The Various Types of Outlets
You might be surprised by how many different outlets are available to install in your home. Each outlet has its own particular function. It is important that you choose the correct outlet for your specific needs.
The most common kinds of outlets include:
- 15-amp outlets: This is the most common electrical outlet in homes across the U.S. They are designed to accept standard plugs that are attached to small appliances and lamps.
- 20-amp outlets: This outlet is used for larger appliances like microwaves, dishwashers, stoves, and laundry machines.
- Switched outlets: If you want an outlet that allows you to turn it on and off, a switched outlet is what you need. It includes one port for a plug and one switch that controls the power to the outlet. You might like this option for something like a floor lamp.
- GFCI outlets: A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet is used in locations where water might be present, including kitchens and bathrooms. The purpose is to protect people from serious shock.
- AFCI outlets: An arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) looks similar to a GFCI outlet. As its name implies, its job is to protect from arcs. An arc is what occurs when electricity jumps from one wire to another wire, which can lead to a fire.
- USB outlets: An outlet with integrated USB ports is a convenient way to charge phones, tablets, and more. There are two main options for this type of outlet. First, outlets that come with two regular receptacles and two USB ports. Second, outlets that have four USB ports.
- Smart outlets: Although this option may look similar to a standard 15-amp outlet, these outlets can be controlled from your smartphone. That means that you can turn them on and off from anywhere you have a wi-fi signal.
- 240-volt outlets: This type of outlet is typically installed in homes where large power tools and Level 2 EV chargers are present.
