If you’ve noticed that the outlets in your bathroom or kitchen have “Test” and “Reset” buttons, that’s a good thing. These are called ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets and have saved more lives than we can count since they were first introduced in 1965. Having been around for more than 50 years, the use of GFCIs has expanded to several areas of the home. If you don’t have GFCIs in areas that are frequently wet or use high-powered appliances, then you might be running a safety risk. Mr. Electric of Norman offers GFCI outlet installation services in Norman, Oklahoma. Our electricians will help you upgrade all the necessary outlets in your home to safer GFCI outlets.

How to Test Your GFCI Outlets
Since GFCI outlets are often in wet and humid areas, experts suggest you test them monthly. Testing your GFCI outlet will confirm that it is working. If your GFCI outlet isn’t working, you should try resetting it first. If it was tripped without your knowledge, then it may just need to be reset. However, if it still is not working, you may need to get professional help installing a GFCI outlet. In order to test your GFCI outlet:
- Press the “Test” button. This will trip the breaker and stop electricity from flowing through the outlet.
- Find a small electronic device, like a nightlight, and put it in the outlet. It should not work or power on.
- Push the “Reset” button. Power should flow through the outlet, allowing the nightlight to light up.
- If hitting the “Reset” button doesn’t restore power, the outlet is faulty. Then, you should call Mr. Electric of Norman for GFCI outlet installation services.
