GE Heavy-Duty Grounding Duplex Receptacle Outlet, 15A, 42157

My wall receptacles are old (60 years) and I'm changing all of them (consult an electrician if you're not 100% sure how to!) I noticed a few of the receptacles were getting warm and even sometimes hot, when running high wattage appliances. After (correctly!) replacing them in compliance with codes, the hot receptacles are now operating at room temperature, even under a maximum load of 1800 watts for less than 30 minutes, and a continuous load of 1400 w for 12 hours. My home's wiring is rated for 20 amps, but the 15 amp receptacles will help you prevent overloading your home's wiring; you should always choose wall receptacles that are a few amps lower than what your electrical wiring is rated for. Inspect your wall receptacles, and/or have an electrician assess them. A thermal imaging camera can help you see hot receptacles. If you're running <1400 W and they're hot, they need to be replaced! Pay special attention to high wattage appliances that run continuously, like air conditioners. Please like this review, so others will be aware:)
