Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Get another electrician. I'm an electrician in New Jersey and would not leave a customer hanging. If you "splice" (your words), it needs to be inside an electrical box. Or poke a hole in your wall for the supplied wire/cord and plug it into an interior outlet, then seal the hole. There are several ways to flip this cat.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not an electrician, but I assume he doesn't want to feed it into the interior outlet because the outlet isn't a GFCI outlet. You could always add a new outlet or switch a current one to a GFCI outlet.
