GFCI Outlet Installation and Troubleshooting
GFCI outlets, or ground fault circuit interrupters, are important safety devices that help protect people from electrical shock.
Where GFCI Protection Is Commonly Needed
GFCI protection is commonly required in wet or damp locations such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, exterior outlets, and areas near sinks or water-connected appliances.
Why GFCI Outlets Trip
A GFCI device monitors current loss. If it senses a possible shock hazard, it shuts off power quickly. Frequent tripping may be caused by moisture, a damaged cord, a connected device, a wiring issue, or a faulty GFCI outlet.
GFCI Repairs for Safety and Inspection Reports
