customers they can light their season bright, while saving
energy and staying safe.
Here are a few tips to help you make sure your holiday season
stays merry and bright.
Don’t Leave Energy Home Alone
- Power down all decorative lights when
going to bed or leaving the house.
- Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines
for the number of light strands than can be safely connected
together.
Don’t be a Griswold
- Always be aware of all power lines when
decorating outdoors. Never work near overhead power lines or
anywhere there is a possibility of contacting an overhead power
line – either directly or indirectly – with a ladder or other piece
of equipment.
- Do not string lights on outdoor trees
that are growing near or into power lines.
- Ensure decorative lights used outside
are approved for outdoor use.
- Hang outdoor lights with insulated
staples or hooks instead of nails or tacks.
It’s a Wonderful Light!
- Consider using energy-efficient ENERGY
STAR certified decorative light strings, which use up to 75% less
energy than conventional incandescent lights strands and are cool
to the touch.
