Easy install USB outlets

By Bill Streb Owner, Streb Electric

Homes keep getting smarter. As our customers have come to rely on their smart phones and tablets more and more, we’ve been installing USB-enabled outlets to keep up with them.

This is a regular electrical outlet that also has two USB ports. Perfect for a bedroom, kitchen, living room or any place you like to charge your devices, this convenience saves you from needing a clunky wall adapter. The outlets can serve USB-A, USB-B and USB-C ports, whichever your devices operate on.

I personally installed them in several rooms in my home. I even put one in the bar in my basement so friends know they can charge while hanging out.

Give us a call and one of our electricians can come out to convert several outlets in your home and check out your wiring while they are there.

Another popular service is smart lighting.

Working with the best in the industry, Caseta by Lutron, we install smart wireless switches you can operate from a remote control.

You can manage dimmable indoor or outdoor lights via a master hub and program them to suit your tastes. The device includes a Sunset Tracker feature to control when the lights come on without fail. The Smart Away feature randomly turns lights on and off throughout the evening to give the illusion you’re home, even if you’re away for the night or the week.

Customers tell us it’s nice to be able to turn on lights before they come home at night, so they don’t have to walk into a dark home.
