FAQs
What types of electrical outlets does Reliance offer on the Superior Performance Electrical page?
Our Superior Performance Electrical line includes standard 15-amp duplex receptacles, 20-amp commercial-grade outlets, GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets, tamper-resistant child-safety receptacles, USB-integrated outlets, and weather-resistant models for outdoor use. All variants are available in multiple colors and face-plate styles to match residential, commercial, and industrial design requirements.
How do I choose the right outlet for my specific application?
First determine the circuit amperage: 15-amp circuits call for standard duplex outlets, while kitchen, garage, and workshop circuits often require 20-amp receptacles. Use GFCI outlets in areas with potential water exposure (bathrooms, kitchens, outdoors). Select tamper-resistant models for child-occupied spaces and weather-resistant GFCIs for exterior locations. If you charge phones or tablets frequently, choose a USB-combo outlet to free up plug space. Our product filters let you sort by amperage, safety feature, environment, and finish to quickly locate the ideal outlet.
Are Reliance outlets compatible with smart-home or energy-monitoring systems?
Yes. Several Superior Performance outlets include built-in Wi-Fi or Zigbee radios that allow on/off scheduling, energy-use tracking, and voice control through Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. For traditional outlets, you can install them downstream of a Reliance smart breaker or place a Reliance smart plug adapter between the load and receptacle for full integration without rewiring.
What safety certifications and standards do these outlets meet?
Every Superior Performance Electrical outlet is UL or ETL listed and complies with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC). GFCI models meet UL 943 requirements, tamper-resistant units conform to NEC 406.12, and weather-resistant products satisfy UL 498 and NEC 406.9(B). All components are RoHS compliant and manufactured in ISO 9001:2015 facilities to ensure consistent quality and safety.
Can I install these outlets myself, or should I hire a licensed electrician?
If you are replacing an existing outlet on a like-for-like basis and are comfortable turning off the breaker, verifying zero voltage, and following NEC wiring color codes, a DIY install is possible. Each outlet ships with step-by-step instructions and wiring diagrams. However, for first-time GFCI installations, upgrades that change amperage, or any work on aluminum wiring, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician to guarantee code compliance and personal safety.
What warranty and customer support does Reliance provide for electrical outlets?
Superior Performance Electrical outlets are covered by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and a 3-year performance guarantee. If a product fails under normal use, we will repair or replace it at no cost. Technical support is available 7 days a week via phone, live chat, or email, and our online knowledge base includes installation videos, troubleshooting guides, and downloadable spec sheets.
