Don't Forget Electrical Outlets For Holiday and Landscape Lighting For Your New Custom Home

Don't Forget Electrical Outlets For Holiday and Landscape Lighting For Your New Custom Home

When building your new Central Florida Luxury Home, don't forget to ask the electrician to provide outlets on the exterior of your home for landscape and holiday lighting. 

Exterior lighting is often overlooked but very important. You've spent a lot of money building your home with all the special touches so accenting the outside of your beautiful home is vital. That special landscape grouping, waterfall, fountain, trim detail, pool area or expensive palm tree.

Even if you decide not to install landscape lighting while you're building your home, you'll need someplace to plug them in when you do. It's best to have your Builder's landscape lighting company preplan how the system will be laid out and installed.

While your at it, preplan for Christmas, Chanukah, Halloween or other special occasion lighting. GFI outlets may need to be installed in soffit overhangs on the two story section of your home. Something that will come in handy at holiday time.

Don't forget to surge protect the landscape lighting to avoid a nasty power surge that back flows into you homes electrical system if there is a lightning strike.
