Planning a Backyard Oasis? Don’t Forget Safe Outdoor Wiring

Here are a few key safety considerations to keep in mind for your backyard projects:

Pools and hot tubs need GFCI protection and proper grounding. Water and electricity can be a dangerous mix if not handled correctly. Ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) help prevent electrical shock by cutting power instantly if a fault is detected. Proper grounding ensures your pool or spa operates safely and meets code requirements.

Outdoor outlets and lighting must be weatherproof and up to code. Rain, sprinklers, and Kansas humidity mean your outdoor outlets and light fixtures face harsh conditions. Make sure all outlets have weatherproof covers, and all lighting is rated for outdoor use to prevent corrosion and electrical hazards.

Underground wiring should be buried at the correct depth and protected properly. Whether you’re running power to a backyard kitchen, gazebo, or new garden lights, underground cables must be installed deep enough and shielded to avoid accidental damage from digging or shifting soil.

From a simple outlet addition for your string lights to complete electrical wiring for pools, spas, or outdoor kitchens, professional installation is key to protecting your family and property.
