Outdoor GFCI Outlet and Switch Upgrade Done Right

Outdoor electrical takes a beating. Rain, heat, bugs, debris - it all adds up over time. And when a GFCI outlet starts showing heavy wear and corrosion like this one was, it's not just an eyesore. It's a safety issue.

Here's what we were working with - a worn-out GFCI outlet with visible debris packed into the receptacle, a darkened face, and a housing that had clearly seen better days. The kind of thing that looks like it just barely works, if it works at all. That's not acceptable for any outdoor setup, let alone one with active conduit runs.

We pulled it all out and started fresh. New Hubbell weatherproof box, a clean GFCI outlet, a matching switch, and a TayMac in-use cover to keep everything sealed up even when something's plugged in. The conduit runs got properly secured with new clamps and fittings - neat, tight, and done to code.

The difference between a quick patch job and doing it right is what you don't see after the work is done. No exposed connections. No gaps where water can find its way in. Just a solid, weatherproof setup that's going to hold up.

Outdoor outlets and switches are easy to ignore until something goes wrong. If yours are looking rough or you're not sure they're up to code, this is exactly the kind of work we do.
