Five Reasons You Need USB Outlets
The holiday season is a great time to take a look at your lighting needs, get ready for the festivities ahead, and prepare for winter. It’s also a great time to check out the specials we’re having at SESCOS, where you can find great deals on fixtures and installation services.
Hot Deal: USB Receptacles
SESCOS currently offers a special on USB receptacles. Now you can have the convenience and clutter-free living offered by a USB outlet, professionally installed at a new, lower price. Check out our “Specials” page to get the details. Here are five reasons to upgrade.
1. Cut the Clutter
Do you have a lot of electronics that you need to keep charged? By the time you add up your cell phones, tablets, e-readers and gaming devices, the number could be climbing high. Trying to keep them all charged can become a headache, leaving you with no place to plug in a lamp, clock, hair dryer or other appliance.
Searching for the right charging unit is another hassle. With a USB outlet, you can drop that worry.
If you’re tired of your devices hogging your outlets and of trying to keep track of a separate charger for every device, you need USB receptacles. These dual-use outlets will let you plug in your regular electrical items while also giving you a place to charge your electronics, all in the same spot, all from a simple USB cable.
2. You Already Use Them
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, and the key word there is “universal.” You’re probably already familiar with USB ports on your computer. They’re what allow you to hook up:
- Adapters
- Modems
- Keyboards
- Computer Mice
- Speakers
- Webcams
- Printers
- Many other devices
3. Total Convenience
You already know how handy the USB ports on your computer are. On the downside, they usually charge your devices slowly and can only fit one or two. With wall-mounted USB receptacles, you can take that convenience to the next level. Once you start using them, you’ll never want to go back to dragging your chargers around the house or having to unplug everything else so that you can power up your e-reader.
USB receptacles offer convenience and a clean, clutter-free home. And with SESCOS current special, the right time to buy them is now.
4. Installation is a Breeze
Installation is fast and our SESCO technicians will make sure it’s done right. There are a few things you should keep in mind.
Amperage: Most UBS outlets are low in amps. That’s important if you plan to charge more than one device at a time on the same outlet. Your SESCOS technician can advise you on the amperage level that will work for you.
Size: USB receptacles tend to be deeper and sometimes wider than standard outlets. This shouldn’t be a problem in newer homes, but it might if your home is older and you haven’t upgraded the outlets. In that case, a SESCOS electrician can install a new electrical box and get you ready to charge.
Safety first: Although this is not a complicated procedure, why take chances? Call a licensed electrician and avoid shock, fire or other problems.
5. They’re the Future
USB receptacles are the wave of the future. We depend on our electronics, and we need a dependable way to keep them charged. Some design experts predict that USB receptacles may one day replace electrical outlets as the standard in homebuilding.
Get ahead of the curve and install USB outlets that will give your home an instant upgrade.
