Types of Outlets & Switches We Install
- GFCI Outlets: Ground fault circuit interrupter outlets (GFCI) are electrical receptacles that track electric currents and cut off power when there is a surge. GFCI outlets are best suited for areas at high risk for electrical hazards and shocks, like bathrooms, garages, crawl spaces, basements, laundry rooms, or anywhere water sources are present.
- AFCI Outlets: The Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) is designed to protect homes from electrical fires that could come from arcing faults. Arcing faults are electrical malfunctions that could occur with aging or damaged wires. Damaged wires let electrical currents jump from one wire to another (aka arcing). If there is a surge in current, an AFCI immediately deactivates the outlet. AFCIs are most commonly installed in bedrooms, dining rooms, dens, closets, hallways, and recreation/playrooms.
- Tamper-Proof Outlets: These types of outlets are designed with spring-loaded shutters that seal off contact openings they are in use. Tamper-proof outlets are also considered child-proof, as the springs have to be simultaneously compressed in order to work. In addition to being kid-safe, tamper-proof outlets also offer protection from humidity, rain, and UV rays.
- 20A, 125 Volt Outlets: These types of outlets are recommended for larger kitchen and household appliances, such as dishwashers, washers, and dryers, that require more power to work. 20A, 125 Volt outlets can be identified by the horizontal slot located along with the vertical ground slot.
- 20A, 250 Volt Outlets: This type of outlet is best suited for larger electrical appliances such as air ventilation systems, air-conditioning units, and air compressors requiring higher voltage to function.
