GFCI Outlets

GFCI FixtureA GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is an outlet designed to prevent electrical shock in parts of the house that frequently get wet, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. Installing GFCIs in your Dallas home can help prevent electric shock and house fires caused by electrical outlets. When a GFCI outlet senses a current flowing along an unintended path—such as through water or a person—it will immediately shut off the electric power circuit. Once the problem is fixed, you can reset the GFCI by pressing the “reset” button.

Testing Your Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

Once you have GFCI outlets in your home, you should test them monthly. Press the “test” button next to the “reset” button. If the power does not cut off then the GFCI is not working properly. If this is the case you should have it replaced. You’re relying on it to protect you and your family so make sure it’s working properly.
