  • GFCI Outlet Installation & Wiring

Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are designed to prevent shocks and electrocution. When the outlet detects a ground fault, it stops the flow of electricity. A ground fault is any condition where the electricity is no longer following the intended path.

Our trained electricians have the expertise and a proven track record of getting jobs done on time, on budget, and with safety in mind.

Where Do You Need GFCI Outlet Installation?

GFCI outlets are necessary near water. For your building’s electrical systems, water is the most common cause of a ground fault. As such, you need GFCI outlets in the following locations:

  • Kitchens
  • Bathrooms Garages
  • Outdoor areas
  • Anywhere damp or within six feet of a water source

Is GFCI Outlet Installation That Important?

Yes! GFCI outlets are often the difference between life and death. By shutting down the power within milliseconds of a ground fault or short circuit, GFCI outlets prevent painful electrocutions from becoming lethal ones.

Yes, even with a GFCI outlet, electrocution still hurts. Yet prolonged exposure to electricity is what kills people or otherwise causes permanent injury. Such dangers are what the GFCI outlet prevents.

Benefits of a GFCI Outlet Installation

The biggest benefit of a GFCI electrical outlet installation is safety.

Put simply, GFCI outlets save lives, and they do so all the time. GFCI outlets also keep your home safe. Faulty outlets or bad wiring can lead to stray sparks. However, because GFCI outlets will cut power when something is wrong, they reduce the risk of house fires, as well. You may have seen a few GFCI outlets around your home already. As a safer option, you could easily swap out all of your outlets for GFCI ones to reduce risk even further.
