  • As parents, we do everything to make sure our homes are safe for our kids, from locking cabinets to childproofing sharp edges. Electric outlets should also be part of your home’s safety measures. At Mr. Electric of Denton, we offer childproof outlets that provide better protection than the basic plastic covers available in your local store. The outlets we install have a spring-loaded cover that immediately closes when not in use. This means no worrying about forgetting to replace a cover.

  • Curiosity is a part of a child’s nature. This curiosity sometimes leads them to explore things that could harm them, like electrical outlets. Even with constant supervision, accidents can happen in an instant. About 70% of injuries related to outlets happen when an adult is around, and the insertion of a foreign object in the outlet accounts for 30% of these. Some common items children may insert into outlets include:

    • Tools
    • Keys
    • Hairpins
    • Jewelry
    • Paperclips
    • Belt Buckles
    • Nail Files

The Risks of Outlet Injuries 

We want you to be aware, not alarmed. It is crucial to know the potential injuries that can result from a child interacting with an electrical outlet. Understanding these may help you see why we firmly believe in the importance of childproofing outlets. Here are the most common injuries a child may suffer.

Electric Shocks

A typical home outlet carries 120 volts of electricity, and contact with this level of electrical current can cause serious damage and injury. Sadly, statistics show that, on average, seven children every single day suffer from electrocution incidents as a result of inserting objects or their fingers into electrical outlets. It is crucial to implement safety measures to prevent such accidents. Electrocution can lead to muscle spasms, burns, nervous system problems, and other serious health issues.

Electrical Burns

Electrical outlet interactions are responsible for the vast majority of burn injuries, making up approximately 95% of all reported instances. The burns from these incidents can range from mild to critical, possibly leading to extensive skin damage, potential scarring, and long-standing complications. Therefore, it’s imperative to remain vigilant and follow safety protocols to avert these injuries.

Other Serious Injuries

In extreme situations, electrocution can result in severe and potentially fatal injuries. When the electrical current traverses vital areas such as the chest or head, it can lead to heart attacks or brain damage, causing long-lasting consequences. This is precisely why Mr. Electric of Denton prioritizes the utmost importance of childproofing outlets, ensuring the safety and well-being of our valued customers.

  • You might’ve seen simple plastic plug inserts at your local store or online. These may seem like a good choice, but they’re not as safe as they seem. Children eventually learn to remove these plugs, and they’re easy to forget to replace. That’s why we offer the installation of spring-loaded protectors that automatically close, maximizing your family’s safety.
