FAQs
What makes your state-of-the-art electrical outlets different from traditional receptacles?
Our outlets combine several next-generation features in one compact device: built-in USB-A & USB-C Power Delivery ports (up to 60 W), Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity for app or voice control, real-time energy-use monitoring, tamper-resistant shutters, and an integrated GFCI/AFCI module for surge and arc-fault protection. All components are UL-listed and designed to exceed the latest 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, giving you more safety, convenience, and data than a standard duplex outlet can deliver.
Are these advanced outlets compatible with the existing wiring in my Speedwell home?
Yesâ95 % of Speedwell residences use 120-volt, 15- or 20-amp branch circuits with copper wiring, which is exactly what our smart outlets are built for. During our free site assessment we verify wire gauge, box depth, and neutral availability. If your home still has two-wire or aluminum conductors, we can upgrade the circuit or install an approved pigtail adapter to ensure full code compliance before installing the new receptacle.
Can smart outlets really help lower my energy bills?
Absolutely. Each outlet measures the wattage flowing through it and sends usage data to our mobile app. You can set schedules, occupancy-based auto-off rules, and peak-rate alerts from Appalachian Electric Cooperative or TVA time-of-use plans. Customers typically see 5â12 % annual savings, especially when controlling standby loads such as game consoles, chargers, and entertainment centers that otherwise draw power 24/7.
How long does a professional outlet upgrade take, and will my power be off the whole time?
A single outlet swap takes roughly 20â30 minutes, while a whole-room upgrade of 8â10 receptacles averages two hours. We isolate only the circuit weâre working on, so the rest of your home remains powered. At the end of installation we restore electricity, pair the devices to your Wi-Fi network, and walk you through the appâso total downtime per circuit is typically under 15 minutes.
Do your products meet Speedwell and Tennessee electrical codes?
Yes. All devices carry UL or ETL safety marks, conform to NEC 2023 Articles 210.7, 406, 422, and 427, and satisfy state amendments adopted by the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance. Our licensed electricians pull permits with Claiborne Countyâs building department when required and schedule the final inspection to guarantee every installation is fully approved.
What kind of maintenance or updates will I need after installation?
The hardware itself is virtually maintenance-freeâjust occasional dusting like any outlet. For smart functions, the firmware updates automatically via your home Wi-Fi; youâll receive a phone notification and can choose to apply the update instantly or schedule it overnight. We recommend pressing the built-in test button on GFCI/AFCI models once a month and checking the appâs diagnostics screen annually to confirm that protection circuitry is functioning properly.
