  • Childproof outlets are also known as tamper-resistant outlets, and they are specially designed to prevent children from inserting objects—like toys or forks—into electrical slots. Unlike standard outlets, which allow anything to be pushed inside, childproof outlets have spring-loaded shutters that only open when equal pressure is applied to both sides. This extra layer of protection helps put a stop to accidental electrical shocks and keeps your home a safer place.

  • These safety outlets have become the standard in modern home construction, but if your home was built before 2008, it may still have traditional outlets. Replacing outdated outlets with childproof options is a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in household safety.

Are Childproof Outlets Expensive?

Childproof outlets are an affordable way to improve the safety of your home. The outlets themselves cost only slightly more than traditional ones, making them extremely cost-effective. The real investment comes in the professional installation. With Mr. Electric of Southeast NH on the job, you are guaranteed that the electrical outlet wiring is done correctly and safely.

While you may be tempted to attempt a DIY electrical project, keep in mind that replacing outlets involves live wiring, which can be dangerous if not handled properly. A professional electrician from Mr. Electric of Southeast NH can install childproof outlets efficiently and safely to reduce electrical hazards and meet all code requirements.

  • Childproof outlets are one of the best ways to protect young children from electrical accidents. Even if your home has outlet covers or plastic inserts, these are not as reliable as tamper-resistant outlets. For one, children can figure out how to remove plastic inserts. Additionally, if you use that outlet and then forget to replace the cover afterward, it leaves the outlet exposed. When you have childproof outlets, you avoid unnecessary risk. 

    Furthermore, if you’re planning renovations, selling your home, or upgrading older electrical systems, this is the perfect time to install childproof outlets. Many homebuyers with young children look for safety features like these, making them a valuable selling point.

    Even if you don’t have children, upgrading your home’s electrical safety outlets is also beneficial. It reduces the risk if you have visitors with small children, makes your home more modern, and brings it up to current safety standards.
