How to Install a USB Outlet?

Make charging your electronics more convenient by investing in a USB outlet upgrade. At Mr. Electric, we enjoy helping local home and business owners find ways to improve the safety and effectiveness of their electrical systems. Are you unsure whether you should update your outlets? Here are just a few reasons why this home improvement project is a must for your modern lifestyle.  

What Is a USB Outlet?

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.

Dawn Boyd

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!

A USB outlet works just like a conventional outlet. The only difference is that there is space integrated inside the outlet for you to plug your USB chargers directly into the wall. There are a variety of designs in the marketplace, but most will have two traditional receptacles to plug in your electronics, as well as two additional USB receptacles for chargers placed in the center. Some models also come with child proof features as well. 

Why USB Outlets Are Becoming Popular

In today’s high tech world, almost everyone carries multiple electronic devices with them every day. Smart phones, tablets, digital cameras, portable gaming systems and laptops are just a few of the items that may require a USB charger. For large households, it can become very difficult to find an open outlet to plug into. To make matters worse, most of the charging plugs are very bulky. Not only do they take up a lot of valuable space, but it can also create a lot of unnecessary clutter. USB outlets offer the perfect solution. Devices can be plugged directly into the wall, instantly transforming any outlet into a charging station. You’ll enjoy a faster charge, with less of a mess.

How to Upgrade Your Outlet

The first step is to ensure the safety of yourself and loved ones by turning off all electrical power to the work area at the circuit breaker. Neglecting this step could have devastating consequences, so be sure to double check with a voltage tester before touching any wires. Once the power is off, carefully remove the current outlet cover and take the receptacle out of the wall, using a screwdriver. Then, you will need to disconnect the five wires and straighten them. Reconnect the wires to your new USB outlet receptacle according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Replace the receptacle and outlet cover with your screwdriver. Restore the power and test the outlet. If you feel uncomfortable working with electricity, or simply don’t have the time, contact a professionally trained electrician. The experts at Mr. Electric of Fort Worth can have your outlets upgraded safely, quickly and affordably.
