Maximize energy efficiency this holiday season with these 5 simple steps. The holiday season is a time for warmth, joy, and togetherness—but it can also be a time of higher energy costs. With a few adjustments, you can keep your home cozy and energy-efficient while saving money.
- Switch to LED Holiday Lights
LED lights use up to 75% less energy and last 25 times longer than traditional incandescent lights, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. - Seal Gaps and Cracks
Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal drafts around windows and doors. This simple step can save up to 20% on heating costs. - Use a Programmable Thermostat
Set your thermostat to lower temperatures when you’re asleep or away from home. The EPA’s ENERGY STAR program estimates savings of about $180 annually with a programmable thermostat. - Insulate Your Attic and Walls
Adding or upgrading insulation helps retain heat during cold months. Visit Energy.gov to read their insulation guide for recommendations on where and how to insulate. - Unplug Unused Electronics
Even when off, electronics can draw energy. Unplugging them or using power strips (and turning them off) can prevent this “phantom” energy use.

Projects completed in 2026 are no longer eligible for the federal 30 percent credit.
That said, many homeowners still benefit from local utility rebates, regional programs, and energy cost reductions from properly installed insulation.
