Why Install Residential Outdoor Outlets?

Installing outdoor outlets offers several advantages that enhance the functionality and convenience of your outdoor spaces:

Power Outdoor Appliances: Outdoor outlets provide a reliable power source for a wide range of outdoor appliances, including landscape lighting, electric grills, lawn mowers, string lights, power tools, and more. With outdoor outlets, you can easily plug in and operate your outdoor equipment without the need for extension cords.
Entertainment and Leisure: Outdoor outlets allow you to set up and power entertainment systems, such as outdoor speakers, televisions, projectors, and audio systems. Enjoy outdoor gatherings, movie nights, or simply relax while listening to music or watching your favorite shows in your backyard.
Convenience and Flexibility: Outdoor outlets offer convenience and flexibility for various activities. You can charge your mobile devices, use laptops or tablets, or set up temporary workstations outdoors. Outdoor outlets also enable you to plug in decorative lighting, holiday decorations, or other devices as needed.
Safety and Weather Resistance: Outdoor outlets are designed to withstand outdoor conditions. They are equipped with weatherproof covers and are made of durable materials that provide protection against moisture, dust, and debris. Properly installed outdoor outlets comply with electrical safety codes, ensuring the safety of you, your family, and your home.

When you choose our residential outdoor outlet installation service, you can expect:

Site Assessment and Planning: Our experienced electricians will assess your outdoor space and discuss your specific power needs. We will recommend suitable locations for the outdoor outlets, taking into consideration accessibility, functionality, and aesthetics.
Professional Installation: Our skilled electricians will handle the complete installation process with precision and expertise.

We had an emergency electric issue with our dishwasher after a dishwasher repairman busted the electricity running to... it. Andy came to the rescue from Sims & Sons. You could tell he knew exactly what he was doing. Our circuit panel isn’t labeled and he figured out which breaker was for the dishwasher quickly and replaced it (plus labeled it). Then he realized there was a pinch in the wire which caused the problem. Our dishwasher is back up and running now.read more

Not only that but his crew installed it the same day and in just a few hours. I’ll be using Sims & Sons for all my electrical and plumbing needs from now on.read more

Andy and Slobo did the work and they were excellent. They communicated very well and checked often to make sure they were meeting our needs. They were very responsive and good problem-solvers throughout. We will definitely use Sims again!read more

Darrell was great! Came out to give an estimate for installing an EV charger in my garage.

Was available to start right away and did a fast, but very thorough and professional installation. Could not be happier with the service and quality. Will use again in the future!read more

We called Sims and Sons for a quote for some exterior security lighting on our condo building.

He gave us multiple quotes, for different levels of work, and was extremely helpful and communicative.When it came to the work itself, they were quick and efficient.Later that day, we noticed a small issue, and Darryl responded to my text immediately, and Mike came out the very next morning to remedy the issue.Would highly recommend!read more

I've hired Sims and Sons to do quite a few different jobs now. Ranging from the very small that I probably could have... handled myself, to the very large that I certainly could not, and they have been excellent every time.Most recently, Dylan came by to help put some new can lights in our loft, and I couldn't be happier. They worked tirelessly all day and by 5pm our home was transformed and made that much better.We are (hopefully) done with projects to do in our new home, but Sims and Sons will be the first I call for whatever it may be.read more

We had both plumbing and electrical done in our home with Sims & Sons. A few small electrical things were done easily... and promptly and our plumbing needs (3 new toilets, haul away, and a new full shower set) was done thoroughly. Charles, our main plumber, was incredible. Thoughtful and transparent, he talked us through the entire process anytime there was a decision to be made or something unexpected. We could sense he really cared about his work and was going to take the time to make sure it was done right.We are very happy with the results and would highly suggest Charles and staff for your home’s needs.Our only quibble: scheduling. It was TERRIBLY challenging to get the office to respond with our quote and to then schedule once we received the quote. Be vigilant and they will get back to you eventually. It took us a month from quote until service even though we know they had openings the week after our estimate. Hoping they can address the office issues in the future for easier customer service and acquisition.read more

I called them to come solve my numerous electrical issues at a high rise - the guys gave me a great quote and we... proceeded with work. Time frame was excellent and work was completed quickly. I had an electrical panel installed and numerous new circuits and lines pulled and fixed. The scope of the work ended up being much more involved than the original quote but owner honored the quote he gave me. I remodel homes and i was very satisfied with detailed explanation of each step and ability to figure out best plan of action together. The company follows current code requirements and also made all the upgrades with room to easily add more in the future. I know its hard to find qualified and reliable electricians that want do work in high rises because of all the extra steps needed dealing with the association but i was very satisfied with the quality of the job. The electrician even corrected 2 outlets that had issues in a different part of the house that were not in the original quote. I will definitely use them in the future and all my next projects that require a professional electrician services. Thank you !!!read more

Finally, a quality and reliable contractor! After disappointing experiences with random online services, I found Sims... and Sons. I’m so glad I did. The price for services was reasonable, and they exceeded my expectations on difficult request of removing a 26’ high ceiling fan that was incorrectly installed by an online service. I needed scaffold to reach. An entire team showed up, removed my door, moved my fridge, and worked so quickly but professionally. The whole crew was very personable, and kept the noise to a minimum as my infant twins slept, without me asking. They read the room. Swept the work site clean, and the work was quality. The only tough part is scheduling - they’re popular because they’re good!read more

Would highly recommend Sim & Sons Electric. We worked with Darrell and he was extremely professional and informative.... He came to do a quick electrical inspection in our home. What I thought was an issue ended up not being a problem and he didn't charge me and even refused when I tried to give him a tip. He was super genuine which is a such a breathe of fresh air. I will definitely be using Sims & Sons for future electrician and plumbing needs!read more

Sims and Sons did a wonderful job with the EV charger installation. They worked with me for several weeks to figure out... the best route for the conduit to run towards my parking spot.

They left the job site exceptionally clean and really understood the wiring and charging for electric cars.read more

Sims & Sons were the absolute best! We gave them the tough job of installing water and gas on our room from inside our... home. Ronnie and Charles showed up ready to tackle the job. It took most of the day to drill through 2 feet of roof to connect a water spigot and gas line.
