  • If you aren’t sure whether your house needs GFCI outlets, we want to help you understand what they are and how they work. GFCI outlets are required in certain areas of your home that are prone to a lot of moisture, including bathrooms, kitchens, and garages. The best way to identify a GFCI outlet is that these outlets have “test” and “reset” buttons on their receptacles. A GFCI outlet will cut off power to the outlet if it detects an imbalance in electricity flow. Our licensed and insured electricians can determine your GFCI outlet needs. You can count on us for installing new GFCI outlets in Tulsa, Broken Bow, and Bixby, OK.

  • We recommend leaving GFCI outlet installation to our professional electricians because doing it yourself can be dangerous and may result in inefficient operation. While you’ll want to leave the installation to the pros at Mr. Electric of Tulsa, you’ll want to learn how to test and operate your GFCI outlets. When your GFCI outlet cuts off the power flow, you’ll need to press the “reset” button so power will be restored to the outlet. A GFCI is more sensitive than an electrical panel circuit breaker for increased reliability. Be sure to test all your GFCI outlets every month to ensure they are functioning correctly. Follow these steps to test out your GFCI outlets:

    1. Push the “test” button. Doing this will stop all electrical flow to your outlet.
    2. Plug a small device that uses a minimal amount of electricity into the outlet. A night light is a suitable device you can use to ensure no power is flowing into the receptacle.
    3. Push the “reset” button to resume power flow to the outlet.

  • Now that you know more about GFCI outlets, you’ll also want to understand their limitations. Never use a GFCI outlet with a freezer or refrigerator because these appliances trip outlets by generating electromagnetic interference. Most dryers and stoves should also not be hooked up to GFCI outlets because they require 240-amp power outlets. Appliances with heating elements can trip GFCI outlets, so they should not be paired with irons, toasters, or hair dryers. Do not plug extension cords with a lot of devices into GFCI outlets because they will likely trip. Our team is happy to answer any questions you have, including about the cost to install GFCI outlets.

    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.
