GFCI and AFCI outlets or breakers are important devices that protect you and your home. The GFIC circuits protect you from electrical shock when using power in or near water. AFIC circuits protect your home from fires caused by arc faults inside walls or other places in your house.
Bathrooms, kitchens, garages and exterior outlets are places where people may come in contact with water and electricity. Unfortunately, many older homes do not have these life saving devices. The US Consumer Protection Agency recently found that more than half of all household electrical deaths could have been prevented with proper installation of GFCI devices. These devices have a test button which should be checked regularly to ensure proper operation. Many times they are installed incorrectly and provide no protection. Our certified technicians can check your home for GFCI devices and install them as necessary.
AFCI outlets are newer to the market. They provide crucial protection for arc faults which are one of the primary causes of home fires. The consumer protection agency concludes that a high percentage of fires of this type are fatal. This is due to the fact that the fire smolders in the wall cavity before erupting through with a lot of smoke.
We install only name brand, top quality UL listed devices. Many devices from local home improvement stores or bought online will cost less initially, however, they have a higher likelihood of malfunctioning and leaving you unprotected thus costing more later. Don't allow anyone to install anything less than the best in your home
Did you know GFCI devices installed outdoors can corrode internally and fail? If you have an outdoor GFCI make sure its labeled "weather resistant." If the outlet will be used constantly for a landscape controller or other system then an in-use cover will provide the best weather proofing of the outlet. This eliminates failure in wet weather.
