Adding Electrical Outlets for Holiday Lights

Avoid that tangled extension cord mess

We’ve all been there: stringing extension cord after extension cord to reach that one far-off tree or the perfect spot on the roof. But did you know that using too many extension cords can not only be a tripping hazard but also increase the risk of electrical shorts?

Adding a few strategically placed outlets can save you the hassle of dealing with extension cords altogether, and it’ll make your decorating process smoother and safer.

The benefits of adding extra outlets for the holidays

An electrical outlet replacement or installation is about more than just peace of mind. Let’s talk about the benefits:

• Flexibility in Decorating: With more outlets, you’ll have the freedom to get creative with your holiday decorations. When you have enough outlets, you can let your imagination run wild without worrying about how you’ll power it all.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: By adding more outlets, you can keep cords hidden and out of sight, allowing your decorations to shine without any distractions. Plus, fewer cords running across your yard or floor means less clutter and a cleaner, more polished look overall.
• Increased Safety: By reducing the number of extension cords and ensuring that your electrical system isn’t overloaded, you significantly decrease the risk of electrical threats.
• Long-term Investment: While adding outlets might seem like a holiday-specific upgrade, it’s actually a smart long-term investment in your property. Additional outlets are useful year-round – whether you’re setting up for a backyard barbecue in the summer or hosting a family reunion indoors.
