Outlet Question


Could not find category for outlets so I am asking here. What would be good outlets to change too? I had hospital grade from Home Depot 20 years ago but left them when I moved. Is there any good outlets for about $20 U.S. anyone can recommend? I don't want to go crazy but get something better than what is stock on homes built in the last 4 years. Any suggestions would be great!

just a note not everyone lives in the same state let alone same country so check your local electrical codes.

Your probably going to want to be in code as your insurance company will definitely hang you out to dry if you have a fire and they find non-compliant outlets in your house. 

Then there is the why bother if your house is only 4 yours old. I don't imagine the current outlets have lost their grip already. main difference to the hospital outlets if higher grip force on the plug, more robust, built to higher standards. Not much difference in the conductors etc.  We don't generally plug and unplug our audio equipment multiple times a day so I don't see the need for them. your value may differ though.
