Q. Can any other type of outlet be replaced?
A: Yes, any standard dual socket outlet can be replaced with a Power2U*
Q: What's the difference between the main GFCI and others in a series?
A: A GFCI outlet (the kind that has a TEST and a RESET button on it) is the device that
protects the entire electrical circuit from severe or fatal electrical shocks. There is no
difference between the main GFCI outlet and an outlet wired in series after the GFCI
outlet, both are equally protected. However, you cannot replace the main GFCI outlet
with a Power2U outlet and still have the same shock protection, the Power2U is not a
GFCI outlet.
Q: What if my GFCI is located in a circuit breaker panel?
A: No problem! You can replace any outlet protected by a GFCI circuit breaker with a
Power2U as long as the outlet box is large enough per NEC regulations
(www.necplus.org) to accommodate the Power2U.
Q: What if my installation location doesn't have a 14 cubic inch outlet box?
A: You will need to replace the existing outlet box with a larger box that meets NEC
regulations to accommodate the Power2U. Your local home center will have
replacement outlet boxes (called "boxes with ears" or "old work" boxes), and a set of
hold-it straps (commercially available as "Madison Straps") to accomplish this task. If
you are not familiar with this process, a licensed and bonded electrician can do it for
you. This process can get quite involved and may require minor drywall patching when
complete, depending on your existing outlet box installation.
Q: My house uses AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interruptor) protected outlets.
If you are unsure or in doubt about installation, please call a licensed electrician!
*Read the additional FAQ's on this page for additional details.
The only negative for me is the easy of installation. It is to easy. Electrical connections are made with wire nuts. I would have preferred integrated screw terminals as found on traditional power outlet plug assemblies.
I like the fact that the unit does not power up for charging unless a type A USB plug it inserted.
I have not opinion on USB charge for type C. I have not tested it.
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from NewerTech Power2U AC 15A Outlet w/ 2x USB Charging Ports, 2x AC 110/120V - Ivory Color..Here's the catch: these things are big on the inside. Other posters have mentioned it and I'm just amplifying that point. Make sure you have clearance in the box. My house was constructed in 2009, so the boxes are the modern larger boxes, but even still, my wife's outlet does protrude off the wall ever-so-slightly, as there are several groups of wires that junction at her location (and, yes, this involved a good bit of figuring out on my end to get it wired). This isn't a design flaw or an indicator of anything wrong with the product; it's just the reality of the technology and how it has to be physically configured. That being said, it looks fine and is functional in both locations. Just be aware of it.
Another poster mentioned that the spring-loaded doors on the USB outlets were difficult to open. I have not experienced that at all. All four outlets opened easily and I was able to place the plug into the outlets with no problem. It may be possible that they over-tightened the face plate. I can see how that might cause such an issue. Does it require two hands to plug something in? Yes. But this is not some massive inconvenience. It simply allows the outlet to shut off the USB ports when not in use (I just leave them plugged in 24/7... it's USB... it doesn't draw *that* much power--I mean, seriously, most USB devices have power draw measured in milliwatts).
Bottom line, if, like I had been, you've been eyeballing this for a little while, pull the trigger. It's worth it.
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from (*) Newer Technology Power2U AC Wall Outlet with 2 x USB Charging Ports, 2 x AC 110/120V - White Color..
