We Can Install USB Outlets, USB-C Outlets, And more in Your Kitchen or Bathroom

In a world of smartphones, laptops, and a superabundance of electronic devices and accessories, keeping track of charging cables and their wall adaptor companions can be a hassle. A simple solution to this issue is to install USB electric outlets, which have USB ports in place of, or alongside, traditional electrical outlets. A USB outlet converts 120 VOLT AC wall power into five-volt DC power. It’s something we hear every day, “has anyone seen my charger?”

With an electrical wall USB outlet, you can charge your electronic devices and accessories with your regular charging cable without the need for an adaptor and place them in places that make sense to the functionality of your home. Installing USB outlets throughout your home enhances your home’s functionality and aesthetic appeal. Columbus Electricians with MK Electric install various electrical outlets in your home. Untangle your life with USB outlets that match the way you live!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can outlets and switches be on the same circuit?

Yes, they can. The average home uses an indoor distribution board that houses the breakers of most circuits in the home. A circuit controlled by a 15A circuit breaker (which many contractors use for general lighting) can also accommodate outlets.

What is the main function of a switch?

In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another.

Which grade of electrical outlets should I install in my home?

There are three grades of outlet on the market. Homeowner grade, the cheapest, is commonly found in builder-grade homes. However, this type is flimsy and tends to wear out in 5-10 years at the most. So when you install or replace electrical outlets, go for a commercial grade instead – this costs about 50% more than the less expensive kind. Still, the financial difference is insignificant, considering that commercial grade outlets will last 100 years under typical home use conditions. Hospital grade is costly, costing ten times the price of homeowner quality, and is unnecessary; it’s designed for never-fail use in medical facilities (for example, to power breathing machines).

What is a "tamper-resistant receptacle."

This is a type of electric outlet that the NEC (National Electric Code) requires to be installed in all newly constructed or renovated residences as of 2008. It is designed to protect children from shock and burns as the result of their sticking small metal objects (for example, paper clips or keys) into the receptacle.
