Smart ControlOC's coastal humidity and year-round outdoor use demands proper weatherproofing, GFCI protection, and correct conduit. Outdoor electrical done wrong corrodes within a year. We build outdoor electrical systems that handle OC's environment for decades.
"ASL wired our entire outdoor kitchen — outlets, under-counter lighting, outdoor TV, and the ceiling fan. Everything is hidden inside the structure. Looks like it was always there."

We run all wiring inside walls, through pergola posts, under decking, and in buried conduit — not surface-mounted on stucco or exposed on your barbecue island. Outdoor electrical should be invisible except where you actually use it.
Every outdoor outlet, junction box, and connection point is weatherproof-rated for the exposure level at that location. In-use covers on all outlets. Wet-location fixtures where exposed to direct weather. Nothing that will corrode within a season.
All outdoor circuits include GFCI protection — required by code and essential in an environment where water and electricity are in close proximity year-round. We don't skip GFCI protection to save cost.
Outdoor kitchen and pergola electrical works best during the build phase — before stonework and roofing. We coordinate with your landscape or construction contractor and run wiring during the rough phase for the cleanest result.
New outdoor circuits and significant installations require permits. We pull them, handle inspections, and provide documentation — so your outdoor electrical is covered by your homeowner's insurance and won't cause issues at resale.
No upsells, no surprise add-ons. Every outdoor living electrical project from ASL Electric includes everything below as part of the flat-rate price quoted upfront.
We walk your outdoor space, assess wiring routes and exposure levels, and give you a firm flat-rate price for the full scope.

Real questions OC homeowners ask about outdoor living and entertainment electrical.
A well-powered outdoor kitchen typically needs: dedicated circuits for a built-in refrigerator and ice maker, a circuit for the entertainment system, GFCI outlets throughout for blenders and small appliances, under-counter and task lighting, and a dedicated circuit for an outdoor heater if you have a covered space. We design the circuit layout around your specific appliance and equipment plan.
We run TV power and AV wiring through the wall or through the structure your TV is mounted on — inside a pergola post, through a stucco wall, or into the eave above. The result is a clean installation with a single weatherproof outlet behind the TV and conduit inside the structure for AV cables. No cord covers or surface raceways.
Yes — if your pergola posts are hollow or have an accessible channel, we run wiring inside them before any decorative work is completed. For finished pergolas, we use a combination of surface conduit inside the pergola roof structure (where it's concealed) and through-post wiring where accessible. We assess the best route during the estimate walkthrough.
Yes. California code requires GFCI protection on all outdoor outlets and any outlet within 20 feet of a pool or water feature. In an outdoor kitchen environment — with sinks, ice makers, and exposure to rain — GFCI protection is essential. We install GFCI on every outdoor kitchen circuit without exception.
Outdoor outlets need to be GFCI-protected and installed in weatherproof in-use covers — covers that protect the outlet even when a cord is plugged in. For coastal OC locations, we use commercial-grade weatherproof boxes with stainless hardware that resists salt air corrosion. All our outdoor outlets meet NEC 406 weatherproof outlet requirements.
Yes. Most ceiling-mounted outdoor infrared heaters require a dedicated 240V circuit — typically 20–30 amps depending on the heater size. We run the circuit from your panel to the heater location, install the weatherproof junction, and wire a wall switch at a convenient indoor or patio location. Great for OC winter evenings on covered patios.
Ideally before the roof structure is finished and before any stone or stucco cladding is applied. This allows us to run wiring inside the structure cleanly before it's enclosed. If your build is already done, we can still run wiring — but concealment options are more limited. If you're in the planning phase, call us before your contractor starts so we can coordinate the electrical rough-in.
New outdoor circuits — for outdoor kitchens, entertainment systems, and heaters — require permits in most OC cities. Simple fixture swaps and additions to existing circuits may not. We tell you upfront what needs a permit and handle the entire process. Permitted outdoor electrical protects you at home sale and ensures your insurance covers any future electrical claim.
