FAQs
What types of electrical outlets does Petros offer?
Petros stocks a full range of residential and light-commercial outlets, including standard 15 A and 20 A duplex receptacles, GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for wet areas, AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for bedroom circuits, tamper-resistant child-safety receptacles, USB-integrated charging outlets, and weather-resistant models for outdoor use. All options are available in multiple colors and faceplate styles so you can match your dĂŠcor while meeting code requirements.
How do I choose the right outlet for my room or appliance?
Start by identifying the circuitâs amperage (15 A vs. 20 A) and the environment where the outlet will be installed. Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor locations require GFCI protection by code; bedrooms increasingly require AFCI or dual-function AFCI/GFCI outlets. For areas where you charge phones, tablets, or smart devices, consider a combo USB outlet. Heavy-duty appliances such as window A/C units or space heaters should use a 20 A receptacle on a dedicated 20 A circuit. If you are unsure, our support team or a licensed electrician can guide you.
Do Petros outlets meet national and local electrical codes?
Yes. Every Petros outlet is UL- or ETL-listed and manufactured to comply with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. We also monitor state and municipal amendments, so the products sold on our site are compatible with stricter regional requirements. Always confirm local code with your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) before installation.
Can I install Petros electrical outlets myself or do I need a licensed electrician?
Homeowners comfortable working with household wiring may legally replace like-for-like receptacles in many jurisdictions, but new circuits, GFCI/AFCI upgrades, and commercial work often require a licensed electrician and a permit. Improper wiring can lead to shock, fire, or code violations, so if you lack experience or the job involves more than a simple swap, we strongly recommend hiring a qualified professional.
Are Petros outlets child-safe or tamper-resistant?
Most of our residential receptacles are tamper-resistant (TR) by default, featuring internal spring-loaded shutters that block insertion of foreign objects unless equal pressure is applied to both slots. This design meets NEC 406.12, which mandates TR outlets in virtually all dwelling areas. For added safety, we also carry pop-out and shutter-cover designs to further reduce accidental access by children.
What warranty and support do Petros outlets include?
All Petros-branded outlets carry a limited lifetime mechanical warranty and a two-year no-questions-asked replacement guarantee against manufacturing defects. If you experience any issues, simply contact our customer care via phone, chat, or email with your order number, and we will arrange a replacement or refund. We also provide installation guides, how-to videos, and free technical support to ensure you get the most from your purchase.
