Home › Wall socket with USB
Electrician in Skellefteå
Charge your phone, tablet and headphones straight from the wall — without adapters that go missing. We replace an existing wall socket with a USB socket where both the socket and installation are included in the fixed price.
The socket we install has both USB-A and USB-C, so old cables work just as well as new ones. The standard 230 V outlet remains in the same faceplate — you lose nothing, you just lose the chargers. Smart by the bedside table, at the desk and in the kitchen.
By the bedside table, where the phone charges every night anyway. At the desk, where the laptop and headphones otherwise compete for chargers. And in the kitchen, where the tablet sits propped against the wall with a recipe on screen. A socket with built-in USB makes chargers redundant right where small electronics congregate.
The sockets we install charge phones and tablets at normal speed, and the USB-C port supports fast-charging for most phones. A laptop with high charging power still needs its own charger — and it fits in the 230 V outlet in the same faceplate.
In most homes it is a straight swap: existing wall socket out, USB socket into the same back-box. USB sockets are slightly deeper than standard sockets, so shallow back-boxes can be tight — the electrician spots this immediately and resolves it on site. In Skellefteå's residential areas from the 1960s and 70s, such as Anderstorp and Morö Backe, back-boxes are usually standard depth and the swap is complete in under an hour per socket.
The USB sockets we install meet the same safety standard as the rest of the home's points: tamper protection as standard and correct earthing of the 230 V part. The electronics in the socket are also kind to batteries — the phone receives what it requests and no more, just like with the original charger.
Yes, but the wet zone rules govern placement just as for regular sockets. You will be told what applies in your bathroom at the visit.
The ports are built for thousands of connections and usually last as long as the socket itself. If a port gives up after many years, the whole socket is replaced — a quick job.
Yes, that is the smartest way to use the visit. Add more replacements directly in the booking and the price per socket drops.
Yes, the same installation applies there — and in cottages with few sockets the combination of 230 V plus USB is extra useful, since the chargers are never the ones left behind in town.
