Smart Outlets
Smart outlets give busy families a great advantage on their electric bill. These incredible technological wonders allow you to control your outlets via phone app, even when you’re away at work or on vacation. Not only are these outlets incredibly convenient, they can help your household save big on monthly utilities while reducing your overall energy consumption.
USB Outlets
USB outlets are another great alternative for high tech home’s. If you’re tired of hunting down chargers every time you need to plug in your phone, laptop or other device, then this is the one for you. These outlets normally have two USB plugs in additional to the conventional three pronged receptacles.

If your home was recently constructed, it’s likely that GFCI outlets are already installed. However, if you’ve purchased a historic home or a previously owned property, then they may not have updated their outlets. GFCI’s are incredibly important. They shut off power automatically if a short circuit occurs, which keeps you safe from issues like electrical fires, electrocutions and damaged electronics. These outlets should be installed anywhere where there’s a high level of moisture, such as outdoors, laundry rooms, bathrooms and kitchens.
Switched Outlets
Switched outlets are similar to the smart outlets previously mentioned, because they allow you to turn off power to the outlet as needed. The main difference is this outlet has the switch built onto the plate, and must be controlled manually, rather than using a smart phone.
