Outdoor Electrical Safety: Protecting Your Vancouver Home

Vancouver's rainy climate poses unique challenges for outdoor electrical systems. Learn how to keep your outdoor wiring safe.

Outdoor Electrical Safety in the Lower Mainland

Vancouver's wet climate makes outdoor electrical safety especially important. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

GFCI Protection is Essential

All outdoor outlets must have GFCI protection. GFCIs detect electrical imbalances and cut power instantly, preventing shock.

Weatherproof Covers

Outdoor outlets need "in-use" covers that protect even when something is plugged in.

Holiday Lighting Tips

When decorating for holidays, use outdoor-rated extension cords and lights, don't overload circuits, and inspect for damage.
