Signs You Need This
- Your kitchen or bathroom outlets are still the older non-GFCI type
- A GFCI outlet trips repeatedly or won't reset
- You're renovating a kitchen, bath, or garage and need outlets brought up to code
- A home inspection flagged missing GFCI protection
What's Involved
We identify which outlets in wet or damp locations need GFCI protection under current code, and either replace existing outlets or add protection at the panel level depending on the setup. If an outlet keeps tripping, we track down whether it's a wiring issue or a failing device before replacing anything.
A GFCI outlet that won't reset is protecting you from something — it's worth having it looked at rather than just replacing it and hoping the problem goes away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does code require GFCI outlets?
Generally kitchens, bathrooms, garages, unfinished basements, and outdoor locations — we'll check your specific setup against current code.
Why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping?
It could be a wiring issue downstream, a failing outlet, or a genuine ground fault. We test to find the actual cause before replacing anything.
Can one GFCI outlet protect other outlets on the same circuit?
Yes, a GFCI outlet can protect downstream outlets on the same circuit when wired correctly, which we can set up during installation.
