FAQs 6

Is it safe to use electrical equipment outside?

When using electrical equipment or working near power lines outdoors, weather conditions and the presence of utility equipment present safety risks that are not typically found indoors. Therefore, it’s important to operate equipment properly and be aware of potential hazards around you.

How do I use a power tool outside?

Follow these guidelines before, during and after operating a power tool outdoors: Read the tool's instructions, especially all safety warnings, before use. Plug the cord into a three-prong outlet on a three-conductor circuit. This provides the added safety of the neutral-to-ground connection provided by the third wire.

Do outdoor electrical systems need to be inspected?

For example, pool lights and pumps need to be regularly inspected to ensure they are properly grounded and operating safely. At Thomas Edison Electric, we specialize in outdoor electrical safety and can help ensure your home’s outdoor electrical systems are up to code and safe to use.

How do you maintain a power tool?

Inspect the tool after each use, and keep it in good working order. Replace or repair worn or defective equipment immediately. Keep the tool clean and store it in a dry place. Never use a power tool around flammable liquids such as gasoline or solvents. Keep the work area clean of sawdust, shavings or anything else that could pose a fire hazard.

Are outdoor electrical systems more prone to wear and tear?

Outdoor electrical systems are more prone to wear and tear than indoor systems, which means they require regular inspections and maintenance. The combination of exposure to weather, temperature changes, and outdoor activities can cause significant strain on wiring, outlets, and fixtures.

How far away should a power line be from a tree?

Whether trimming trees, installing outdoor lighting, or working on a roof, you should always be mindful of the location of power lines and maintain a safe distance. The general rule of thumb is to keep at least 10 feet away from all overhead power lines when working outdoors.
