Brighten the Holidays: Adding Outdoor Receptacles for Safe & Convenient Holiday Lighting

The holidays bring sparkle, warmth, and cheer to our homes. But if you’ve ever run extension cords through windows or overloaded indoor outlets to power your outdoor displays, you know it can be a hassle—and a safety concern.

Adding outdoor receptacles (outlets) is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to prepare your home for holiday decorating and beyond.

Why Add Outdoor Receptacles?

• Safety First – Avoid tripping hazards and fire risks from running cords through doors and windows.

• Convenience – Plug lights and decorations in where you need them, without long cords stretched across your yard.

• Weather Protection – Modern outdoor receptacles come with weatherproof covers and GFCI protection, keeping your family and your home safe.

• Year-Round Benefits – Once the holidays are over, you’ll appreciate having outdoor power for tools, landscaping equipment, or even summer parties.
