    Why don’t American houses have switches on sockets?

      Depends on the house. Relatively modern homes will have them, primarily in places like kitchens and bathrooms

      We have lower wattage outlets. About half of what is used in the UK so they don’t pose serious danger if touched accidentally

    I don’t use AC or the heater. The fridge is plugged all the time but other than that everything is typically disconnected or unplugged.

    Tax credits are useless if you don’t make enough money to get any of the credits.

    We have radon problems in our area. So unfortunately we can’t make it that air tight
