Setting up advanced electrical sockets in your household can enhance safety and practice. Mr. Electric of Paola & Overland Park provides outlet installation services in Overland Park, KS. Whether you need extra outlets or an upgrade to your existing ones, we are your go-to team. Faulty outlets that often trip or cause sparks when plugging devices can be a safety hazard. Crucially, any two-pronged outlets require replacement with safer three-pronged, grounded ones. Contact us to find out more about outlet installations.
Choosing the Best Outlets for Your Home
We offer a variety of sockets to boost your household's efficacy, safety, and functionality. While some outlets feature top-notch extras, others have advanced safety features. The common types of sockets we install include:
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Outlets
GFCI outlets are mandatory in all moist areas of your home. A GFCI outlet continually keeps track of current anomalies and cuts off power before a shock can occur.
Arc Fault Current Interrupter (AFCI) Outlets
AFCIs are similar to GFCIs in that they have "Reset" and "Test" buttons. They detect electrical arcs, usually from exposed wiring, and break the circuit before a fire can ignite.
Smart Outlets
Intelligent sockets can synchronize with other smart devices in your home, such as security systems or doorbell cameras. Some also help manage the electrical consumption of devices when they are not in use.
Switched Power Outlets
Switched outlets combine a power socket and switch into one. Devices can be plugged in and controlled with a simple switch.
USB Power Outlets
Instead of using your outlets with USB adapters, consider adding an outlet with dedicated USB charging ports. This frees up sockets for another device.
Tamper-Resistant Outlets
If you have young kids at home, these child-proof outlets are worth considering. They offer greater protection than plastic plugs.
Two-Duplex Power Outlets
If two plugs aren't sufficient, consider upgrading to a two-duplex outlet that provides four plug-in points.
15-Amp Power Outlets
A 15-amp power socket is the standard home socket. These three-pronged power sockets are perfect for areas unlikely to use multiple high-power-drawing devices.
20-Amp Power Outlets
20-amp power sockets can be identified by the horizontal slit on the socket’s left plug. These deliver more power to handle kitchen appliances and power tools.
30-Amp Power Outlets
30-amp high-powered sockets are usually designated for heavy appliances like water heaters, furnaces, and RVs.
50-Amp Power Outlets
50-amp power sockets, one of the most high-powered sockets installed in homes, are used for major appliances like ovens, air conditioners, clothes dryers, and others.
240-Volt Power Outlets
240-volt outlets are installed to power your largest appliances and electric vehicles.
