FAQs
What makes your artisanal electrical outlets different from standard mass-produced outlets?
Each outlet is hand-assembled in Petros by certified electricians who pay meticulous attention to conductor alignment, torque calibration, and finish quality. We use premium brass terminals for superior conductivity, solid-core copper wiring, and natural stone or hardwood faceplates sourced from local artisans. The result is an outlet that not only meets all CSA/UL safety standards but also serves as a long-lasting design feature in your home.
Are your handcrafted outlets compliant with Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and local Petros bylaws?
Yes. All components are CSA and UL listed, and every completed unit is tested to ensure it meets or exceeds the Canadian Electrical Code. Our master electrician files the necessary permit with the City of Petros when installation is requested, guaranteeing full compliance with municipal inspection requirements.
Can these outlets handle modern high-load devices such as induction cookers, EV chargers, or smart-home hubs?
Absolutely. We offer 15-amp, 20-amp, and 40-amp receptacle options, each with heavy-gauge terminals and high-temperature nylon bodies rated up to 75 °C. For EV chargers or other high-draw appliances, we recommend our 240 V/40 A model, which includes a dedicated grounding lug and oversize wire-clamp screws for secure conductor seating.
Do you provide customization options for faceplates and finishes?
Yes. Customers can choose from over 30 hardwood species (walnut, maple, cherry, etc.), natural marbles, and patinated metals. We also offer laser-engraved labeling, integrated USB-C or Qi wireless charging modules, and concealed screw designs. Custom orders typically add 3â5 business days to production time.
How do I maintain and clean the decorative faceplates without damaging the electrical components?
For wood faceplates, use a lightly damp microfiber cloth followed by a dry wipe; avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the natural oil finish. Stone and metal plates can be cleaned with pH-neutral soap and water. Always switch off power at the breaker before removing the faceplate, and consult our care guide to avoid voiding the warranty.
What is the installation process and warranty provided for residents of Petros?
After a free on-site assessment, our licensed electricians schedule installation, which usually takes 20â30 minutes per outlet. We handle permit applications, supply materials, and perform final testing with a calibrated load-bank analyzer. All workmanship is covered by a 5-year warranty, and components carry a lifetime manufacturerâs defect guarantee.
