[ Service information ].

What is a GFCI Outlet?

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets track electrical imbalance and disconnects power in 1/40th of a second, eliminating electrical shock and fires. They have test/reset buttons and are code-mandated for use in wet areas.

Where You Must Have GFCI Outlets 

Utah electrical code mandates GFCI protection in:

• Bathrooms (all outlets)
• Kitchen countertops (within 6 feet of sinks)
• Outdoor outlets
• Garage outlets
• Unfinished basements
• Laundry rooms near sinks
• Pool and hot tub areas

Our Process for GFCI Installation 

1. Safety Assessment: We use a multimeter and inspect active outlets for code infractions or safety hazards..

2. Power Shut-Off: All electrical work begins with turning off power at the circuit breaker for safe installation.

3. Wiring Inspection: We inspect for wire conditions, proper grounding, and circuit capacity before installation.

4. GFCI Installation:

• Replace worn-out outlet
• Attach LINE wires into GFCI (hot and neutral from panel)
• Joint LOAD wires if protecting downstream outlets
• Secure outlet in electric box
• Install cover plate

5. Testing & Verification: We test the GFCI using the test/reset buttons and verify proper operation with electrical testing equipment.
