FAQs
What safety certifications do Guild’s electrical outlets carry?
All of our receptacles are independently tested and certified to IEC, UL, and CE standards, ensuring compliance with both international and local regulations. They also meet or exceed the most recent NEC (National Electrical Code) and BS 1363 requirements where applicable, giving you verified protection against shock, fire, and overload hazards.
How does the built-in surge and over-current protection work?
Each outlet contains a micro-circuit breaker and MOV-based surge suppressor. The breaker proactively disconnects power when current exceeds the rated limit, preventing overheating, while the MOV diverts transient voltage spikes (from lightning or grid switching) safely to ground. This dual layer of protection guards sensitive electronics and reduces the risk of electrical fires.
Do your outlets include ground-fault or residual-current protection?
Yes. Our premium GFCI/RCD models continuously monitor the balance between the live and neutral conductors. If an imbalance as small as 4–6 mA is detected—indicating current potentially flowing through a person to ground—the outlet cuts power in under 30 milliseconds. This rapid response dramatically lowers the chance of serious electric shock.
What child-proofing features are built into the outlets?
Every receptacle is fitted with tamper-resistant (TR) shutters. These spring-loaded barriers keep the slots closed until equal pressure is applied to both openings by a proper plug. Curious fingers, toys, or single prongs cannot defeat the mechanism, providing passive, always-on protection without needing extra plastic caps.
Are the outlets compatible with smart-home and energy-monitoring systems?
Select models integrate Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Wi-Fi chips that allow you to track real-time energy use, set timers, and create automation scenes via the Guild Smart app or third-party platforms like Alexa and Google Home. These smart outlets still retain all core safety functions—including surge, GFCI, and thermal cut-off—so connectivity never compromises protection.
How often should outlets be inspected, and can Guild arrange professional checks?
We recommend a visual inspection every six months for discoloration, loose faceplates, or unusual warmth. For commercial or high-load areas, schedule a full electrical safety test (EICR) every 3–5 years. Guild offers certified electricians who can perform thermal imaging, torque tests, and fault-current measurements to ensure your outlets remain within specification throughout their service life.
