PLUG IN SAFELY

Make sure that your electrical decor, such as lights or an inflatable Santa, is approved or certified and for outdoor use. It’s always best to plug electrical decorations into Gfci-protected outlets. The number of hazards outdoors increases and Gfci-protected outlets help to keep you safe when plugging in decorations.

If you don’t have GFCIS, you can use a portable one or hire a licensed electrical contracting business to install one permanently. Just remember to ask for the business’ ECRA/ESA licence number to ensure they do the work safely and legally. It should be on their website, trucks, quotes and business cards.
