What Is a GFCI?

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a special type of electrical outlet designed to protect you from electric shock. GFCIs monitor the flow of electricity in a circuit. If they detect even a small imbalance—such as electricity escaping into water or a person—they immediately shut off power to prevent serious injury.

Because of their critical safety function, GFCI outlets are required by code in certain parts of your home, including:
