Electrical Disconnects and Safety Switches for Easy Maintenance
If you have a pool, hot tub, or outdoor heating or cooling unit, an electrical disconnect is an important safety measure. Electrical disconnects are designed to let you easily shut off power to outdoor appliances in the event of emergencies, such as electrical fires and equipment malfunctions, or if you need to perform maintenance on a device.
Disconnect switches are generally housed in weatherproof boxes that connect to the outside of your house. It’s important to have the safety switch easily accessible and close to the outdoor electrical equipment so you can quickly shut off power if needed. Choose from fused disconnects and nonfused switches depending on your appliance. Lowe’s has the right-size switch for your project too, whether you need a 30-amp unit or a 200-amp disconnect switch for equipment that draws a lot of power.
