The price of electricity is confusing for Spanish citizens, who must consult it daily if they want to save on their bill. But the cost of electricity is not the only thing that must be measured because, when changing the electrical installation, increasingly higher budgets are being issued and it can be pay up to 6,000 euros. This is because what at first could be a simple plug change can become complicated and require masonry work.
But things are about to change forever. Surely many homes already have devices connected all day such as the refrigerator, Smart TV, Alexa or the router to connect the WiFi that will, of course, go to a smartphone or tablet, for example. Many of these devices need to be charged from time to time.

For this reason, the electricity bill at the end of the month can rise more than expected, to which we must add that the number of electronic devices in homes means that the number of plugs remains small.
It is true that for a few years, using power strips you can plug in more than one device and although they are in practically every home, they have some limitations. They must be plugged in and the outlets are on the wall and cannot be moved. A renovation would be needed to move them.
Now, fashion is an invention that comes to revolutionize the concept of domestic electricity. These are the so-called ‘surface sockets’ that, as their name indicates, are placed directly on the wall, and there is no need to cut into the wall or modify the home’s electrical system. They are attached to the wall with screws or a simple adhesive.
How is the surface plug that changes the concept of electricity
The surface socket comes in various finishes such as brushed metal or wood effect, and in colors that can match any decor. In addition, they have an improved security system, since you can find some that have a child lock, integrated switches or protectors against power surges.
Some have USB ports or light adjustment systems thanks to which you can change the atmosphere of the room without using other accessories. They include a ground connection, which is the third hole that protects in case any current leakage occurs.
