Upgrading Your Home with the Right Type of Outlet

The standard three-prong outlet is a familiar sight, but electrical technology has evolved to meet the demands of modern living. Choosing the right type of outlet for a specific location can dramatically improve safety and convenience. Our expert electricians can help you select and install the perfect solution for any room in your home.

• GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) Outlets: Essential for safety, GFCI outlets are a must-have in any area where electricity and water might come into contact. These smart devices constantly monitor the flow of electricity and will instantly shut off the power if they detect an imbalance, preventing a dangerous electrical shock. Building codes in Ward and across the country mandate GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, basements, and for all outdoor receptacles. Installing or upgrading to GFCI outlets is one of the most important safety improvements you can make in your home.
• AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) Outlets: An arc fault is a dangerous electrical problem caused by damaged, overheated, or stressed wiring or devices. It is a leading cause of electrical fires in homes. AFCI outlets provide enhanced protection by detecting these dangerous arcing conditions and cutting power before a fire can start. They are often required by code in bedrooms, living rooms, and other living areas.
• USB Outlets: Tired of searching for bulky charging adapters? USB outlets offer a sleek, convenient solution. These receptacles combine traditional power slots with built-in USB ports, allowing you to plug your smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices directly into the wall. They free up your standard outlets for other appliances and provide a clean, modern charging station in any room, from the kitchen island to your bedside table.
• Smart Outlets: Bring your home into the 21st century with smart outlets. These advanced receptacles can be controlled remotely via a smartphone app, allowing you to turn lights and appliances on or off from anywhere. You can schedule a coffee maker to turn on in the morning, ensure you turned off an iron after leaving the house, or monitor energy usage for greater efficiency.
