GFCI Circuit Breakers

Installing GFCI circuit breakers in the electrical panel to replace standard breakers will not only keep everyone safe from electrical shock but also protects the entire power on the circuit that your electronics and appliances are plugged into. This also includes the lighting, garage door opener, and other devices.

Your electrical panel may already need upgrading. An electrician should do an electrical system inspection of your home every five to ten years. They will examine and test the breaker panel, power supply, wires in the box, load terminals to see if you need an upgrade. If you do, it's wise to install the GFCI circuit breakers since you already need an upgrade.

How To Tell If Your GFCI Outlets Are Working

Did you know that about 10% of installed GFCI outlets do not work or turn off the power when needed? This is most commonly due to improper ground wire, or black and white wire installation, but it can also be due to wear or damage.

As a homeowner, you should test them monthly and after any electrical storms or power surges. You may still be getting power through the receptacle, but that doesn't mean it's working properly.
