Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a 15-amp and 20-amp outlet?
What is the difference between a 15-amp and 20-amp outlet?
A 15-amp electrical outlet is standard for most home lighting and small appliance circuits. A 20-amp outlet is designed for higher-draw appliances (like microwaves or power tools) and features a horizontal "T" slot on the neutral side to accommodate 20-amp plugs.
Why do I need tamper-resistant outlets?
Why do I need tamper-resistant outlets?
Tamper-resistant (TR) outlets are required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) in new residential constructions. They feature internal shutters that only open when a two-pronged plug is inserted simultaneously, preventing children from sticking objects into the slots.
Can I replace a standard outlet with a Decora style?
Can I replace a standard outlet with a Decora style?
Yes. A decora outlet fits into the same electrical box as a traditional duplex receptacle. However, you will need to replace the wall plate to match the rectangular opening of the Decora design.
What are the best brands for high-quality receptacles?
What are the best brands for high-quality receptacles?
For professional-grade reliability and aesthetic variety, we recommend industry leaders like Leviton, Lutron, and Legrand. These brands offer extensive color options and specialized features like screwless wall plates.
How do I know if my outlet is grounded?
How do I know if my outlet is grounded?
A grounded wall outlet features three slots: two vertical slots for hot and neutral, and a rounded bottom hole for the ground wire. This third wire provides a safe path for electricity in the event of a fault.
