For homeowners that live in older houses, it’s very likely that the home has plenty of outlets that are both out of date and lack the proper ground wire. Updating these “vintage” two-prong outlets during a remodeling phase may help to keep electrical shocks from happening, along with power surges and even electrical fires.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) have become a crucial addition/replacement in homes today. From the kitchens to the bathrooms and outdoor areas, GFCI’s can create a much safer living environment. Instead of having your breaker trip, GFCI’s switch off instantly when an outlet comes into contact with any moisture to better prevent electrical shock and, as a result, fire. Because of this, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters are required by code in many home electrical requirements in new construction and renovations.
Computers and smartphones are everywhere these days. Tablets, too. The need for more places to recharge seems to grow daily. By installing charging stations, you can free up the existing electrical outlets while also creating great places around the home to easily charge up your devices. Convenience, device safety, and the need to not find have to find a charging block are all good reason to install outlets with device charging ports.
