Your electrical outlets are probably the closest you get to the electrical wiring of your building. If you are like most homeowners, then you don’t think much of the outlets. You plug your device in and get on with your day. However, if you are looking to modernize your home, then take advantage of these technologies for your outlets. The folks at Mr. Electric of Fort Worth have put together this article as a quick guide on upgrading your outlets to meet the demands of the 21st century. Feel free to call Mr. Electric if you have any questions or would like to hire a qualified electrician.
LED Night Lights
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
If you have children who are afraid of the dark or if you want to add a little bit of personality to your outlets, then consider LED night lights. These lights do not take up an outlet space and actually give longer light, saving you money in the long-term with its 20-year life expectancy. There are many colors to choose from, so call Mr. Electric to explore your options.
USB Outlets
Outlets in the 21st century have become inundated with the hoard of smaller electronic devices we use in everyday life. Your tablets, smart phones, and smart watches, for example, are probably taking up an outlet space at least a fraction of every day. USB outlets allow you to plug these devices into the outlet directly, without the assistance of a bulky adapter. Save the outlet’s receptacles for other uses.
We provide reliable, professional electrical services backed by licensed electricians and upfront pricing. Our team is committed to safety, quality workmanship, and on-time service for every job. With trusted local expertise and customer-first care, we deliver solutions you can count on.
Recessed Outlets
Standard outlets are level with the wall they fit inside. This leaves plugs dangling from the receptacle, taking up space and posing a slight safety hazard. A recessed outlet is set deeper into the wall, keeping plugs from extending far beyond the surface of your wall. This is a great option for rooms with limited square footage and high outlet usage.
Tamper Resistant Receptacle
Children, especially toddlers, are dangerously curious. As they explore the world, they learn lessons the easy way or the hard way. Teach your children that outlets are extremely dangerous but take precaution as well. A tamper resistant receptacle will prevent small children from inserting foreign objects into them. This way, you can truly rest easy.
Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters
Electricity is a notoriously volatile element. Even in the controlled electrical circuit of a home, the electrical current fluctuates. Spikes above the expected range are possible and can overheat electrical wiring and damage electronics. An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) detects when something unexpected happens and shuts down the outlet before damage can occur.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
Similar to the AFCI, the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) monitors the electricity flowing in a circuit and responds to risky interruptions by shutting off power to the circuit. While the AFCI protects the individual outlet, the GFCI is a layer of protection for the entire circuit.
