  • GFCI outlets offer advanced safety features that traditional outlets don't. They might not look different at first glance, but these outlets constantly monitor the amount of electricity transferred through them. If the device you have plugged in suddenly pulls more electricity from the outlet or begins to leak electricity, the GFCI outlet will trip, grounding the excess electricity within 1/30th of a second.

  • GFCI outlets are a great measure of protection for your home, but they’re not suitable for every room or appliance. Most heavy-duty appliances, such as washers and dryers, require outlets that can draw higher amounts of electricity. Some devices can produce heat or electromagnetic interference that can cause GFCI outlets to trip regularly. Devices like space heaters, irons, and toaster ovens can cause some GFCI outlets to trip frequently due to the excess heat they give off. It’s also important to avoid plugging extension cords or power strips into GFCI outlets whenever possible. The amount of electricity required to power multiple devices can prevent GFCI outlets from working properly.

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
