Electrical Outlet Upgrades: Modern Convenience
The standard electrical outlet has been a household staple for decades, but our power needs have evolved. With a multitude of electronic devices to charge and a growing interest in home automation, upgrading your outlets is a simple way to add modern convenience and functionality to your home.
🔌 USB Wall Outlets
Free up your standard outlets and eliminate the need for bulky charging adapters with integrated USB outlets.
💡 Smart Outlets
Turn any standard appliance into a smart device with a smart outlet.
📱 App and Voice Control
Control lamps, coffee makers, or fans from your smartphone or with voice commands through assistants like Alexa or Google Home.
📅 Scheduling
Set schedules to automatically turn devices on and off, which is great for security (making it look like someone is home) and convenience.
📈 Energy Monitoring
Many smart outlets can track the energy consumption of the plugged-in device, helping you identify power-hungry appliances.
🛡️ Safety Upgrades
Beyond convenience, modern outlets offer enhanced safety features.
Modern Safety Features:
- Tamper-Resistant Receptacles (TRRs): Required by code in most new construction, these outlets have internal shutters that prevent children from inserting foreign objects. A great upgrade for any home with young kids.
- AFCI/GFCI Combo Outlets: These outlets provide both Arc-Fault (fire) and Ground-Fault (shock) protection in one device, offering the highest level of safety for a specific location.
Upgrading outlets is a relatively low-cost project that can have a high impact on your home's daily functionality and safety.
