Garden Electrics – What Homeowners Should and Shouldn’t Do

Outside Sockets

As spring arrives, many homeowners start using their gardens again and begin thinking about outdoor power and lighting. 

Garden Electrics – What Homeowners Should and Shouldn’t Do

As a local electrician in Newton Abbot, we regularly receive enquiries about garden electrics from homeowners wanting safe and practical solutions. 

Garden Sockets in Kingsteignton

One of the most common issues we see in properties around Kingsteignton is the use of extension leads running from indoor sockets to power garden tools. While this may work short term, it is not designed for outdoor use and can become dangerous, especially in damp conditions. 

Homeowners looking for a domestic electrician in Exeter often ask about installing weatherproof outdoor sockets. These provide a safe, permanent solution for lawn mowers,  pressure washers, and garden equipment, and are protected against moisture and accidental damage. 

Garden Lighting in Kingsteignton

Garden lighting is another popular upgrade. In areas such as Teignmouth and Dawlish, outdoor lighting improves safety around paths and steps while also enhancing the appearance of the garden. Modern LED lighting keeps running costs low while providing reliable illumination. 

Garden Electrics 

Garden rooms, sheds, and workshops are becoming more common across Torquay and Paignton. Supplying these buildings correctly allows equipment to be used safely without relying on temporary power solutions. 

Outdoor electrics should always be professionally installed to ensure compliance with current  regulations.
