What Is a GFCI Outlet?

Ground fault circuit interrupter outlets are designed to monitor minor variations in electrical charge. It can be most easily identified by the “test” and “reset” buttons found on the faceplate. To ensure your GFCI outlets are working, press the “test” button, then plug in a device that uses minimal power to ensure no power is running through it. Press the “reset” button to allow power into the outlet again. GFCI outlets are required in many places inside and outside the home where water is present, including:

  • Spa & Pool Area (1971)
  • Exterior Spaces (1973)
  • Bathrooms (1975)
  • Garages (1978)
  • Kitchen Countertops (1987)
  • Crawlspaces and Basements (1990)
  • Wet Bars (1993)
  • Laundry and Utility Sinks (2005)

  • Burn Marks – Improperly installed and old outlets can cause a significant injury risk. Replacement is necessary if you notice any soot or burn marks around the plug holes.
  • Sparks – If sparks ignite when you plug or unplug an appliance from your outlet, it’s a sign there’s something wrong with the connection, outlet, or wiring.
  • Required Access – You shouldn’t need extension cords to reach your basement, garage, shed, or bedroom outlets. Let our team install a new outlet or switch to make your home’s electricity more accessible.
  • Loose Receptacle – Your outlets shouldn’t shift, push, or pull when plugging in an appliance. Loose receptacles are more prone to causing house fires.
  • Two-Pronged Outlets – Two-pronged outlets are dangerous because they don’t have a grounding port. If there were a sudden electricity surge to the outlet, the additional voltage would pass through your device or you.
  • Burning Smell – When plugging an appliance into your outlet causes a burning smell, it could mean there’s an issue occurring in the connection.
  • Damage – If the outlet faceplate is cracked, melted, or shows any sign of damage, it’s crucial to ensure the outlet hasn’t been impacted.
