What Are the Benefits of Having USB Outlets?
USB outlets can provide homeowners with a number of important benefits, such as:
- Convenient charging locations
- Reduced need for unsightly adapters
- Faster charging speeds (sometimes up to 40% faster)
- Reduced clutter caused by excessive adapters
- Free up pronged outlets for things that really need them
Where Can I Put USB Outlets in My Home?
You can put USB outlets anywhere there is an existing outlet. Whether it’s your kitchen, office, bedrooms, family room, living room, or garage, if there’s an outlet, you can convert it to a USB outlet.
You probably don’t want to change all of the outlets in your home, so it’s worth considering where you would like accessible power for your devices the most or where in your home you tend to use them the most.
Are USB Outlets Safe to Use?
Yes! Although USB outlets incorporate traditional three-pronged wall plugs, the power drawn from your home’s electrical circuit is stepped down to around 2.4 amps for USB ports. This reduced power level is safe for both your electronics and your home, and it can even increase the charging rate compared to an adapter.
To ensure safety, always avoid unbranded products that don’t provide amperage details, don’t have CE markings, don’t provide safety instructions, and don’t list compatible devices.
We can take the guesswork out of finding the right USB outlets for your home by providing you with options from trusted brands.
How Do I Pick the Right USB Outlets for My Home?
Beyond ensuring that a specific product meets the right safety requirements, your options for USB outlets are limited – but that’s not a bad thing! Most come with two three-prong outlets and two USB ports, which are typically located between the pronged outlets or just below the lowest one.
Most of the variation between models comes down to how far apart the USB ports are spaced from each other and whether they’re configured in a horizontal or vertical position. These are probably trivial details to most homeowners, although they could matter in terms of space depending upon what the pronged outlets are used for.

“The differences? When I needed new AC, I got three on-site estimates.”- David M.
I have confidence in this company
"The differences? When I needed new AC, I got three on-site estimates. One was a glossy car-salesman-like company, another was an old-family folksy company, and then Great Lakes. The glossy guy I disliked, and it was pricey. The folksy guy I liked, but his knowledge was lacking--he thought my old AC concrete pad would work fine, but the Great Lakes guy said you need a new pad, and also he recommended running a new duct from the basement to upstairs so that cooler air there saves stress on the AC system. I have confidence in this company."- David M. -

"Have used Great Lakes Heating and Air Conditioning for several years. Just had a Furnace and Air Conditioning installed. Amy, our Comfort Advisor was absolutely excellent. She was very detail-oriented, explained all clearly, and answered all our questions. We couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. Jeff, our Installation Technician did a fantastic job. He was considerate of our home and there was no clean up needed when the job was complete. Another important area to us is when you call in for service.
