My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Electrical Duplex Outlets, Recommendations Please !

13 years ago

I am in the process of replacing the duplex electrical outlets (15 amp) in my home. I used some cheap outlets from the big box stores a year ago and the "Pin Retention" is just lousy. Anything plugged in won't stay plugged in.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a product or source to use ??

Thanks !!!!
