  • GFCI outlets operate differently from regular circuit breakers and outlets, protecting your home’s electrical system. Installation is crucial in wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. They are identified by their “test” and “reset” buttons. GFCI outlets monitor electrical currents and cut off the power supply when they detect excess or imbalance in the current. These outlets act swiftly, even faster than a heartbeat, to avoid electrocution.

  • Everyone in your household must understand how GFCI outlets operate and can check them. To restore the outlet after a power failure, press “reset”. We recommend testing your GFCI outlets monthly. Here's how to test your GFCI outlets:

    1. Press the “test” button to stop the power to the outlet.
    2. Plug in a small device and confirm that the power is off.
    3. Press the “reset” button to regain the power supply.

GFCI Outlets Legal Requirements

As per the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets must be installed in any areas exposed to moisture. Since 1971, they’ve been a legal necessity in any area of property near water. Some of the updated GFCI outlet requirements include:

  • All kitchen receptacles
  • Wet bar areas
  • All bathroom receptacles
  • Swimming pool, sauna, and hot tub areas
  • Laundry room receptacles
  • Garage receptacles
  • Unfinished basement receptacles
  • Crawlspace receptacles

Indicators You Require Outlet Services

The secret to ensuring electrical safety in your home lies in recognizing the signs that suggest outlet services are needed. Stay alert for the following signs that demand professional outlet services at your home:

  • Lack of GFCI outlets in moisture-exposed areas
  • Signs of burning or unusual odors
  • Loose outlets
  • Audible sizzling or visible sparking
  • Frequently tripped circuit breakers

  • If your GFCI outlet doesn't trip during a test, it may be defective, indicating that it won't protect against an electrical shock. GFCI outlets usually last about ten years, making recurrent testing and replacement essential when they become defective. We recognize the importance of having fully working GFCI outlets and ensure prompt replacements of faulty ones.
