How to make the most out of your garden this summer

Stressless Electrics are your local, highly rated Warrington electricians offering all types of garden electrical services. From garden lighting to outdoor sockets, Stressless can make garden entertaining and chores easier and more enjoyable. All outdoor electrical work must be fitted within current electrical safety standards and building regulations. Outdoor electrics are exposed to much more wear and tear, to keep you protected and ensure they last, all wiring, sockets, lighting, and installation should be fitted with RCD (residual current device) protection. RCD protection limits the risk of electric shock and fires caused by power surges. A qualified electrician will always check your fuse-box before any additions or alterations to ensure it can cope with the additional pressure.  

Garden lighting

If you’re considering mains connected garden lighting it’s a good idea to consider exactly what you type of lighting you want and where it needs to be. Enhancing particular parts of your garden can be done in different ways using a range of lighting techniques, our electricians here at Stressless will listen to your requirements and design and install the right lighting system for your garden or outdoor space.  

• Downlighting & spotlighting: Looking to showcase a beloved tree or plant? Directing light right onto the plant will highlight all its wonderful colours and features.  
• Uplighting: Uplighting is lighting which is placed in the ground to light objects from the bottom to the top. These lights can often be adjusted to suit and can create some interesting shadows and effects. Choosing coloured bulbs also allow for more experiment!
• Pond lighting & pool lighting: If you’re lucky enough to have the space for a pond or pool, lighting is a must to enhance this. Water and electricity sounds like a scary combination, and it is if not installed correctly so make sure you always choose a highly rated, experienced electrician like Stressless Electrics here in Warrington.  
• Security lighting: installing security lighting to the front of your property will ensure its protected against burglars. To go a step further you may want to consider motion sensor lighting or smart security lighting which connects to a CCTV system.  

Garden power supply  

Adding power supply into your Warrington garden is a welcome addition. The addition of one or two outdoor sockets makes garden maintenance much easier and safer. Again, outdoor sockets should be fitted with RCD protection and within a protective case to protect them against the unpredictable British weather.  

Garden office, snugs & outbuildings

If you have a section of unused space in your garden, you might want to consider the addition of a garden room which can be used for various things like an office or snug. Garden offices have become increasingly popular post pandemic and allow homeowners to make use of dark and shaded areas of a garden that are often neglected. A garden office will need power supply and high-quality lighting to create a bright and comfortable space which allows you to focus and work efficiently.
