Why Are GFI Outlets Important?
GFI outlets are designed to detect any imbalance in the electrical current, which can occur when electricity is flowing through an unintended path, such as water or a person. If the outlet senses a fault, it quickly shuts off the power to prevent electrical shocks or fires. GFI outlets are crucial in areas like:
- Bathrooms
- Kitchens
- Outdoor Spaces
- Basements
- Garages
FAQs About GFI Outlets
Q: Where should I install GFI outlets in my home?
A: GFI outlets should be installed in any area where water is present, such as kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor outlets, garages, and laundry rooms.
Q: How do I know if my GFI outlet is working properly?
A: GFI outlets come with a “test” and “reset” button. You can press the “test” button to trip the outlet and then press the “reset” button to ensure it is working properly. If the outlet doesn’t reset, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
Q: How often should I replace GFI outlets?
A: GFI outlets generally last around 10 years. However, they should be tested regularly, and if they fail to reset or trip frequently, it may be time for a replacement.
