Types of Outlets We Install
Common types of outlets we install include:
- Standard Outlets (120V): These are the most common outlets in homes and power most electronics and appliances.
- GFCI Outlets (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter): These outlets provide additional protection against electrical shock, particularly in areas with moisture, like kitchens and bathrooms.
- USB Outlets: These outlets allow you to charge your electronic devices directly through the outlet, eliminating the need for bulky adaptors.
- 220V to 240V Outlets: These outlets are important for larger equipment such as laundry machines, air conditioners, and other workshop tools.
We offer expert outlet installation services in Louisville and Lexington.
How Many Outlets Do You Need?
The National Electrical Code (NEC) sets minimum requirements for the number of outlets in a room. However, it’s wise to go beyond the minimum to ensure you have enough outlets to conveniently power all your devices. Here are some general recommendations:
- Living Room: At least six to eight outlets, spaced evenly around the room.
- Kitchen: Outlets should be readily available on countertops, above the range and oven, and near the sink. GFCI outlets are required near water sources.
- Bedrooms: At least four outlets, including one on each wall.
- Bathrooms: GFCI outlets are required near the sink and for any outlets within three feet of a tub or shower.
Do you need more outlets? We can install exactly what you need, so you never have to resort to overloaded power strips and extension cords.
