Tips from your FPL Energy Experts to Save this Holiday Season

Ready to get in the holiday spirit and level up your home’s decor while keeping your bill as low as possible? Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) is offering five valuable tips and free resources to help customers save this holiday season.  

Tips to Save All Holiday Season Long:  

  1. Deck the halls with LED string lights, which use 80% to 90% less energy and last 10x as long as incandescent lights. Consider adding solar-powered lighting to your holiday décor, which uses zero energy.   
  2. Plug your lights and inflatables into an outlet timer and program them to turn off automatically when you’re asleep. The fewer hours you run your decorations, the less energy you use.  
  3. If you opt for inflatables, consider a smart power strip to avoid phantom energy usage, which draws from decorations that appear off and can account for 5% - 10% of your energy usage.   
  4. Go energy free and supplement your holiday displays with ornaments, wreaths, ribbons and pathway decorations. 
  5. Consider firing up the grill. Cooking outside will keep your home cool, allowing your A/C to take a much-needed rest. When cooking indoors, always use the smallest appliance needed for the task.
