Electricity Consumption during Christmas
The Christmas season is well known for its beautiful and bright decorations. We can see how in some places, even in November, people decorate their homes. Electricity Consumption during Christmas
Many people wonder if electricity consumption increases during the holiday season due to these decorations. Everything depends on the electrical system of your country, for example in countries such as Spain the electricity consumption increases by 18% which translates into an increase in the total amount of the bills. According to Spanish sources, the consumption of daily light during Christmas in a home increases to 9.43 kWh.
Does electricity consumption increase in the US?
In the case of the United States, we can see in many neighborhoods how homes, trees, and gardens are decorated with Christmas lights, it also becomes common to see robotic waving Santas. Also, in the colder regions of the US, we can see snowmen decorated with different types of lights.
We can assume that, in effect, Christmas brings with it an increase in electricity consumption which causes monthly bills to suffer cost increases. In fact, some states in the country consume more electricity during Christmas than others throughout the year.
Average costs of Electricity Consumption during Christmas
A Christmas tree has a consumption of 450 watts for 7 hours of usage, a total of $ 17.01 for 45 days if you have a rate of $0.12 per kWh. The striking exterior lights consume 10,000 watts for 45 days for a total of $ 378 if your rate is $0.12 per Khw. These are some of the many examples we can obtain, as we can see, the usage of electricity increases during Christmas and that is why you receive slightly higher bills.
Although the consumption of electricity increases people do not change their traditions, who can resist the beauty of Christmas decorations? It is inevitable not to fill our homes with joy and color.
