Why Exterior Outlets and Circuits Matter for Your Home’s Safety

August 25, 2025/in Blog/by Marianne Bernardo

When it comes to keeping your home safe and functional, most people focus on the inside. But as the Top rated electricians in Vancouver, we know that what happens outside your home matters just as much. At Wicks Electric, our skilled and licensed electricians pay close attention to exterior outlets and exterior circuits—a detail that’s often overlooked, yet critical for safety and convenience.

What We Check During Our 20-Point Electrical Inspection

As part of our comprehensive inspection, we make sure that every exterior outlet and circuit is in proper working order. Here’s what our top-rated electricians in Vancouver look for:

Covers and Weatherproofing – Outdoor outlets are exposed to rain, wind, and snow. We inspect covers to ensure they are secure, weatherproof, and up to code. If your outlets don’t have in-use bubble covers, we’ll recommend adding them for year-round protection.
GFCI Function – Exterior outlets should always be GFCI-protected. This prevents electrical shock when outlets are exposed to moisture. Our reliable electricians test each outlet to confirm it trips and resets properly.
Hot Tubs, Pools, and Saunas – If your home has a hot tub, pool, or sauna, we make sure all exterior circuits and wiring are safe, secure, and able to handle the load. Nothing ruins relaxation faster than electrical issues—or worse, safety hazards.
Wiring Integrity – We carefully review exterior wiring for wear, damage, or unsafe connections. Any concerns are flagged right away with recommendations for repair or upgrade.

Why This Matters

Exterior outlets power some of the most important features of your home—holiday lights, landscaping, garden tools, outdoor kitchens, and more. Ensuring these circuits are safe protects not only your property but also your family.
