Securing Your Home With Affordable Protection for Your Family

Mr. Electric of Virginia Beach offers affordable child proof outlet installation services to ensure your children's safety without significant expense. Most updates cost only a few dollars per outlet, making this simple home improvement a wise investment. If your home lacks child proof outlets or if existing ones are damaged, our team is ready to help, protecting your children from electrical burns, shocks, and potential fatalities. Learn more about how child proof GFCI outlets can help you avoid:

Electrical Burns

Electrical burns are the most common injuries from contact with outlets, comprising 95% of cases. Children are particularly vulnerable due to their thin skin, which offers little resistance to electrical currents or heat, resulting in severe injuries.

Electrical Shocks

Electrical shocks are another significant danger, with about seven children injured daily from inserting objects into outlets. This behavior highlights the urgent need for preventive measures.

Serious or Fatal Injuries

Some electrical injuries can lead to serious or fatal outcomes. Preventing these risks is critical, especially for vulnerable children, to avoid emergency room visits or worse.

  • Not all child proof outlets provide the same level of safety. Avoid outlets that require plug screws, as they can be fire hazards. Similarly, plastic outlet covers can pose choking risks. Trust Mr. Electric of Virginia Beach for safe and effective installation, ensuring your children's safety and giving you peace of mind.
