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:

Kitchens

Bathrooms

Laundry rooms

Garages

Basements

Outdoor areas

Installing GFCIs in the right locations not only keeps your home safer but also helps bring your property up to modern electrical code standards.
