More and more of us have made the switch to LED Christmas lights this year.
LED Christmas lights use about 1/10th the electricity of your standard old incandescent bulb lights. On average, holiday lights are on for about 200 hours between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so the reduced electricity usage can really add up. $ $ $
Not only are the LED lights more durable (made of a harder plastic), they last longer too; about 10 times as long!
My favorite reason to use LED lights is that if one LED light does go out, the rest of the string still works! No more bending over the tree or standing up on a ladder out in the cold replacing each bulb trying to find the burnt-out one that has caused the whole string to go out.
For just a few dollars more at the check stand, LED Christmas lights use less energy, are more durable, and last longer, saving you money in the long run. Will you make the switch this year too?

Going green seems to be everywhere you look lately, and here at Regent Homes we do our best to build homes that are both affordable and energy efficient. Our homes are our biggest users of energy, so minimizing the amount of energy needed in the home is a great way to help the environment. We build our houses using sustainable and recycled materials where ever they are feasible, and the quality of our construction makes for a tightly sealed home which provides a continuous air barrier. Maintaining a continuous air barrier, free of gaps around doors and windows, helps to keep warm out our in summer and cold air out in winter. In addition, all our homes are built with efficient gas furnaces and programmable thermostats. Programmable thermostats are fantastic for controlling heating costs, by providing an easy way to turn down the heat during times when no one is home and while you are sleeping. It’s far easier to set the thermostat once than have to remember to go from room to room every day adjusting wall heating sources. Our homes also use low-e windows where ever possible. Low-e, or low emissivity, windows have a special coating which lowers the amount of heat (infrared radiation) that passes between the panes of a window. This coating allows visible light to pass through the window but stops much more of the heat from passing through than in a non-coated window. By integrating all of these technologies into our homes, we are able to construct homes that save both money and energy to help keep a little more green in your wallet and our world.
