🎄 Keep Spirits Bright—and Bills Light—This Holiday Season with KPUB

The holidays should warm your heart, not overheat your wallet. Between twinkling lights, endless baking, and a full house of guests, it’s easy for energy bills to climb higher than Santa’s sleigh. But with a few smart choices—and a little help from KPUB—you can keep your home merry, bright, and energy-efficient all season long.

Let us help you wrap up big savings this December with practical tips and local programs designed to take the stress out of your holiday energy use.

💡 LED the Way: Light Up the Holidays for Less

Still hanging on to those old, energy-guzzling incandescent lights? It’s time for a glow-up. LED holiday lights use up to 80% less electricity and last much longer—so you can keep your home festive without shocking your bill.

đŸȘ Oven Overload? Cook Smarter

Holiday meals bring everyone together—but all that cooking adds up. Keep your kitchen efficient with these small changes that make a big difference:

  • Bake multiple dishes at once to maximize oven use.
  • Avoid peeking! Every time you open the oven, the temperature drops by 25°.
  • Use the microwave or slow cooker when possible—they use far less energy.

Stop Drafts from Stealing Your Warmth

Cold air sneaking in through doors and windows? That’s not holiday magic—it’s lost energy. Seal gaps with weatherstripping or caulking, and close blinds at night to keep the warmth in.

Better yet, schedule a KPUB in-person energy audit for expert tips tailored to your home.

🎁 Upgrade Your Home with a Holiday Rebate

Give your home the gift of efficiency! Old HVAC systems and poor insulation are some of the biggest energy hogs during the winter months.

KPUB offers rebates to help you upgrade smart—saving you money now and all year long.
