GFCI Installation
GFCI Installation
Many people are not aware of GFCI outlets and their importance in electrical safety. GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlets are designed to protect against electrical shock and fire by interrupting the flow of electricity when it detects a ground fault. GFCI outlet installation is a vital part of ensuring that your home is up to code and keeping your family safe in the event of a power surge. GFCI outlets are typically installed in areas where there is a risk of water damage, such as near sinks and in bathrooms.
However, GFCI installation is not limited to these areas. GFCI outlets can be installed anywhere in the home. If you are not sure if your home has GFCI outlets, or if you would like to have them installed, Gigawatts Electric can help. We offer GFCI installation and replacement services to help keep your home safe and sound.
Understanding Ground Fault
Ground faults are one of the main dangers of electrical work. While they may not seem like a big deal, they can actually be quite dangerous. A ground fault is created when there is a break in the circuit, causing the current to flow to the ground instead of back to the power source. This can create a shock hazard for anyone who comes in contact with the circuit.
Ground faults can also cause fires, so it’s important to be aware of them and know how to prevent them. GFCI installation is one way to help prevent ground faults. GFCIs are designed to trip when there is a ground fault so that the current is cut off and no one gets hurt.
Areas Requiring GFCI Installation
GFCI outlets are required in any area of your home where there is an increased risk of electrical shock due to ground fault. GFCI outlets are standard in places where moisture could be an issue, such as kitchens and bathrooms. They are also helpful in areas where power tools and appliances are used, since those locations are at higher risk of a ground fault.
Most homeowners know they need GFCI in their kitchens and bathrooms. However, you may not be aware that GFCI outlets are also required in the following areas: garages, unfinished basements, laundry rooms, outdoors (including porches and decks), and anywhere else where water might come into contact with electrical outlets. GFCI installation is a process that can be completed by a qualified electrician. GFCI outlets should be tested on a monthly basis to ensure they are working properly. So if you’re unsure whether your home has the right kind of outlets in the right places, it’s always best to error on the side of caution and give Gigawatts Electric a call.
