Review on Dottie WPI100 Wall Plate Insulation Gasket, 100-Pack: Enhancing Electrical Safety & Efficiency by Johnny Price

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Universal outlet insulation

I live in an old brick house in New England and bought this to reduce the strong drafts that get into my outlets. What I loved about the plug and switch combo was that I could just pull out all the pieces I needed for each outlet. Some reviews mention that banging out the right parts can be tricky, but I had no problems with it. Of course, you can make some mistakes when you're in a hurry, but just take your time and the versatility more than makes up for the hassle of breaking through the foam. Switches and splitters recess outlets and switches slightly into the wall, making dimmer settings a bit difficult (I use this Lutron dimmer: Lutron DVCL-153P-WH Diva Dimmer for CFL, LED, halogen, and dimmable incandescent). Pears (1 pack), white). I assume this is just a compromise you will encounter with any product. My outlets are not on studs so this may not be an issue if yours is. This is a very minor annoyance that's worth the extra isolation.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
