Types of Electrical Outlets
GFCI Electrical Outlet
Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets are circuit breakers that automatically shut off power to prevent electrocution. These outlets are crucial for family home safety.
USB Electrical Outlets
Plugging your device into an electrical outlet with a USB can charge it 40% faster than using an adapter. These outlets also allow you to charge many devices at once.
Childproof Faceplates
Also known as safe plates, these covers go over your existing outlet so your children and pets can’t access the inside of the outlet.
Rotating Outlets
360 rotating outlets allow you to accommodate plugs of all shapes and sizes and protect strain on the cords.
Smart Accessibility Outlets
Automate your home with outlets that you can control remotely or with voice commands, those with motion sensors, built-in dimmers, or scheduled outlets. Smart outlets are great for accessibility purposes and can make daily life a breeze.
Motion sensors
Motion sensor outlets can automatically detect human movement and switch your power supply on or off.
Timed electrical outlets
Smart plugs with scheduled timers allow you to set when something is turned on and for how long.
Voice assistant compatible
Pair your device through Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or another voice assistant, and manage what’s plugged in with your voice.
Wi-fi plug-in switch
Wi-fi smart outlets can be connected to your phone or another smart device so you can control your appliances or lights remotely.
Built-in dimmers
Smart plugs with built-in dimmers can help automate and centralize your home’s lighting and increase energy efficiency.
