FAQs
What makes a modern aesthetics electrical outlet different from a standard outlet?
Modern aesthetics outlets are designed to blend seamlessly with contemporary interiors through slim profiles, screw-less faceplates, and a wide range of designer finishes. Functionally, they often incorporate advanced features such as USB-A/USB-C charging ports, smart-home connectivity, built-in night-lights, and enhanced safety mechanisms like tamper-resistant shutters. The result is a sleek look without sacrificing performance or safety.
Are modern aesthetic outlets code-compliant in Guild?
Yes. All the outlets we supply and install are UL-listed and conform to the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by Guild’s building department. For kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior locations we provide GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) or weather-resistant GFCI units as required. Bedroom circuits can be fitted with AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection or combination devices to satisfy local amendments. Our licensed electricians handle permitting and inspection to ensure every installation passes Guild’s code review.
Can I add USB or USB-C charging ports without rewiring my home?
In most cases, yes. Our modern aesthetic combination outlets replace your existing receptacle in the same electrical box, using the existing wiring. They provide two standard 15-A or 20-A plug points plus built-in 3.1–6.0 A USB-A and/or USB-C ports. Installation usually takes 15–20 minutes per unit with no drywall damage. If your home has aluminum wiring or insufficient box depth, we will recommend approved adapters or box extensions to keep everything safe and code-compliant.
How do smart outlets work and what platforms do they support?
Smart outlets contain embedded Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or Z-Wave radios that let you control power from a phone app, voice assistant, or home-automation hub. Our preferred lines integrate with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. Once installed and paired, you can schedule on/off times, monitor energy usage, and create scenes (e.g., turn off all lamps when you leave). They still function as normal outlets if the network is down.
What finishes and colors are available to match my décor?
We stock matte white, matte black, graphite, stainless, brushed brass, and satin nickel faceplates, along with customizable accent inserts. For premium projects we offer paintable and wallpaper-ready covers to achieve an exact wall match. All finishes are fingerprint-resistant and UV-stable to prevent yellowing over time. Samples can be viewed in our Guild showroom or ordered for home evaluation.
