GFCI/GFI Protection

GFCI, or GFI outlets are essential for protecting against electrical shock in moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces. These outlets are designed with built-in circuit breakers that automatically shut off power when a ground fault is detected. We can install or replace GFCI outlets to help bring your home up to code and add an extra layer of protection for your family and property.

How does a GFCI differ from a GFI?

A ground fault circuit interrupter and a ground fault interrupter (GFI) are the same thing. While GFCI is more commonly used, the terms are interchangeable.

Is it important to hire a professional electrical company?

Electricity is a powerful force that can pose significant risks if not managed appropriately. Undertaking electrical work independently can lead to serious safety hazards and potential legal repercussions if issues arise. For this reason, it is advisable to engage a professional electrical contractor for any electrical projects. Our electricians are highly trained and experienced, and they stay current with all relevant codes and regulations. This commitment ensures that your electrical work is performed safely and accurately, providing you with peace of mind.

How can I tell an outlet is a GFCI?

A GFCI outlet differs from a standard outlet in that it has a test and reset button built into the faceplate. Usually, one button is red and the other is black, but not always. Built-in sensors monitor the amount of electricity flowing through the wire.

Can all outlets be converted to GFCI?

A standard outlet can’t be turned into a GFCI, but you can replace almost any outlet with one. If correctly wired, a ground fault circuit interrupter will protect downstream outlets and shut them off if there’s a surge or ground fault.

How often should I have my home’s electrical system inspected?

It’s recommended to have your home’s electrical system inspected every 3 to 5 years, or sooner if you notice any issues like flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or outdated wiring. Inspections are especially important when buying a new home, after major renovations, or if your home is over 25 years old. Regular inspections help identify potential hazards early, ensure code compliance, and keep your electrical system safe and reliable.

What we check during an electrical inspection?

Our inspections ensure your home complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and is free from potential hazards like shock or fire. Key areas we examine include:

* Meter: Verifying secure installation and checking for rust or defects.

* Wiring: Inspecting for damaged, unprotected, or frayed wires.

* Wire Type: Ensuring the correct type of wiring is in use.

* Electrical Panel: Checking for proper-sized breakers, load capacity, and signs of corrosion or damage.

* Junction Boxes: Confirming accessibility, visibility, and proper coverage.

* Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs): Ensuring they function correctly.

* Outlets: Testing for safety and secure switch plates.

* Grounding: Verifying proper grounding of the electrical system.
