How to install a USB socket

In this video, I'm replacing a standard double wall socket with a modern faceplate that includes built-in fast charging featuring both a USB-A and USB-C port. These new-style sockets are ideal for kitchens, bedrooms, or anywhere you regularly charge phones, tablets, or other USB devices. The upgrade not only helps reduce clutter by removing the need for bulky chargers but also provides faster and more convenient charging, especially for devices like iPhones and newer Androids.

Whether you're looking to modernise your home or just want a more practical solution for charging, this guide walks you through the process step-by-step.
