Do Houses Use 15 or 20 Amp Outlets?

Most homes in Long Island are wired with a mix of 15 amp and 20 amp electrical outlets, and knowing which one you need comes down to power demand. 15 amp outlets are standard in bedrooms and living rooms—ideal for low-power devices like lamps and chargers. 20 amp outlets, however, are built for larger appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, and power tools.

If you're planning a kitchen upgrade, home office build-out, or garage renovation, our electricians can determine which outlet type is safest and most efficient for your needs. Improper pairing of outlet type and circuit load can be dangerous—we’ll make sure everything matches up exactly right.

What’s the Difference Between 15 Amp and 20 Amp Outlets?

The difference lies in their capacity. A 15 amp outlet typically handles up to 1,800 watts, while a 20 amp outlet can carry up to 2,400 watts. Physically, a 20 amp outlet has a horizontal slot that allows it to accept plugs designed for higher-load equipment.

Our electricians will evaluate your wiring, breaker capacity, and power usage before recommending an upgrade. Don’t guess—get the job done right the first time with a trusted team that knows the code inside and out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Outlets

How do I know if I need to replace my outlets?
If you notice outlets that feel warm, look discolored, spark when in use, or no longer hold plugs securely, it's time to call an electrician. Outdated outlets may also lack modern safety features like GFCI protection, which is required in kitchens, bathrooms, and other wet locations.
Can I upgrade to USB outlets without changing my wiring?
In most cases, yes. USB outlets can be installed in place of traditional receptacles, and as long as your wiring is up to code, the switch is simple. Our team can check your system and complete the upgrade without hassle.
Are smart outlets worth it?
Absolutely. Smart outlets offer remote control, energy usage tracking, and integration with your smart home system. They're especially useful for controlling lamps, holiday lights, or any device you want to schedule or monitor remotely.
Is it legal to install my own electrical outlets in New York?
While homeowners may legally perform some electrical work on their own properties, New York codes are strict, and incorrect installation can void insurance or result in fines. Hiring a licensed electrical outlet contractor like Premier Electric ensures compliance and safety.
How much does it cost to install new outlets?
Outlet installation costs vary depending on outlet type, wiring accessibility, and total number of units. We offer upfront estimates with no surprises. Contact us today to get a custom quote based on your specific needs.
