How GFCI Outlets Work
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a safety mechanism that constantly monitors the electrical current flowing through a circuit. If it detects an imbalance between the electrified wires and the grounding wires, which means the electricity is going somewhere it shouldn’t be, it quickly cuts off the power.
GFCI outlets should typically be found in your bathroom, kitchen, garage, workshop, or outdoor areas. By having them installed in the proper places, you help to avoid costly electrical accidents, which can cause expensive repair bills and property damage and inflict serious bodily harm on yourself or your loved ones.
4 Common GFCI Problems
GFCI, like all pieces of electrical equipment, are prone to certain issues throughout their lifetime. Things you’ll want to look out for include:
- Failure to reset: If your outlet has tripped and fails to reset, your unit may be faulty.
- No power output: A lack of adequate power flow is a serious sign of a malfunction.
- Frequent tripping: If your GFCI trips frequently, this could be a sensitivity problem.
- Nuisance tripping: Random tripping without a clear cause suggests your unit is defective or aging.
Professional GFCI Outlet Installation
When installing a GFCI outlet, it’s important to seek professional help, as a DIY job can miss critical steps and lead to electrical instabilities. Typical installation takes 20 to 30 minutes per outlet, and units last 10 to 15 years. However, lifespan varies based on factors such as frequency of use and the electrical environment in your home.
