5 Electrical Things To Protect From The Rain
No one wants to admit it, but as the summer comes to an end and the fall looms, we are faced with new issues with our homes. Though we saw many spring rains, it is usually during the autumn that we see deluge after deluge. We need to be especially careful with any electrical wiring that we have exposed in new homes or renovations.
In fact, here is a short list of things you should protect from rain.
- Outdoor electrical outlets
- Extension cords
- Outdoor lamps or lights
- Any exposed electrical wiring
- Central air conditioners
Faults in your electrical system can lead to many issues, including blown breakers, damaged equipment, or fire. You want to make sure that all outdoor electrical elements are protected properly. It is best to do at least an annual audit to make sure everything is safe. You’d be surprised how much you will save by using a regular maintenance schedule.
