USB Outlets for Your Remodel | Blackout Electric Colorado

Modern Charging Solutions for Your Home

Let's be honest, our homes are overflowing with devices. Phones, tablets, smartwatches, Bluetooth speakers, and even kitchen appliances now need USB ports. So when planning a remodel, whether it's your kitchen, basement, or home office, one of the smartest upgrades you can make is adding USB outlets or a dedicated charging station.

At Blackout Electric, we help homeowners across Peyton, Colorado Springs, and surrounding areas bring their homes into the modern age with smart, convenient electrical upgrades. Here's why USB outlets are becoming a remodel must-have, and how we can help you install them the right way.

🔌 What Are USB Outlets?

USB outlets are wall receptacles that include built-in USB ports alongside traditional plug-in outlets. They allow you to charge phones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices directly, no bulky adapter required.

They come in several styles, including:

• Standard outlets with dual USB ports
• Outlets with USB-C fast charging
• Pop-up charging stations for kitchen counters or desks

📱 Why Install USB Outlets During a Remodel?

Remodeling is the perfect time to upgrade your home's electrical infrastructure. You're already opening walls, relocating outlets, and adding circuits, so adding USB functionality is a smart, cost-effective add-on.

Here's why homeowners love them:

• ✅ Reduces countertop and nightstand clutter
• ✅ Frees up traditional outlets for other appliances
• ✅ Supports modern fast-charging needs
• ✅ Adds resale value and modern appeal
• ✅ No more searching for lost charging blocks!

💡 Where to Install USB Outlets or Charging Stations

Depending on your remodel plans, we recommend adding USB charging in areas like:

• Kitchen islands and countertops
• Home offices and desks
• Living rooms or media rooms
• Bedrooms (especially near nightstands)
• Basement game rooms or theaters

⚠️ Safety & Installation Matters

Like any electrical upgrade, USB outlet installation should be done by a licensed electrician. We ensure your wiring can handle the extra load, meet code requirements, and provide clean, safe power to your devices.

At Blackout Electric, we install high-quality, tamper-resistant USB outlets that are tested for long-term performance.
