Protect Your Home with Proper GFCI Protection

By Wicks Electric – Vancouver’s Skilled and Trusted Electricians

GFCI outlets are small but mighty. They protect you and your family from electrical shocks in areas where water and electricity could be a dangerous mix—think kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces.

At Wicks Electric, we include a GFCI Protection Check in our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection to ensure every outlet is safe, functioning correctly, and up to code.

What We Check During a GFCI Inspection

Our skilled and licensed electricians will:

Test all GFCI outlets to ensure proper operation
Inspect for correct placement in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas
Identify areas that require additional GFCI protection
Replace faulty or outdated GFCI outlets to meet current safety standards
Verify proper wiring and connections for maximum protection

Why GFCI Protection is Crucial

A GFCI outlet is designed to shut off electricity instantly if it detects a ground fault, helping prevent:

Electrical shocks
Severe injury or even death
Damage to appliances and electronics
Fire hazards in wet or damp areas

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

When to Schedule a GFCI Check

Outlets trip frequently or won’t reset
You notice loose or discolored outlets in wet areas
Your home has older wiring or outdated outlets
You’re renovating or adding new outlets in moisture-prone areas

Why Your Bathroom Fan and Kitchen Hood Wiring Matter

August 15, 2025/in Blog/by Marianne Bernardo

By Wicks Electric – Vancouver’s Skilled and Trusted Electrical Team

Your bathroom fans and kitchen hoods do more than just keep the air fresh—they help protect your home from moisture buildup, mold, and odors. But these essential appliances need safe, reliable wiring to function properly.

That’s why at Wicks Electric, we include a full Bathroom Fan and Kitchen Hood Wiring Check in our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection to ensure your systems are working safely and up to code.

Test for proper operation and ensure switches are working correctly

Improper wiring or faulty connections can cause:

Fans and hoods to fail or function intermittently

Poor ventilation leading to mold and damage

Regular wiring checks by a licensed electrician in Vancouver keep your home safe and comfortable.
