Electrical safety is a top priority in every home, and one of the most effective tools for preventing shocks and accidents is the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). These devices are designed to detect irregular electrical flow and immediately shut off power, protecting you and your family from potential harm. Despite their importance, many homeowners on the Central Coast are unaware of how GFCIs function or where they should be installed.

FAQs
What is a GFCI and how does it work?
A GFCI monitors electrical current and shuts off power if it detects an imbalance, preventing shocks.
Where should GFCIs be installed?
GFCIs are essential in areas with water exposure, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and outdoor outlets.
Can I install a GFCI myself?
Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct wiring and safety compliance.
Do GFCIs require maintenance?
Yes, GFCIs should be tested monthly using the built-in test button to ensure proper function.
What happens if a GFCI trips?
Tripping indicates a potential fault or imbalance. Resetting is safe if the source of the issue is resolved; otherwise, call a licensed electrician immediately.
