Yes some builders are doing it and yes we have these in our home. In our pizza restaurants we adding these at each table. The patrons love them especially at lunchtime.

Don't know about builders.  I've seen one in one or two flip homes though.  I don't have them.  Power outlets are everywhere and I have SOOO many bricks with a USB plug.  Besides, that's old school USB.  USB C is the way to go now!

Why to bother? soon it will be wireless only. Technologies change faster than we adjust to them.

I'm seeing more builders do that as of several years ago. I built my house 13 years ago and it was not the norm... so I don't have them built in that way.

I would think that most homes would be going wireless today...??

No need for USB outlets. You most likely have multiple cords with  connections that have a USB slot.

In the future, your gadgets will connect and re-charge wirelessly.

I am seeing some of these in new builds. None at my house!

No, unfortunately, it is not a universal enduring standard and will change.  

I have replaced a number of these in my home.  Very easy to do.  Just make sure you turn off the breaker!  

Yes, seeing them more and more!

I don't know but I'm heading to Home Depot to get a couple of these. Sweet!

Here they are not, and what would you do USB 2 or 3?

I have seen this, Fred Griffin. 

No we don't have them.  

I did a reno with a client, and we installed the AC outlets with the USB ports. But I don't really see the new home builders doing it.... yet....

Those are getting to be more commonplace. They are only for charging the device. It allows you to use the outlet for something other than the charging transformer.

I have several in my house. It is an easy retrofit about $15-20. But, the electrical outlet must be large enough to accommodate the device.  Some outlets have too many wires in them to allow for the use of these devices.

Fred Griffin I have seen various different outlets in some new buildings.

I have not seen any, and with the multiple amps coming out on these now it would be questionable as to whether I would want one.

Some of our high-end builders are, Fred. There are 1 or 2 others that are low-to mid-range that are installing them but, they are not universally used. I don't think it will be long before they are though. 

Yes, I have them in my home and office. New Construction it is not the standard so far in my market

I have not seen any.

I have to admit, have not noticed in new construction if they area.   When I remodeled my kitchen years ago, I did put one in the kitchen, but have only used it very few times.

Yes in our area in most builders it is an upgrade still, I am sure soon it will be standard!

I am closing on a new build this Friday and yes they are in there.

I haven't seen any in new construction but I have seen these types of outlets in the stores.

I havent seeing it here in Manhattan Fred.

I had them installed them in a listing I had last year.  I also had a few that had night lights installed in the kitchen and bathroom. 

We have not seen them, but a nice touch to reduce wall 'scars'

Some of our builders are still installing Land Lines !!!

They are standard in our area for most builders to install them, I don't have them in my house.

USB charger outlets....Great Room countertop......

Electric charger station  

Yes to new construction. No in my home so far. I think it's a great idea & get rid of the stupid land line hook up on the wall.

They also have ones that are nite lights too.

Yes. 

Yes and yes  :)

If not doing this then wireless is being done. There is a shift taking place

Yes, I believe they are popping up. My fairy house is 18 years old so before its time, but I actually need to do that in a couple of rooms.

Yes.

No.

 NOTE: ONLY usb chargers attached to power outlets are safe. Those associated with Kiosks and provided by many businesses can be traps.

I do not have them although i will be getting them. AND YES, i am seeing new homes with them

Not common, but it might be good to have some in areas where satellite and wireless service is spotty.

no not yet but I have seen some obsolete Ipad docking stations in older homes.

I do not have any in my home.  Don't deal with new construction so I have no idea.

Yes, but I would not worry about it. Technologies change too fast.
