External lighting and power

PGS Electrical contractors understand the necessity of outside power and lighting we will always attempt to make a site visit to the property to ascertain the existing installation meets the requirements of the regulations.

Do outdoor lights need to be on their own circuit?

PGS Electrical contractors understand the necessity of outside power and lighting we will always attempt to make a site visit to the property to ascertain the existing installation meets the requirements of the regulations before we make alterations or additions to the electrical installation. Ideally, outdoor lights should be on a separate circuit – that way, if something goes wrong, they don't trip the indoor lighting too. They don't have to be on a separate circuit, but you must properly insulate the circuit to protect it from the weather.

“First time user of PGS services. Perry was quick to respond to a relatively small but tricky problem (a flickering downlight). I wasn't able to remove the unit through the ceiling hole and couldn't easily access it via our loft. He was efficient, effective and knowledgable. Fault was fixed the same day that I rang him, recommended.”

Bob Mace

“Called PGS to get a quote for electrical work in my garage. Perry was out the next day and turned round the quote really quickly. Job was done within a week, new plug sockets added, internal spotlights and LEDS, and outside lights.”

Paul Davison

“Had an EV charging point installed, the whole process was explained well and Perry really knows his stuff, now considering solar install. The guys installing on the day were professional and went through all the app set up and latest tech that allows seemless use of the wall box. Great business for any electrical work required, trustworthy and reliable.”
