Outdoor Electrical Power

Need a service electric contractor? Deep Electric can provide excellent electric and lighting service maintenance to meet your needs for swimming pools, pool pumps, pool lights, jacuzzi, hot tubs, electric controlled tubs and many more electric controlled items. Power holiday lighting, Christmas lighting, seasonal lighting fixtures and displays from permanent electric line circuits installed by a qualified electrician or electric serviceman, never from electric extension cords as power circuits. Avoid using electrical appliances outdoors when the ground or grass is wet unless the area has been rated for this particular use including swimming pool areas. Never run extension cords across lawns, walkways or driveways. If Electrical extension cords are to be used outdoors, only use extension cords listed for outdoor use.

Deep Electric can install electrical circuits and receptacle outlets in suitable locations that will help reduce the need for extension cords. An extension cord offers a convenient solution for delivering power right where it’s needed But the proper selection and use of extension cords are critical to avoiding injuries. Based on national experts, an estimated 3,300 residential fires originate in extension cords each year, killing and injuring about more than 300 people. In addition, about nearly 4,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms each year for non-fire related extension cord injuries, including fractures, lacerations, and electrical burns. Prevent potentially dangerous extension cord mistakes by following a few simple guidelines.

Remember that extension cords are intended to provide only a temporary solution and should not be used as a long term use or permanent source or power. Make sure that the cord is approved for its proper use. Do not exceed the wattage amount shown on the cord. Make sure that you use the proper cord for outdoor or indoor use. Try using the proper length of the cord by selecting a cord that is long enough to meet your needs. Avoid connecting extension cords together to extend their lengths.

Remember with Lighting and Electrical issues, we need you to “Stay connected.”
