Protect Yourself, and Your Family, from Electric Shock

Most people use Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets daily without realizing their importance. These small but essential devices can prevent serious injuries and even save lives.

What Do GFCI Outlets Do?

GFCI outlets are designed to protect you from ground faults—situations where electrical currents take an unsafe path. This often happens when faulty or exposed wiring causes electricity to flow through unintended materials, like your appliances or even your body.

If you unknowingly touch a live wire, the current may pass through you on its way to the ground, leading to an electric shock. This can occur in less than a second and, in severe cases, can be fatal.

GFCI outlets work by monitoring electrical flow. If the current leaving the outlet isn't the same as the returning current, the GFCI immediately shuts off power, stopping the risk of electric shock instantly.

Why Are They Important?

GFCI outlets are critical in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and near water sources, where electrical hazards are more likely. These devices act as a vital safety barrier, keeping you and your loved ones safe from harm.
