Trust Danny’s Electrical Service to Install Custom Outlet Receptacles
Every home has dozens of outlets, so the idea of specialty outlet options may not be surprising. Many are the standard 15-Amp Duplex Receptacle. The outlets near water hazards such as the kitchen and bathroom are ground fault circuit interrupters. However, there are dozens of other outlet types available to provide convenience and safety. Danny’s Electrical Service can help you with all your electrical needs and customize your outlets to your needs. In this month’s blog, learn about several options for your home, including light switches, USB capable, and childproof outlets.
Tamper-Resistant Receptacle
Tamper-Resistant Receptacle is a built-in mechanism that prevents tiny things from being placed into these receptacles. Only a correctly qualified electrical socket will allow the shutters to open. They provide permanent protection, as opposed to plastic outlet caps, which can come off. One of the most significant advantages is that it protects curious young children and pets from electrical harm.
Rotating Outlet
Rotating outlets eliminate the need for power strips when dealing with larger plugs. The rotating outlets rotate 360 degrees to accommodate the size and shape of various plugs. Once a plug is inserted into the socket it will hold its position.
Surge Suppression Outlets
Surge suppression outlets remove the need for a surge protector. These outlets are great for spaces where you have sensitive electronics such as computers, video game systems, sound equipment, and more. These are also fantastic to add to your business office.
USB Outlets
Many electronics nowadays charge with USB cords. These include cell phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc. Companies are also cutting costs and not including connector bricks to connect USB cords to standard outlets. That is where the USB outlet comes in. These specialty outlets have special ports to insert a standard USB plug in. Depending on your needs, you can have Danny’s Electrical Services install a combo outlet or USB exclusive. The combo includes two standard outlets and two USB ports. A USB exclusive is an outlet with four USB ports.
Smart Outlets
The smart outlet is another technologically advanced alternative. These, unlike other types of wall outlets, operated via your smartphone or tablet. You can turn them on and off from your cell phone or tablet, regardless of where you are. It will require a smart home hub such as Google Alexa.
Combination Switch Outlets
Combination switch outlets have a light switch as well as an outlet for plugging in gadgets. This allows you to control power to the gadget simply by flicking the switch. There are a variety of options and combinations, including outlets with a lighting dimmer switch.
