Back to topThere are many benefits to hiring an Outside Sockets Electrician, and we shall name but a few. The first EMC Electrical Group would have to say was safety. By reducing the risk of tripping over an extension lead or it not having the appropriate IP rating and causing electrical shocks or fires. Outside Sockets are designed to withstand the elements. Next is convenience. Being able to power your garden tools such as lawnmowers and strimmer’s and even items such as a pressure washer to wash your car at home or sprinklers to keep the grass looking lush and green. Lastly would be entertaining and aesthetics. Many more of us now use our outside space as an extension to our homes. So by hiring an Outside Sockets Electrician you too can power outdoor lighting, entertainment systems or even a water feature.
Back to topOur domestic Outside Sockets Electrician will be able to assess your location in Bristol but generally speaking they should not be placed near water so away from ponds, taps and any other water sources you may have. They also need to be kept out of reach of small children and animals. Whilst being in a safe location is important, they also need to be convenient and accessible for your needs.
Placing your Outside Sockets near to the main power supply will reduce the length of external cabling required and the risk of any drop in voltage. They should also be accessible for their intended tasks such as a garden party under your pergola or hedge trimming.
Back to topOutside Sockets differ to inside in that they are designed to withstand the weather conditions they are subjected to. They have a weatherproof outer case that is made from a durable and weather resistant plastic and a high IP rating. This will protect against the elements making them suitable for outdoor use.
Back to topOur Outside Sockets Electrician will keep your installation primarily protected from water, dust and debris caused by the weather. IP rated sockets are an indication as to how well the socket is protected against moisture and dust. An Outside socket will typically be rated as IP66 or higher. The higher the number, the better the protection offered. EMC Electrical Group will also use outside rated cables which will keep them protected from environmental factors as well as any physical damage being caused.
