What Is a GFCI Outlet & Why It Matters

A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet is designed to prevent electrical shock by instantly shutting off power when it detects a ground fault (usually caused by the presence of water). These outlets are legally required in locations where electricity and moisture may mix.

In older properties throughout the suburbs, it’s not uncommon to find outdated outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages that should have GFCI protection. Installing or upgrading to GFCI outlets greatly reduces the risk of electrical shock and is one of the simplest, most effective safety improvements you can make in your home.

When Should You Replace a GFCI Outlet

There are many different reasons a GFCI outlet should be replaced. You should test them regularly, but make sure to call us if you notice:

  • The outlet doesn’t reset

  • It trips constantly for no apparent reason

  • The “TEST” button stops working

  • Discoloration, buzzing, or heat around the outlet

  • You’re remodeling a space without proper GFCI protection

Modern GFCI outlets typically last 8-15 years, depending on usage and conditions. If your home is older or hasn’t been inspected recently, updating these outlets is a smart and inexpensive safety upgrade.
