Installing child proof outlets in your home is the most effective way to prevent accidental shocks and burns that can occur when curious little fingers get close to an outlet. Most of us are familiar with plastic plug protectors, but they can be forgotten or removed by smart children. Mr. Electric of Madison uses special tamper-resistant outlet covers that are highly reliable. This requires replacing your outlet, which is not a job you want to attempt on your own. Our friendly electricians are happy to replace all the outlets in your home with residential child proof outlets.

A high-quality child-proof outlet will be easy for adults to operate and impossible for young children to operate. That’s what we offer. Our spring-loaded outlets snap shut the moment a plug is removed from them. In order to open the cover plate, you have to place equal pressure on both sides of the unit, similar to the way tamper-proof medicine bottles work. We are always available to show you examples of child-proof outlets and help you create a plan for which outlets you would like to replace.

Some child-proof outlets are better than others. That is why it is crucial to work with professional electricians when upgrading to child-proof outlets. Many screw-in outlet protectors have been identified as fire hazards. Some of the DIY child-proof outlets are less effective than they should be, such as plastic inserts. The most reliable and trustworthy way to upgrade your outlets and protect your family is to work with a team of licensed electricians like Mr. Electric of Madison.
