Types of Electrical Outlets We Install
There are many choices when you want to install electrical outlets at your home in Houston, Tomball, or Conroe, TX. Mr. Electric of Northwest Houston will help you choose the right outlet for your property. Learn more about some of your many options:
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Outlets – GFCI outlets protect you from electric shock. These outlets sense abnormal current flows and stop electricity from flowing into the outlet.
- Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) Outlets – AFCI outlets protect your home from a house fire by detecting power arcs and stopping them before they can do damage.
- USB Outlets – Instead of using those USB adaptors, you can plug your smartphone’s USB charger right into the wall by installing a USB outlet to charge your electronic devices with a USB cord.
- Smart Outlets – Many Texas homeowners are installing smart devices in their homes so they can monitor their homes from anywhere in the world. Smart outlets connect to the smart devices in your home.
- Tamper-Resistant Outlets – Child-proof or child-resistant outlets will keep your kids safe and offer better protection than plastic plug covers. These tamper-resistant devices cannot be removed from outlets and will safeguard small children against electrocution.
- Switched Outlets – Half power receptacle, half power switch; these outlets allow you to turn on or off appliances with the flip of a switch. Use switched outlets for hard-to-reach devices.
- Two-Duplex Outlets – You can double a standard power outlet from two to four plug spaces. Two-duplex outlets are ideal for kitchen counters, home offices, entertainment centers, and more.
- 15-amp Outlets – These standard three-pronged outlets are ideal for hallways, guest bedrooms, and areas where you don’t typically have to plug in too many devices or appliances at the same time.
- 20-amp Outlets – A beefed-up version of a standard outlet, you can use 20-amp outlets for kitchen counters to get up to modern building codes and handle all your standard kitchen appliances such as blenders, toaster ovens, and more. You will recognize a 20-amp outlet vs. a 15-amp outlet because the left wire plug will have a horizontal slot.
- 30-amp Outlets – Use these outlets for large appliances like gas dryers or RV shore power outlets.
- 50-amp Outlets – As the biggest outlets installed for residential buildings, Mr. Electric of Northwest Houston can install anything up to 50 amps for your home. These outlets are used for large appliances such as electric dryers and ovens.
