GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are designed to protect people from electrical shocks caused by ground faults or current leakage. Here are some of the benefits of installing GFCI outlets in your house:
- Protection from electrical shocks: GFCI outlets can quickly detect a ground fault and shut off power to the circuit, preventing electrical shocks that can be harmful or even fatal.
- Required by code: In many areas, GFCI outlets are required by electrical codes in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and other locations where moisture or water may be present.
- Protects appliances and electronics: GFCI outlets can also protect appliances and electronics from damage caused by electrical surges.
- Easy to install: GFCI outlets can be easily installed in place of standard outlets and are available in both tamper-resistant and weather-resistant varieties.
- Cost-effective: GFCI outlets are relatively inexpensive and can provide an added layer of safety for your home and family.
Installing GFCI outlets in your home can help prevent electrical shocks and protect your family and electronics from damage caused by electrical surges. They are easy to install, cost-effective, and may even be required by electrical codes in your area. MR AMP can help you! Call us today!
