Why Upgrade Two-Prong Outlets?

Especially if you live in an older home, you may still have builders-grade, two-prong outlets. If your property is equipped with these outdated units, it’s time to find a licensed electrician to upgrade your wiring. It can be very dangerous to keep two-prong outlets installed – with them, your home is at a higher risk of power outages and home fires. Because of their many benefits as well as safety features, three-prong outlets have become the new standard. With help from the team at Five Star Plumbing Heating Cooling and Electrical, you can upgrade your home and keep your family safe.

Benefits of upgrading to three-prong outlets include:

• Lowered Chance of Electric Shock. Did you know that more than 300,000 Americans receive non-fatal electrical shocks every year? According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, many of these shocks are caused by outdated outlets.
• Improved Compatibility. Many modern appliances and devices can’t even use two-prong outlets. Stop purchasing adapters every time you need to plug something in; upgrade to three-prong outlets to make your life easier.
• Increased Energy Efficiency. As it is with many older solutions, two-prong outlets often use more electricity to power appliances when compared to modern three-prong outlets.
• Modern Conveniences. Builder-grade outlets from the 1980s (or before) just can’t compete with modern solutions when it comes to functionality. Upgrades like night lights and USB ports can help bring your home into the modern age.

Should I Upgrade My Light Switches?

Gone are the days of simple on/off switches. While they technically get the job done, older switches just can’t offer the same functionality as modern switches, such as dimming and smart functionality. Upgrading your light switches is a subtle way to make a big difference in your home.

Here are just a few reasons to upgrade your switches:

• Modern style
• Smart functionality and integration
• Increased resale value
• Staying up to code

Aesthetics might be the first reason you think of to upgrade your switches, but with the added benefit of increased resale value and the necessity of staying up to code according to South Carolina’s laws, these upgrades should start inching higher up your to-do list.
