In this post, we’re diving into point #17 of our 10-Point Electrical Safety Checklist (yes, we go beyond the basics!) — Exterior Outlets and Exterior Circuits Inspection.

Why Exterior Electrical Safety Matters

Outdoor electrical systems are exposed to Vancouver’s unpredictable weather — rain, moisture, and temperature changes can all take a toll. Without proper protection and maintenance, these elements can lead to:

  • Electrical shock hazards
  • Short circuits
  • GFCI failures
  • Water damage
  • Fire risks

Our expert electricians in Vancouver are trained to inspect and service exterior outlets and circuits to ensure they meet the highest safety and code standards in BC.

What We Inspect During an Exterior Outlet and Circuit Check

Our inspection covers every detail to make sure your outdoor electrical systems are both safe and efficient:

1. Weatherproof Covers

We check that all outlets have in-use bubble covers — designed to keep moisture out even while cords are plugged in. This small feature goes a long way in preventing costly damage and dangerous faults.

2. GFCI Protection

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are a must for outdoor outlets. Our licensed team tests and confirms each GFCI outlet is functioning correctly, instantly cutting power in case of an imbalance or water contact.

3. Wiring Integrity

We inspect wiring for wear, corrosion, or improper connections, ensuring all circuits are safe, grounded, and compliant with BC electrical standards.

4. Hot Tubs, Pools, and Saunas

If you have a hot tub, pool, or outdoor sauna, we take extra care. These areas require special wiring and grounding for your protection. Our Vancouver electricians inspect and verify everything to guarantee peace of mind while you relax.
