Tips to Save with Holiday Decorations This Holiday Season

Published by Point Loma Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Air

The holiday season is a beautiful time of year filled with food, gifts, and friends! All are wonderful, but they can be expensive! This is why homeowners should make some changes to their electricity. One of the more expensive bills tends to be the electric bill.

Holiday decorating is so much fun. It can be less expensive too with these few electrical changes to decorations.

Switch to LED Decoration Lights

LEDs are a popular option for homeowners because they are energy-efficient, burn bright, and last a long time! There are various LED decorative lights to choose from. For instance, homeowners can select strings of lights with LED bulbs. Not only will the lights work more efficiently, but they will also save money on their bills!

LED lights are energy-efficient compared to regular light bulbs. These lights only need a little bit of energy to brighten a home. Since it does not use as much electricity as standard lights, it is almost guaranteed that homeowners will reduce their bills. Homeowners can hire an electrical service technician to install LED decorative lights.

These lights are also considered eco-friendly because they last a long time! Unlike other types of light, these lights last longer, which means homeowners need to replace them less. Not only do they save money on their bills, but on Holiday decorations because they last!

Choose Battery Operated Decorations

One of the best ways to save money on holiday decorations is choosing and using battery-operated decorations. This is not possible for all decorations, but many are included. Batteries are inexpensive to buy and are also energy efficient. Instead of using power from a homeowner’s own home, the battery supplies the energy. This helps homeowners save money on their electric bills.

Some examples of battery-operated decorations include lights, inflatable figurines, and plushes. These are all great additions for a home during the holidays and, if battery operated, are energy efficient!

Batteries can be dangerous, though! It is important to practice electrical safety when using battery-operated decorations. Batteries should not be kept in warm areas as there is potential for them to overheat and explode.

Go Old-School and Burn Candles

Electrical services are not always needed, though! If homeowners want to save money for the season, they can use and invest in candles. Not only do candles smell wonderful, but they also provide sufficient light to see.

Candles also don’t use any energy and can burn for hours! Little light is needed during the day as the sun is out. However, candles can be unsafe and should never be left burning without someone supervising the flame.

I am very pleased with this company because they have great people working for them. [My technician] was organized and all were at the house in 2 days. Paper booties were worn. The electricians knew what they were doing and produce excellent work. I had 3 new circuits put in along with updating box. All this was done in one day. This co also sends a pix of technician who is coming to your house. Every person had lovely manners, and cleaned up, even vacuumed under stove when it was moved. A fine experience and I’d use them again.

I had a water leak at my house and its cause was extremely difficult to find. Our tech spent a long time carefully analyzing and testing all possible options until he found the cause of the leak, like really a true detective, that nobody else before him was able to find. He demonstrated not only that he is a truly top professional but the he also is kind, patient and understanding. He explained all the issues very well and was also mindful of my time and convenience. He works very fast, efficiently and reliably and is extremely nice human being.

Point Loma Electric and Plumbing did electrical work in our house once and we liked the service the first time so we called them again. The technicians have been nothing but friendly and professional both times. They walked us through every step of the process. They showed up on time and completed the work in a timely manner. If we had any concerns they made sure the address them, if anything was needed, they handled it. We will definitely use Point Loma Electric and Plumbing again. Johnny who oversaw the work is the best!! Thank you

Had an emergency water heater leak. Called Point Loma. Within the hour, James shows up and goes to work. And by the next day, we have a tankless water heater up and running. Thanks to James for the excellent customer attention, service and hard work!

Always great to work with them - years 2011 for new electrical panel, and 2025 for some minor upgrades. Erich and Leo corrected 3 problems with old wiring we were having. Very great team and very much appreciate their work.

My a/c has not been working for some time. I called Point Loma Electrical and they sent Nicholas Mullins to stop by and check it out. What a great guy. He was very respectful, honest, evaluated the situation and made recommendations that I felt were straight forward. This company is top notch and I would recommend them to any of my friends and family. This is now my go to ac repair company.

We had Point Loma Elec rewire our entire 62 year-old house's electric. They worked efficiently and were thorough letting us know what was discovered and done each day. Timely, neat, and responsive and affordable with great financing. Highly recommend.

This is a great team. I had to replace some fluorescent lights in the kitchen. I couldn't do it myself because the ballasts had to be replaced and that's above my skill level. Anthony and Matt came today and put in new led lights (with a 10 year warranty- fluorescent lights are ancient tech). Anthony and Matt were very professional and efficient. I would recommend them highly!
