  • GFCI outlets function distinctly from your regular circuit breakers and ordinary outlets, safeguarding your home’s electrical infrastructure. Installation is essential in moist areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. You can spot them by their “test” and “reset” buttons. GFCI outlets supervise electrical currents and interrupt the power supply at the sign of an overflow or imbalance in the current. These outlets act swiftly, even faster than a heartbeat, to prevent electrocution incidents.

  • Ensure that every member of your household knows how GFCI outlets work and can test them. To re-energize the outlet after a power cut, simply press “reset”. Monthly testing of your GFCI outlets is recommended. Follow these steps to test your GFCI outlets:

    • Press the “test” button to discontinue the power to the outlet.
    • Plug in a small device and ensure that the power is no longer on.
    • Press the “reset” button to restore the power supply.

Legal Requirements of GFCI Outlets

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), you must have GFCI outlets in any areas near moisture. Since 1971, they’ve been legally required in areas close to water. Some of the most updated GFCI outlet requirements include:

  • All kitchen receptacles
  • All bathroom receptacles
  • Laundry room receptacles
  • Garages, especially near electric power tools
  • Unfinished basement receptacles
  • Crawlspace receptacles
  • Wet bars
  • Swimming pool and hot tub areas

Signs You Need Outlet Services

The key to ensuring electrical safety in your home lies in being aware of the indicators that signify required outlet services. Be vigilant of the following signs that call for professional outlet services at your residence:

  • Absence of GFCI outlets in areas prone to moisture
  • Evidence of burning or unusual smells
  • Audible buzzing or visible sparks
  • Regularly triggered circuit breakers
  • Loose outlets

  • If your GFCI outlet fails to trip during testing, there could be a malfunction, indicating it may not protect against electrical shock. GFCI outlets usually have a lifespan of about ten years, making regular testing and replacement when defunct vital. We understand the importance of having fully operational GFCI outlets and guarantee quick replacements of faulty ones.
