• Smart Outlets – If you have a lot of smart devices in your home, you’ll want smart outlets. Take advantage of technology while monitoring your home from anywhere in the world.
• USB Outlets – Eliminate the need for USB adaptors when you plug your smartphone and other devices directly into the wall using a USB cord and USB outlet.
• Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) Outlets – AFCI outlets protect buildings from fires. The outlets detect power arcs while they happen and stop them in their tracks.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Outlets – A GFCI outlet will protect your family, employees, or customers from electric shocks by sensing abnormal current flows and then stopping electricity from flowing into your outlet.
• Switched Outlets – These outlets are part power switch and part power receptacle. Switched outlets allow you to turn your appliances on and off by flipping a switch. An example of a switched outlet is the light switch you turn on when you enter your home that turns on a lamp. Switched outlets are also ideal for hard-to-reach devices.
• Two-Duplex Outlets – These outlets allow you to double the standard outlet from two to four plug spaces. Two-duplex outlets can be used for kitchen counters, home offices, entertainment centers, and other areas.
• Tamper-Resistant Outlets – Keeping your kids safe should always be a priority. We install child-resistant or child-proof outlets to protect small children from the threat of being electrocuted or shocked. These outlets cannot easily be removed and can still be operated safely by adults.
• 15-amp Outlets – Standard 15-amp three-pronged outlets are ideal for hallways, guest bedrooms, and other spaces.
• 20-amp Outlets – The next step up from a standard outlet, 20-amp outlets are ideal for appliances and kitchen counters. You can tell 20-amp outlets from 15-amp outlets by the left wire plug that has a horizontal slot with the higher amp version.
• 30-amp Outlets – These outlets are designed for large appliances, including gas dryers and RV shore power outlets.
• 50-amp Outlets – The most powerful outlet available for residential buildings is a 50-amp outlet which can be used for electric dryers, ovens, and more.
