Overview of Ground Fault Outlet Installation

GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. A GFCI outlet can detect when there is a fault in the electrical current that could lead to a harmful electrical shock, and automatically shuts off the power to that outlet.

The primary cause of a GFCI outlet tripping is moisture in its many forms contacting an electrical outlet. If a GFCI outlet gets splashed, it will automatically turn off the power flowing to the outlet so that no household member is electrically shocked. High humidity might also trip a GFCI outlet in a bathroom or an outdoor location.

When the risk has passed, you can turn the outlet back on by pressing the “reset” button. GFCI outlets prevent accidents and mishaps involving hair dryers or other heat styling tools, phone chargers, kitchen appliances, etc.

Not only are GFCI outlets a good idea, but they are required by building code in certain areas of your home. According to the NEC (National Electric Code), any outlets within six feet of a sink or water source must be GFCI outlets. The NEC specifically requires GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, crawl spaces, garages, and any outdoor outlets. Essentially, GFCI outlets are required anywhere with plumbing or appliances that use water, and anywhere moisture prone.
