Whether you are in the process of building a home, or if you already have one, outdoor electrical outlets are something to consider installing. They are incredibly useful, and with proper coverage are completely safe to have. If you are on the fence about whether or not they are really worth it consider the following benefits:

● Extension Cords - These are great when you need to use them, but they can be a pain to untangle, a hazard to the home, and a cost to replace. Plus, if you only have one outlet, you can only run so much power through it without risking an overload. On top of this, it is not good to stick too many cords together.

● Appliances - Some appliances like electric grills should be plugged directly into a wall socket to avoid overloading cords with too many amps.

● Christmas Lights - If you like to decorate the outside of your home with lights around Christmas time or any other time of the year for that matter, not having outside outlets can be a hassle.

If you are still on the fence about it, or you want more information about the costs or anything else related to general outlet safety be sure to contact us online or call today at (210) 899-2430.
