About GFCI Outlet Installation
A GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlet protects you from electric shock by cutting power in a fraction of a second when it detects current leaking to ground. Electrical code requires GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, laundry rooms, and all exterior receptacles, anywhere water and electricity can meet.
Our licensed electricians install and replace GFCI outlets and breakers to keep your family safe and your home code-compliant, and we test every device to confirm it trips correctly.
Where GFCI protection is required
- Bathrooms and kitchens
- Garages and unfinished basements
- Laundry and utility areas
- Outdoors and near pools or spas
Pro tip: the one-GFCI-protects-many rule
You usually don't need a GFCI device at every outlet. A single GFCI receptacle or breaker protects everything downstream on the circuit, which is why one bathroom GFCI often covers the garage and exterior outlets too. That's also why a 'dead' garage outlet so often resets in a bathroom.
Our installs map the circuit first, protect at the right point, and label what protects what, so future you (or a future buyer's inspector) isn't hunting mystery resets. Where code requires it, we use weather-resistant and tamper-resistant devices; where nuisance tripping is likely (freezers, sump pumps), we design the circuit so protection doesn't fight the appliance.

Bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, laundry, and all exterior receptacles per the NEC.
If it won't reset, won't trip when you press 'test,' or trips constantly, it's likely failed and should be replaced.
GFCI protects people from shock in wet areas; AFCI protects against arc-fault fires in living areas. Many homes need both, and we install each where code requires.
