  • Outlets are a critical part of your home’s electrical infrastructure, but outdated or improperly installed outlets can pose serious safety risks. Over time, standard electrical outlets wear out or may no longer meet today’s safety codes. Homes with children, elderly residents, or moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and garages face an even higher risk when older outlets are in use.

    Installing or upgrading to safety-enhanced outlets—like GFCIs (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters), AFCIs (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters), and tamper-resistant outlets—helps ensure your home meets modern safety standards and reduces the risk of electrical injury or fire.

  • At Mr. Electric, we offer a full range of safety outlet options designed to meet your home's unique needs. Our licensed electricians are trained to assess your current electrical system and recommend outlet upgrades that enhance safety and compliance.

    1. GFCI Outlets (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) - GFCIs are designed to shut off electric power when they detect a ground fault, such as water interference. These outlets are required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) in areas where water is present—including bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor spaces. 
    2. AFCI Outlets (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters) - AFCI outlets detect dangerous arc faults caused by damaged or deteriorated wiring, which can spark electrical fires. These outlets are typically required in living spaces such as bedrooms, dining rooms, and hallways. 
    3. Tamper-Resistant Receptacles (TRRs) - For families with young children, tamper-resistant outlets are a must. TRRs feature built-in shutters that prevent the insertion of foreign objects. They are now required by the NEC in most residential areas and provide an extra layer of safety without the need for unsightly plastic outlet covers.
    4. USB and Smart Outlets - We also offer installation of modern outlet types, including USB-integrated receptacles and smart outlets with programmable settings and Wi-Fi control.

When Should You Replace Your Outlets?

Recognizing the signs of outlet wear or failure is essential for maintaining a safe home. You should consider replacing your outlets if you notice:

  • Sparks or smoke when plugging in devices
  • Warm or discolored outlet covers
  • Plugs that fall out easily or feel loose
  • A burning smell near outlets
  • Tripped circuit breakers associated with certain outlets
  • Absence of GFCI or AFCI outlets in required areas
  • Outlets that are not tamper-resistant in homes with children

If any of these warning signs are present, schedule an inspection right away. The licensed electricians at Mr. Electric will identify problem areas and provide clear recommendations for replacements or upgrades.
