Borges Electric can install exterior receptacles in convenient locations around your home or business, including:
- Decks
- Patios
- Porches
- Pool areas
- Driveways
- Garages
- Outdoor kitchens
- Entertainment areas
- Landscaping areas
- Building exteriors

Outdoor receptacles require appropriate GFCI protection, weather-resistant equipment, covers, and installation methods based on their location.
Our electricians will evaluate the location and install the appropriate equipment for the application.
Running Power to a Detached Garage
A detached garage can require considerably more electrical capacity than a basic shed.
Borges Electric can install electrical power to detached garages for lighting, outlets, garage door openers, tools, equipment, refrigerators, freezers, EV chargers, heating equipment, and other electrical loads.
Depending on your needs, we can install a dedicated circuit or a complete electrical feeder and subpanel to provide multiple circuits within the garage.
We can also evaluate your home’s existing electrical service to determine whether there is sufficient capacity for the additional electrical load.
Electrical Power for Sheds & Outdoor Buildings
Adding electricity can make a shed or backyard building significantly more useful.
Borges Electric can run electrical power to:
- Storage sheds
- Workshops
- Pool houses
- Detached offices
- Backyard buildings
- Barns
- Gazebos
- Pavilions
- Detached recreational spaces
- Other accessory structures
Depending on how the building will be used, we can install lighting, switches, receptacles, dedicated equipment circuits, exterior outlets, and a subpanel when required.
For larger installations, we’ll evaluate the expected electrical demand and design the electrical supply around both your current and potential future needs.
Underground Electrical Wiring & Conduit
Running electricity to a detached structure or outdoor area often requires underground wiring between the main building and the new electrical location.
Borges Electric can provide the electrical portion of underground installations, including conduit, wiring, feeders, circuits, grounding and other required electrical components.
Proper planning is especially important for underground electrical work because adding capacity later can require additional excavation.
When appropriate, we can discuss future electrical needs before installation so the system isn’t designed only around what you need today.
Detached Garage & Shed Subpanel Installation
For detached structures requiring multiple electrical circuits, installing a subpanel may provide a more practical solution than running individual circuits from the main building.
A properly designed subpanel can provide separate circuits for:
- Interior lighting
- Exterior lighting
- General-purpose outlets
- Power tools
- Garage door openers
- Equipment
- Heating or cooling
- Refrigerators and freezers
- EV charging
- Outdoor receptacles
- Future electrical additions
Borges Electric can determine the appropriate electrical feeder and panel configuration based on the expected load and the capacity of your existing electrical system.
Deck & Patio Electrical Installation
Modern decks and patios have become extensions of the living space.
Borges Electric can install electrical power for outdoor entertainment and living areas, including:
- Outdoor receptacles
- Deck lighting
- Patio lighting
- Outdoor televisions
- Speakers and entertainment equipment
- Ceiling fans
- Outdoor kitchens
- Refrigerators
- Grills and specialty equipment
- Pergola lighting
- String-lighting power
- Landscape lighting
- Hot tubs and spas
We can strategically position electrical outlets and controls so power is available where you need it without relying on permanent extension cords.
Outdoor Kitchen Electrical
Outdoor kitchens can require several different electrical circuits depending on the appliances and equipment being installed.
Borges Electric can provide electrical connections for outdoor refrigerators, beverage coolers, lighting, receptacles, televisions, cooking equipment, and other approved outdoor appliances.
For new outdoor kitchens, we can coordinate electrical locations with your cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and overall patio design before construction is completed.
Pool Electrical Outlets, Equipment & Timers
Swimming pools require specialized electrical installations due to the combination of electricity and water.
Borges Electric provides electrical services for pool areas and pool equipment, including:
- Pool equipment circuits
- Pool pump power
- Pool timers
- Pool control equipment
- GFCI-protected receptacles
- Convenience outlets
- Pool-area lighting circuits
- Equipment disconnects
- Electrical troubleshooting
- Electrical upgrades for replacement pool equipment
Pool electrical installations have specific electrical and safety requirements. Our electricians can evaluate the equipment and installation location to determine the appropriate electrical setup for your project.
Pool Timers & Controls
Timers can make operating pool pumps and other compatible equipment much more convenient.
Borges Electric can install or replace electrical timers and controls for pool equipment, allowing equipment to operate according to a predetermined schedule when appropriate.
We can also troubleshoot existing pool timers, circuits, and electrical equipment that are no longer operating properly.
Outdoor Lighting Installation
Outdoor lighting can improve the appearance, usability, and security of your property.
Borges Electric installs a variety of exterior lighting, including:
- Deck lighting
- Patio lighting
- Landscape lighting
- Building-mounted fixtures
- Security lighting
- Motion-activated lights
- Walkway lighting
- Garage lighting
- Shed lighting
- Pergola and pavilion lighting
- Pool-area lighting
- Decorative exterior lighting
We can also install timers, photocells, switches, dimmers, and compatible smart controls to make your outdoor lighting easier to operate.
Power for Outdoor Entertainment Areas
Outdoor televisions, refrigerators, speakers, lighting, and other entertainment equipment all require convenient access to electrical power.
If you’re building a new patio, deck, pool area, or backyard entertainment space, Borges Electric can plan the electrical installation before construction is complete.
Planning electrical locations early allows outlets, lighting, controls, and equipment connections to be placed where they’ll be most useful while keeping the finished installation clean and organized.
Does Your Existing Electrical System Have Enough Capacity?
Larger outdoor electrical projects can add significant electrical demand to your property.
A detached garage with power tools, heating, air conditioning, and EV charging requires substantially more electrical capacity than a shed with one light and one outlet.
Before installing larger electrical loads, Borges Electric can evaluate your existing electrical service and panel to determine whether sufficient capacity is available.
If additional electrical capacity is required, we can discuss options such as a panel upgrade, electrical service upgrade, new feeder, or other appropriate electrical improvements.
Plan for Future Electrical Needs
If you’re already running underground electrical infrastructure to a detached garage, shed, pool house, or other structure, it’s worth considering what you may want to add in the future.
You may only need lights and outlets today but eventually want an EV charger, workshop equipment, heating, air conditioning, additional outdoor lighting, or other electrical equipment.
Borges Electric can discuss your current and future electrical needs before installation so you can make an informed decision about the electrical capacity provided to the structure.
