Preparing Your Home’s Electrical System for the Holidays

September 30, 2025

The holiday season brings gatherings, decorations, and plenty of extra energy use. From festive lights to kitchen appliances running at full speed, your electrical system works harder than ever this time of year. To keep your celebrations safe and stress-free, it’s important to make sure your home’s electrical system is ready for the holidays.

Common Holiday Electrical Strains

• Holiday Lighting – Indoor and outdoor lights add beauty but can overload circuits if not managed properly.
• Kitchen Demands – Extra cooking and baking mean ovens, mixers, and small appliances may run simultaneously.
• Heating Systems – Space heaters and electric fireplaces increase overall energy consumption.
• Guests & Devices – More people means more phones, laptops, and entertainment systems plugged in at once.

Steps to Get Your Electrical System Holiday-Ready

• Schedule an Electrical Safety Inspection – Ensure your wiring, outlets, and panel can handle the extra load.
• Upgrade Outlets Where Needed – Adding more outlets or installing GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms improves safety.
• Consider a Panel Upgrade – If your home has frequent breaker trips, a modern panel may be the solution.
• Use LED Lighting – Holiday LEDs use less energy and reduce the risk of overheating.
• Add Dedicated Circuits – Large appliances or outdoor lighting displays benefit from dedicated circuits to prevent overload.
