Signs You Need This
- You're relying on extension cords because there's no outlet where you need one
- You're adding landscape lighting, a fountain, or other outdoor feature that needs power
- You're finishing a garage, workshop, or patio and need outlets planned in
- You need weatherproof, in-use covered outlets for an exterior space
What's Involved
Indoor outlet additions typically mean running a new circuit or tapping an existing one with capacity to spare, then cutting in the box and wiring it to code. Exterior outlets require weatherproof, in-use rated covers and, depending on location, GFCI protection.
For landscape features like fountains or path lighting, we can plan the run so wiring is protected and out of the way rather than exposed.
Exterior outlets need weatherproof, in-use rated covers by code — not just any outdoor-looking cover. We install the correct type for the location.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add an outlet without opening up a lot of drywall?
In many cases yes, depending on the wall construction and where the nearest circuit is. We assess this during the estimate.
Do exterior outlets need special protection?
Yes — GFCI protection and weatherproof, in-use rated covers are required for outdoor outlets.
Can you wire an outlet specifically for a water feature or fountain?
Yes, and we'll make sure it's GFCI-protected and rated appropriately for outdoor/wet-location use.
