Our Outdoor Electrical Installation Process

1. Site Check & Plan
   We find the best location, check the load, and confirm the height for accessibility.
2. Code + Permit Review
   We apply NEC 210.8(F) (outdoor GFCI) and 406.9(B)(1) (extra-duty in-use covers). We handle the permit if your town requires one.
3. Materials & Prep
   WR/TR receptacle, GFCI (device or breaker), extra-duty cover, weather-rated box, sealant. Conduit (PVC/EMT) as needed.
4. Install & Label
   We run cable or conduit, mount the box, set the device, add the cover, and label GFCI protection.
5. Test & Walk-Through
   We test with a receptacle tester, verify trip/reset, and show you how it works.
6. Cleanup & Photos
   We tidy up and can document for your HOA or property file.

What Impacts the Cost

We provide written estimates before starting.

Typical factors include:

• Distance from power source
• Wall type (brick, stucco, vinyl)
• New vs. existing circuit
• Trenching for detached areas
• Permit and inspection fees

   

Adding an outdoor electrical outlet post or a new circuit for high-load equipment, such as a pool pump or EV charger, can slightly change pricing. You’ll know everything up front.

When a New Circuit is Recommended

A new circuit may be needed if you’re powering:

• Hot tubs or pools
• Outdoor heaters or pumps
• Long-running EV trickle chargers
• Outdoor kitchens or heat pumps

   

We’ll guide you on whether a separate line is safer or more efficient for your setup.
