USB Powerpoint Installation

USB Powerpoints

Metropolitan Electrical Contractors install USB powerpoints. These days the average Australian home has a plethora of laptops, tablets and smartphones that all need charging all of the time. The original solution was to plug the charger into a convenient (or inconvenient) powerpoint and trust that no-one would unplug it to, say, put the kettle on. Sockets in powerpoints and even on powerboards are always in demand. The solution is to do away with the charger and either include on the powerpoint USB sockets or just have a dedicated USB wall socket.

What is a USB Powerpoint?

A USB powerpoint or USB socket looks just like a normal wall socket, but there is one obvious difference. As well as having 1 or 2 three pronged sockets for standard electrical plugs, there are also USB ports. These eliminate the need for a charger that you plug into the normal socket.

Should I update to USB Powerpoints?

USB powerpoints are starting to appear everywhere. You find USB charging points in new houses, hotel rooms, planes and even on public transport. Devices that use USB ports are now so ubiquitous that an update is due in most housholds, especially if you have a lot of visitors, who, like everyone, are always looking to charge their phones. You’ll find that teenagers are drawn to USB points like moths to a flame.

Advantages of USB Powerpoints

If you’re looking for a quick charge, better efficiency and more convenience, USB power points are the go. Direct charging from a USB powerpoint is faster than the old style of charger. And when it comes to charging your phone, faster is definitely better. The other thing about a USB wall socket is that it looks the part and makes it obvious to any guests where to plug in their phone if need be.

There are all sorts of styles and colours of wall plates on offer to match your décor. The USB ports have all the configurations you could need with single dedicated USB powerpoints, single conventional powerpoints with additional USB socket or double powerpoints with dual USB chargers.

No Go Slow

The days of your computer slowing down while watching a video and charging the phone through its USB port at the same time are over with convenient USB sockets to take up the slack.

Are wall sockets with USB safe?

USB wall sockets are safe. All USB wall outlets convert your 240-volt mains electricity into the standard 5 volts used to power electronic devices. Of course they will always consume some power whilst waiting for a device to be plugged into them. However, they have a setting that reduces power when idle.
