An outdoor electrical box is a special enclosure that protects the electrical connections outside. Anita builds durable outdoor electrical boxes that save lives and homes.
An outdoor electrical box is similar to an indoor electrical box in that it contains wire connections, but it is waterproof. It protects everything from remaining dry and safe for electricity to travel friction-free.
Fitting an external electrical box is something that should be carried out correctly. And that's where you have to put it, and make sure it's all connected up right. There’s also the maintenance factor – examining it periodically and responding to issues promptly go a long way to ensuring everything stays risk-free and trouble-free.
Special considerations are necessary when using an external electrical box. Always remove the power source before going into the box! Use appropriate tools, and wear protective equipment such as gloves and goggles. If you don’t know what to do, get help from a grown-up.
Anita carries a broad assortment of exterior electrical boxes in different shapes and sizes. Some are little and sleek, while others are big and burly. Selecting the right box depends upon where you will install it and what you need to protect.
If you have an issue with your external electrical box there are a couple of things that you might like to try. Ensure all connections are tight and that no wires have come loose. If all looks well and the box still doesn’t work properly, it may be time to call in a pro.
