Areas of your home prone to moisture should have safe outlets that won't deliver an electric shock.

They provide a cost-effective means of reducing the risk of electrical hazards while modernizing your home or business to meet current building codes.

Testing a GFCI Outlet
Ensuring that your GFCI outlet is functioning properly requires a monthly test. The easiest way to test your GFCI outlets includes the following steps:
- Press the "test" button to cut off electrical flow to the outlet.
- Insert a night light or similar device that uses minimal electricity to verify that the current is not directed to the receptacle.
- Push the "reset" button to reinstate the power supply to the outlet.
- If your GFCI fails at any point during this test, it is advisable to have it replaced by a professional.
