  • Child-proof outlets are more advanced and secure than plastic child-proof outlet covers or child-proof electrical outlet plugs. Those are just plastic caps that you insert into your outlet, and your child may be able to remove them once they are more mobile. Childproof outlets, also called tamper-resistant outlets, are more effective and offer lasting protection. A child-proof outlet is configured with a spring-loaded shutter. If nothing is plugged into the outlet, the shutter closes to block the slots. To use the outlet, you only need to push a plug into the slots, and the springs compress, allowing the shutters to open. Both springs must be compressed simultaneously for the slots to open, so if a child tries to insert a foreign object into the outlet, it will not create an electrical current. Call our experienced technicians today to schedule outlet installation.

  • Installing child-proof outlets is an electrical safety device that will protect your child as they start crawling, walking, and exploring your home. When children become more mobile and more curious, they have the potential to get into trouble and injure themselves. Child-proof outlets should be installed on all lower outlets in the common areas and every outlet in the child’s room. Even if furniture typically covers an outlet, you should install a child-proof outlet there. Even if you don’t have children, installing child-proof outlets can offer an extra layer of protection. They will keep dust and debris out of your outlets and ensure you're prepared if someone does bring a child into your home.

Benefits of Child-Proof Electrical Outlets

Childproofing your home, including your outlets, is common sense if you’re a parent or have children in your home regularly. If a child tampers with an outlet, they risk burns, electrical shock, electrocution, and even death. Installing child-proof electrical outlets offers more benefits than just peace of mind:

  • Protection from injury to children and adults with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or certain learning disabilities
  • Improved fire safety
  • Prevent dirt, dust, and other debris from entering the outlet
  • Extend the lifespan of your outlets
  • Increase the value of your home should you choose to sell it in the future

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
