Pier electrical
A pier is a long run from the panel.
Everything on a pier starts back at the house: the circuits leave the panel, or a sub-panel, and run the length of the pier to the lights, the outlets and the lift.
Power near water needs more care than power indoors. Outlets out there are GFCI-protected, and the run, the pedestal and the fittings are planned for the weather before anything is mounted.
The photo at the top of this page is one of ours: a power pedestal on a wooden dock, with the creek behind it.
The electrician's eye
Where pier power fits
At the panel
A long run to the water needs room in the panel, so the panel check comes first. If the house needs a sub-panel or a service upgrade, that is part of the same plan.
Along the pier
Lights and outlets are placed where you tie up, load the boat and walk at night.
At the lift
A boat lift gets its own circuit, run out with the rest.

Can you run power out to my pier?
Yes. Pier electrical is part of the work we do: power run from the house out to the pier, with lighting, outlets and circuits for boat lifts.
Will my panel handle it?
It depends on how much room and capacity the panel has, which we check during the estimate. If it needs a sub-panel or an upgrade, that can be part of the same job.
Do you pull the permit?
Yes. Pier electrical work is permitted and inspected.
