  • Childproof outlets, also known as tamper-resistant outlets, are a permanent and reliable safety solution. They are a special type of outlet that has a built-in safety feature to stop accidental shocks and injuries. They work by making it impossible to insert anything inside of them that doesn’t belong there—like metal forks or damp toddler fingers.

    Traditional plastic outlet covers block the outlet; however, they can be removed by any curious and determined toddler. Your electrician from Mr. Electric of Columbia installs childproof outlets that comply with the National Electrical Code. In fact, the NEC requires all new construction homes to include childproof outlets. If your home is older and you are about to welcome a new bundle of joy, childproof outlets are an upgrade you do not want to skip. This permanent solution makes your home significantly safer, especially if you have small children.

The Benefits of Installing Childproof Outlets

Upgrade your home with childproof outlets and experience the many benefits firsthand. Although they are called childproof, they do more than just protect children. They protect your entire household. Here’s why installing them is a smart choice:

  • Enhanced Safety: The risk of electrical hazards goes way down because children can’t insert objects like keys, paper clips, or toys into the outlets.
  • Code Compliance: Your home meets the latest safety standards as recommended by the NEC.
  • Permanent Protection: Unlike removable outlet covers, childproof outlets provide built-in safety without the inconvenience of constantly replacing or adjusting covers.
  • Peace of Mind: Parents and caregivers can focus on daily tasks without worrying about electrical hazards in the home.
  • Cost-Effective Safety Upgrade: This long-term safety solution does not require frequent replacements like plastic plug covers.
