  • You may have noticed GFCI outlets with "Test" and "Reset" buttons in high-moisture areas. Today's building codes for residences and businesses require these types of outlets when there is a risk of electrical shock in rooms like kitchens and bathrooms. We recommend GFCI outlet installation to help prevent shock, fires, and other safety hazards. A GFCI outlet shuts off power immediately if there is an imbalance in the flow of electricity.

Operating & Testing a GFCI Outlet


A GFCI outlet is simple to use. When we install your new electrical outlet, all you need to do is press the "Reset" button if the power stops. A GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to any current variation and will immediately react. They are designed to stop power flow because a shock could reach your heart. It's essential to routinely check your GFCI outlet's performance. All you need to do is:

  1. Push the "Test" button to stop electrical flow.
  2. Plug in a device like a night light that requires minimal power.
  3. Make sure no electrical power is flowing to the night light.
  4. Push the "Reset" button.

Where Are GFCI Outlets Required?

GFCI outlets have been required in residential structures since 1971. They were traditionally required at homes along walls surrounding a swimming pool or near swimming pool equipment. Today, GFCI outlets must be installed anywhere there is a risk of electrical shock due to potential water exposure. The required areas for GFCI outlets include:

  • Swimming Pool and spa areas
  • Bathrooms
  • Exterior of your home

  • Wet bars
  • Garages
