Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets were invented in 1965 and are responsible for saving countless people from getting electrocuted. You can identify GFCI outlets by their “Test” and “Reset” buttons, and hopefully, these outlets are already in your bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room. In rooms with frequent wetness or moisture, GFCI outlets are essential safety devices. In many instances, the National Electrical Code requires them. If your home isn’t updated with GFCI outlets in the Twin Cities, including South Metro and St. Paul, MN, let the experts at Mr. Electric of St. Paul perform the quick and careful GFCI outlet installation services your domestic spaces need. Our electricians will inspect each of your house’s outlets and provide a detailed recommendation for locations you should place GFCI outlets. You can also learn more about our GFCI outlet installation process and schedule an appointment at your home!

Does the National Electrical Code Require GFCI Outlets?
Since GFCI outlets were first introduced, their safety has been proven so effective that the National Electrical Code has expanded the scope of their use. Initially, the National Electrical Code only required GFCI outlets around spas and swimming pools. Today, the electrical code mandates installing these outlets in nearly every room with regular moisture or wetness. The following list includes all rooms where you should have GFCI outlets as required by the 2020 Electrical Code. If any of these areas in your home lack GFCI outlets, Mr. Electric of St. Paul can get you up to code with quick and careful installations. GFCI outlets are required in the following areas:
- Around pools and spas since 1971
- On exterior outlets since 1973
- In bathrooms since 1975
- In garages since 1987
- On kitchen countertops since 1987
- In crawlspaces and unfinished basements since 1990
- In wet bars since 1993
- In Laundry and utility rooms since 2005

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.
