Rainy Seasonal Electrical Safety Tips

When the rain starts pouring, your electrical system works harder than usual — and moisture can create dangerous situations fast. At E&A ELECTRIC LLC, we care about keeping your home and business safe during wet weather.

Here are a few quick safety reminders:

Inspect outdoor outlets — make sure they’re covered and properly sealed to prevent water entry.  

 Avoid using extension cords outdoors unless they’re weather-rated.  

Check your GFCI outlets — these should trip automatically when they detect moisture.  

 Keep electrical panels dry — never touch your breaker box if it’s wet or flooded.  

Don’t use wet appliances or cords — even slight dampness can cause shocks.  

If you notice flickering lights, tripping breakers, or power surges during storms, call our licensed electricians right away for a safety inspection.
