Georgia Power encourages customers to keep energy efficiency and holiday safety top of mind this season with the following tips:

• Light with LEDs. LED decorations can use more than 50 percent less energy than traditional incandescent decorations and last up to 10 times longer.
• Watch the Wires. Check each set of lights for frayed wires and cracked or broken sockets before use and look for certifications such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), which indicate testing for safety.
• Spread the Load. Don't overload wall sockets or extension cords and follow instructions for connecting light sets end to end. Where possible, utilize different outlets on separate circuits.
• Timing Counts. Use timers to ensure that holiday decorations are only in use when people are at home, or awake, to enjoy them.
• Keep Warm Safely. Never leave a space heater unattended and ensure they are a safe distance from curtains and other flammable material. Electric blankets should never be used while sleeping or be placed under other items.
• Look Out for Ladders. Use care when using ladders, especially outside near your home's power drop or power lines.

In addition to holiday tips, replacing air filters, replacing cracked or peeling caulk or weather stripping around doors and windows, and keeping thermostats steady around 68 degrees can help families stay cozy while saving energy too.
