What Are Child Proof Outlets?

When childproofing your home, you might stick plastic outlet covers into the electrical outlets throughout your house. This is a popular option, but it’s not effective. These can draw your toddlers to your outlets – and present them with a challenge to remove the cover.

A better solution is childproof outlets. These prevent kids from inserting objects into them, helping children avoid electrocution, shock, and other injuries – or even death.

Call our electrical contractors at Sasquatch Heat Pumps for childproof outlets services in Mid Island, BC, or the surrounding areas.

Benefits of Child Proof Outlets

There are numerous benefits to installing childproof outlets in your house. Some of the main advantages include:

Make you alert: Having child proof outlets installed in your house will make you more aware of the outlets and help prevent you from keeping an appliance plugged in or cords exposed to children.

Protect your children: While you might be worried about toddlers placing toys, jewelry, or other items into the outlets, they might also try to plug in actual appliances. This can put them in danger if they plug in a device that could be dangerous to them.

Protect pets: Your pets can also be curious about your outlets and can harm themselves. Childproof devices can protect them as well.

Protect your computer and other electronics. Call us for dedicated computer circuit installations.

Child Proof Devices: What You Should Avoid

There are many options for finding childproof devices for your outlets. Like so many products, the various types have pros and cons.

At Sasquatch Heat Pumps, our electricians recommend avoiding devices that require you to screw plugs in place. These can be dangerous and put your house at risk for a fire.

You should also avoid using plastic plugs that are inserted into your outlets. These might prevent kids from sticking objects—or their fingers—in outlets, but they can also be choking hazards if a child pries one out.
