A variety of plug sockets

There are a variety of different plug sockets available:

Double or single plug sockets
TV and shaver sockets
Smart plug sockets – these can be connected to an app so they can be controlled remotely
RCD sockets – these have a built-in RCD to cut off the power if a fault is detected.

Wi-Fi extender sockets – these boost connectivity to the internet
Metal clad sockets – ideal for use with high usage or protection against accidental damage
USB sockets – these include USB sockets to charge phones etc

Extra sockets to maximise potential

As well as walls, electrical sockets can be installed on worktops or desks, and this may be especially useful if you work from home, or from a garage or workshop. Thinking about how you can best make use of the space often requires the installation of new sockets so you can access electricity easily and safely, without the overuse of extension leads, which can be dangerous, particularly if you use a lot of high voltage equipment at once.
