How to Conserve Energy and Save Money Through the Holidays

Holiday Energy Saving Tips

The holiday season is a joyful and beautiful time of the year in Maryland. But when you consider all the expenses that can quickly add up to your business, it can easily become stressful. You do not have to break the bank to enjoy these lovely times, though. Follow the below tips to help conserve energy and save money through the festivity months.

Decorate Your Business with LED Lights

The incandescent holiday lights that you have been decorating your building with for years are highly inefficient. Besides consuming more energy than other lighting alternatives, they also are not very durable. On top of that, when one bulb burns out, it usually means that half the strand doesn’t light up.

LED light strands, on the other hand, are brighter, eco-friendlier, safer and require less energy. LED bulbs last ten times longer than the old incandescent counterparts. Plus, to power a string of 100 incandescent mini lights, it takes 40 watts. While powering 70 wide LED lights takes less than five watts. Powering incandescent holiday lights can cost you up to 90 times more. So, make your numbers!
