The Big Question: Electricity
Since we still have the regular mini Christmas lights, our power bill last year ran around $675, up around $575 from our regular monthly bill. This is running the show every night for over 1 month, so not too bad, right?
Over the years, we've had our ups and downs with electricity due to our major expansions with the display. During Christmas 2015, we had to get a new, bigger transformer to handle the size of the display! When we had the Talquin Electric electricians over, they were amazed at how fast our electric dial was spinning!
Each year, we use thousands upon thousands of power cords all through the yard. As with organizing all of the lights, these power cords must be organized too. We make sure to keep them bundled by length and color for easy use each year.
However, this year with LED lights, our power bill should not be nearly as costly. It will be interesting to see what our power bill will be for Christmas 2019!
