Protect Your Home with Proper GFCI Protection

August 18, 2025/in Blog/by Marianne Bernardo

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Replace faulty or outdated GFCI outlets to meet current safety standards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Your home has older wiring or outdated outlets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

Our top-rated electricians in Vancouver ensure every outlet is protected and compliant.
