Does energy consumption go up over the holidays? The answer will surprise you:  not significantly, according to Joelle Lamontagne at Fortis Alberta. She has some energy-saving tips, though, for the festive season.



 

Lamontagne adds, there's less risk of fire when you have LED lights on your indoor tree, and during the winter months, programming a timer on your vehicle's block heater will go a long way to saving energy.
