Why Proper Outdoor Sockets Matter
Outdoor electrics are exposed to moisture, temperature changes, and physical knocks. Using indoor extension leads outside (especially through windows/doors) can create hazards: trapped cables, water ingress, overloaded adaptors, or damaged insulation.
A properly installed moisture-resistant outdoor socket gives you safe, reliable Energy where you need it and helps protect your home’s electrical system. It also improves usability – meaning you’re more likely to keep exterior devices tidy, safe and ready to use.
Correct enclosure rating and sealed cable entry reduces risk from rain and damp conditions.
