A pop-up outlet lies flat on a surface and with a small push, the outlet extends upwards to reveal both standard and USB outlets. Many different models are available with features like charging bases and extra USB ports. An electrician may install the outlets in one or more rooms as you choose.
As you consider electrical upgrades in your home, learn how a pop-up outlet will benefit multiple rooms within the home and help save a lot of space and hassle over time.
1. Kitchen
The battle for kitchen counter space always creates issues. In some cases, you try to fit all of our appliances into a single area with outlets. In other instances, you may need a tablet or phone to follow recipes, but need a close outlet to keep them charged.
The installation of a pop-up outlet helps expand outlet use in a kitchen. For example, you do not need to stretch the cord of a blender across the counter. Use a pop-up outlet to plug the blender in and have easy access when you need it. When closed down, many types of pop-up outlets have waterproof features so spills and messes do not impact the outlets or cause electrical issues.
2. Bathroom
At any given moment in the bathroom, you could need an outlet for hair accessories including a curling iron or blow dryer. A pop-up outlet offers instant access, along with USB ports ideal for smaller accessories.
For example, when you need to charge a portable trimmer or battery-powered toothbrush, a USB port comes in handy and supplies you with the power while leaving the larger plugs open for bathroom tools like hair straighteners. Once
you're
done, the pop-up outlet pushes closed and your bathroom counters are left clean and organized.
3. Office Desk
An office desk may easily become messy when multiple devices and chargers create a maze of cords to reach power strips and outlets. Easily organize an office area with the installation of a pop-up outlet.
An office area may utilize the USB ports more than any other room in the home. Use USB gadgets the ports support including phone chargers, mini fans, desk lights, and devices like tablets. The standard
outlets are ideal for charging power banks, laptops, or portable DVD players.
The quick access to the plugs is ideal if you mostly work with portable devices. You will avoid constantly reaching down or behind a desk to plug items in. The dual-sided plugs allow you to remain organized and have plenty of space to write, type, and do other work tasks.
4. Deck Table
Not only will an electrician install pop-up outlets on the interior of your home, but the waterproof
options allows
you to install the pop-up outlet in various locations in your home's outdoor areas, including the deck.
While you enjoy the outdoors, accessible plugs could be absent or out of reach. With the installation of a deck table pop-up outlet, you will have quick and easy access to outlets. If you need your phone and the battery is low, the outlets provide quick access without the need to go inside.
Many outdoor items require outlets as well. For example, you may have an electric bug zapper to help ward off gnats and mosquitoes. If you grill, you may want to plug in food accessories like an air fryer. With everything outdoors, you do not need to run back and forth to the kitchen while you prepare a meal.
Entertainment wise, the USB ports provide options for extra lights and music speakers. Choose an ideal installation location that fits your needs for the area.
