What Is a GFCI Outlet?
The term GFCI refers to a ground fault circuit interrupter. This is a modern and safer version of old-fashioned electrical outlets. A GFCI outlet offers protection from electric shocks, which can injure or kill people and pets.Â
Essentially, a GFCI is an advanced electrical outlet that includes safety equipment that constantly checks the line. In the event of a ground fault, the GFCI immediately turns off the power. Without this protection electrocution (death by electric shock) can occur.
Where Should You Have a GFCI Outlet?
For the safety of your family and guests, you should install GFCI outlets in any place where there are electrical receptacles ranging from 125 volts to 250 volts on 150-volt or lower single-phase branch circuits.Â
Your electricians will tour the property to determine where exactly these outlets are.Â
More broadly, you’ll need GFCI outlets in places including:
- Kitchen (including receptacles close to the sink)
- Bathroom (all outlets)
- Garage (power tools, washer, and dryer, etc.)
- Outdoors (such as outlets in your backyard eating area, outdoor lighting, or near a pool)
- Rooftop (including near heating and air conditioning equipment)
Upgrade Your Unsafe 2-Prong Outlets
An electrician from North Royalton Electric will come to your home or business, touring the property with you to determine where you need to replace unsafe 2-prong outlets and install GFCI outlets.
Replace Any Outlets That Are Loose or Burnt
The electrician will inspect your outlets carefully, to verify if any of them have loose connections. If an outlet shows signs of being burnt, it is dangerous and needs to be removed and upgraded immediately.Â
Careful examination and evaluation of your electrical system is part of the standard process we offer to every customer we serve, from big and small businesses to local homes throughout North Royalton.
