So many of our gadgets today are charged through USB cables and connectors. Between smartphones, tablets, earpods, cameras and smartwatches, one household alone can have up to twenty of these devices. Did you know that charging them using adapters can result in your electrical circuits overloading, which causes power shortages and sometimes fires?
Do away with your charging adapters and upgrade your powerpoints at home to ones with built-in USB ports. Installing them has a number of benefits that may surprise you.
Aside from keeping you safe and giving you peace of mind, USB powerpoints reduce your carbon footprint too.
1. They’re safer
As mentioned, using extra adapters and chargers on a powerpoint can overload it and poses a huge fire risk. Installing USB-enabled powerpoints in many areas in your home reduces the risk of overloading.The benefits to your well-being alone is well-worth making the change.
2. Have more charging stations
Having multiple charging stations allows you to conveniently charge your gadgets anywhere in your home. Need a recipe from your phone but it’s losing battery life? Charge it in the kitchen. Need an instructional video with something you’re building outside? You can charge your tablet there as well. Basically, any other gadget that uses a standard USB connection can be charged wherever it’s most convenient for you.
3. More durable
Never again do you have to replace a misplaced or damaged charger or adapter, which, let’s face it, is almost always likely to happen. That’s now money saved in electric bills and having to buy new chargers every time they break or get lost.
4. More environmentally friendly
As mentioned, we’re prone to losing or damaging our chargers. Where do these chargers go when they’ve reached the end of their service? In the trash and, eventually, landfills. We buy new ones and the cycle continues. Imagine just how many people all over the world use chargers. If everybody stopped using a charger, there wouldn’t be the need to keep producing them and then chucking them away. So aside from keeping you safe and giving you peace of mind, USB powerpoints reduce your carbon footprint too.
