Answering Your Frequently Asked Questions
We prioritize our customers' concerns regarding electrical installations and adherence to safety standards. To address your questions comprehensively, we've developed a detailed FAQ section that provides clear and concise answers. Whether you're seeking information on GFCI outlet installation or the advantages of tamper-resistant outlets, our expert insights help you make informed decisions. Below, you'll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions from our clients:
Do GFCI outlets need tamper-resistant features?
According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), all outlets rated at 15 or 20 amperes must include tamper-resistant mechanisms, even those equipped with GFCI protection. GFCI outlets are designed to avert hazardous ground faults by automatically cutting off the electrical current. When combined with tamper-resistant technology—which prevents the insertion of foreign objects—this dual-layered protection greatly enhances overall safety in electrical systems.
Are tamper-resistant outlets child-proof?
Tamper-resistant outlets feature a spring-loaded cover plate that only opens when equal pressure is applied to both slots, significantly lowering the risk of children inserting inappropriate items. However, while these outlets markedly improve safety, it remains crucial to supervise children around electrical outlets to prevent electricity-related accidents entirely.
