FAQs

What makes the power-distribution outlets you sell in Speedwell “high-efficiency”?

Our outlets are built with low-resistance copper alloy contacts, internal power-management ICs, and optimized bus-bar layouts that reduce idle draw to below 0.1 W. When a device is not actively pulling current, the outlet automatically switches to an ultra-low-power standby mode, cutting vampire loads by up to 85 % compared with standard receptacles. This improves overall circuit efficiency, keeps conductors cooler, and extends the life of connected electronics.

How much energy (and money) can I realistically save by upgrading my existing receptacles?

Savings depend on the number of outlets and the types of devices you leave plugged in. In a typical three-bedroom Speedwell home with 25 receptacles, stand-by power can account for 5–8 % of the annual electric bill. Replacing those with our high-efficiency models can cut that figure to 1–2 %. At the local average rate of 11.7¢ / kWh, homeowners commonly see $60–$110 in yearly savings and a simple payback period of 18–30 months.

Are these high-efficiency outlets compatible with smart-home platforms like Alexa, Google Home, or HomeKit?

Yes. Every receptacle includes an embedded Wi-Fi/Bluetooth LE module that supports Matter, the new industry-wide interoperability standard. Once installed, you can use the free Speedwell Connect app or voice commands through Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to schedule shut-offs, monitor real-time consumption, or create automation scenes (e.g., "kill all vampire loads when I leave"). No additional hub is required.

What safety features are built into the outlets?

Safety is prioritized just as much as efficiency. Each outlet combines GFCI (ground-fault) and AFCI (arc-fault) protection in one unit, meeting the latest NEC 2023 requirements. A built-in thermistor sensor shuts the receptacle off if the internal temperature exceeds 80 °C, preventing overheating behind the wall. Tamper-resistant shutters block foreign objects, and UL 498 / UL 1699 certification ensures third-party testing of all critical components.

Can I install these outlets myself, or do I need a licensed electrician in Speedwell?

If you are comfortable turning off the breaker, testing for voltage, and wiring a standard receptacle, you can perform a like-for-like swap yourself. The mounting footprint is identical to a NEMA 5-15 or 5-20 outlet, and we provide step-by-step instructions plus color-coded terminal screws. However, for GFCI/AFCI combinations or if you are adding new circuits, Speedwell code requires a licensed electrician to pull a permit. We partner with vetted local contractors who offer flat-rate installation packages.

What kind of warranty and certifications cover the product?

All Speedwell high-efficiency outlets carry a 5-year limited manufacturer’s warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The units are UL-listed (File #E482967), ENERGY STAR-certified, and compliant with California Title 20 appliance efficiency regulations. If you register the product within 60 days of purchase, we extend accidental surge protection up to $25,000 for connected equipment.
