Outdoor electrical systems face unique challenges that indoor wiring never encounters. Rain, humidity, salt air, and even pests can corrode wiring, cause shorts, and create serious fire or shock hazards. Many homeowners experience issues like tripping breakers during storms, rusted outlets on patios, or garden lighting that flickers after heavy rain.
