If you are unsure whether upgrading to recessed outlets is best for your family, then read below for some helpful information. 

Why Are Recessed Outlets Becoming a Popular Choice for Homeowners? 

Recessed outlets offer a lot of rewards for property owners. They help keep plugs safety tucked away, which can help people avoid dangerous falls. They are great for managing cables and wires behind a wall mounted flat-screen TV or on a kitchen island. Recessed outlets can also upgrade outlets inside the bathroom or outdoors, where they can help avoid exposure to the elements. 

How Are Recessed Outlets Installed?

Installing a recessed outlet is very similar to installing a conventional unit. First, it is essential that the electrical power is turned off. Otherwise, it could put people at risk of electrocution, personal injury or electrical fires. Then the existing outlet cover will need to be unscrewed, carefully removed and safely disconnected from the wiring. Once the outlet box has been properly removed, then the new one can be installed. In some cases, the drywall may need to be trimmed to size according to the appropriate measurements. The new outlet will need to be connected to the electrical system, making sure the wires are correctly attached to the screws. Finally, the new cover plate and trim will need to be added, before restoring power and testing the outlet to see if all went well. 

Benefits of Hiring a Qualified Electrician for Your Recessed Outlet Installation

Handling electricity can be extremely dangerous. For this reason, it is recommended that property owners hire someone with professional training and experience for any complex installation, repair or replacement service. Hiring a qualified electrician for your new outlet installation will help you avoid injury and ensure that your system is safe and compliant with current standards and regulations.
