Keep Your Home Safe with GFCI Protection

/in /by

By Wicks Electric – Vancouver’s Skilled and Trusted Electricians

Electricity and water can be a dangerous combination. That’s why GFCI outlets (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) are essential in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. At Wicks Electric, our licensed electricians include a GFCI Protection Check in our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection to ensure your home is safe and up to code.

 

🔌 What Is a Residential Electrician?

A residential electrician is a licensed professional who installs, maintains, and repairs electrical systems in homes. They ensure your outlets, including GFCIs, work safely and correctly.

Many people ask:

  • What do residential electricians do?

  • Can a residential electrician do commercial work?

Residential electricians specialize in home safety, while commercial and industrial electricians focus on larger, higher-voltage systems. Licensing requirements may prevent them from performing work outside their specialty without additional certification.

🚨 Why GFCI Protection Matters

A GFCI outlet shuts off power instantly if it detects a ground fault, helping prevent:

  • Electrical shocks or severe injury

  • Damage to appliances and electronics

  • Fire hazards in wet areas

Even one malfunctioning or missing GFCI outlet can put your home at risk.

🛠️ When to Schedule a GFCI Check

Schedule a professional inspection if:

  • Outlets trip frequently or will not reset

  • Outlets in wet areas are loose, discolored, or outdated

  • You are renovating or adding new outlets

Our top-rated Vancouver electricians ensure every outlet is protected, functional, and up to code.
