What is the Best Way to Run Power Outside?

Extension Cords AKA your short-term power supply

Well, if you are in need of an urgent outdoor power supply then using an extension cord would be good enough. So, you are pruning your lawn, or you wish to light your lad’s birthday party in the evening, a decent extension cord will do the job for you. You need to ensure that you take up those extension cords that can withstand moisture, extreme sunlight, and other weather conditions. If you think the indoor extension cord you purchased last week from the store will work for your outdoor power purposes as well then you are wrong. The indoor extension cords are not designed for such rugged usage and hence you need a professional outdoor extension cord.

Do not think over much and come to Mr. Electric of Dallas and we will help you choose the right on for yourself. 

Safety measures of your outdoor extension cord

• Firstly, pick the right cord for the job, as not all cords are standard. Check the wattage of connected devices and get your extension cord accordingly. 
• To prevent your family from any mishap, you need to connect the extension cord into a GFCI outlet. This outlet you can see in the garage, kitchen or bathroom.
• Your cord should neither be too long and nor too short. Select the size of the cord as per your requirement.
• After the use is over, unplug the cord and secure it indoors when not in use.

While getting the GFCI outlet, ensure that you get an outdoor rated, high-sensitivity and weatherproof GFCI model. The outlets must have spring loaded covers to protect them from pests etc.

Placing the Outlet
