The power bill increases about $50.  When the display has many high powered devices operating like fog machines, the power bill can increase up to $100.  The reason why these increases are so low is because the display is animated.  If you watch any one individual light and ignore the rest of the display, you will see that light bulb is off more often than it is on.  Often, individual strands of lights are off over 90% of the time.        

Free electricity, anyone?  That's what I got in 2007.  In late September 2007, the house was upgraded from 100 amp to 200 amp service.  Because of this, the meter on the house was removed so a new meter could be installed.  ComEd (power company) was so backlogged, they didn't actually hook up the additional service until the second week of January.  (Yes, January!)   As a result, both my Christmas and Halloween displays were "free" because there was no meter on the house.   ComEd charged me what they believed was the regular monthly average for electricity based on their rate cards and the previous history of this residence -- meaning I paid a flat charge for electricity each month regardless of the usage.
