Do you decorate for the holidays? Do you notice a big difference in your electric bill?
-
We do and never noticed a huge difference.
-
Yes we do an not really
-
We do, we really haven't noticed any big change in the bill.
-
We do but have not noticed a big difference in our bills.
-
I'm on a budget so mine is always the same year round. i always pay the difference in January when my year is up lol so i don't know if the extra is from the summer cooling or my December Christmas lights. Doesn't matter they are pretty and i really don't care :)
-
There isn't a huge difference. I don't put a ton of lights up and have them synced to music.
-
I used to when I had lights outside but I no longer have them outside so I don't have a higher electric bill.
-
We do, but the bill never really change that much.
-
My son and I do decorate but we try not to turn the lights on for long period of hours. So not much difference on the bill.
-
have had lights in the past and never noticed a difference
-
I don't decorate any more. When I did, our electric bill would take a huge jump. I have so many lights on my tree that we wouldn't need to turn the furnace up very high because of the heat generated.
-
This year is the first year I did not deck out the outside of my house! I am tired of the huge electric bill that comes with it. A tree with lights and lights wrapped around my lamp post is it for me this year! It's about Christ not about how sparkly your house is! :)
-
We do decorate every year, I put Christmas lights and colorful small bulb lights in front of our house. Its really cool to watch it at night.
-
We used to decorate a *lot* when we were younger and it did make a considerable difference in our electricity bill. As we've gotten older and less able to do all the decorating our decorating is more modest and there is now only a small blip on the electricity bill.
-
We still decorate but only light it for a few hours a night. We're expecting a spike in hydrop prices as it is, I don't need any more!
-
I think they increase your bill for Dec. whether you decorate or not!
-
We always decorate every year and I never notice too much of a difference in our electricity bill. But, this year will be the first year that we will not put up too much outside our house. The most we will do is wrap lights around our lamp post near the driveway and put a wreathe with lights on the door.
-
Some years. I read on a box of lights that it adds 30 bucks to your electric bill..to run them 4 hours a night for a month..so I don't run them all month just some of the time.
-
One time we had a lot of Christmas lights all over our house and yes we noticed a difference of our electric bill. That's why this year we tried to minimize our lights and turn them off by midnight. Except of course when its really close to christmas we let them on overnight.
-
Due to the cold winter weather, the electric bill is going to go up for sure.
-
I'm not decorating this year so the electric bill won't be any different.
-
I don't decorate anymore so by bill stays ok
