1. What is a GFCI Device?
A GFCI device is designed to shut off power when it detects that electricity may be traveling to a destination other than back to the power grid. A GFCI
protected outlet serves as a safety device because sometimes the electricity that may escape from an outlet may be escaping into a person!

2. Why Have GFCI's.
Most importantly, GFCI's can save lives. If an electric shock were to occur, the current would run through the victim away from the source yet because
GFCI's are able to sense this they shut off automatically. Since their inventio,n and inclusion in the National Electrical Code (NEC),, GFCI's have
saved hundreds of lives! The US Consumer Safety Committee discovered that two thirds of the 300 household electrical deaths that happen annually
would have been avoided if GFCI devices were properly install. Click Here to read The US Consumer Safety Committee's Fact Sheet on GFCI Devices
in The Home .

3. Where Should I Have GFCI's Installed?
Most importantly all the parts of your home that are in contact with water. This includes kitchens, bathrooms, any outdoor location, and especially near
spas, pools, and lakes. The are all NEC required GFCI locations. Most jurisdictions are requiring garages, unfinished basements, and crawl spaces
to be protected as well because these are parts of the home where ground faults occur frequently and residents are likely to experience electrical
shock. TE finds that only aproximately 50 percent the homes inspected have GFCI's in the kitchen (you may find this is a.... shocking fact!)

4. How Do I Know My GFCI's are Working Correctly?
On the GFCI there is a button labeled "test." Hit the test button and you should hear a snap as the outlet shuts off. Hit the "reset" button to restore
power. If your GFCI does not shut off when tested, get it replaced. The only way to really know if a GFCI is working is to test it with a GFCI tester (you
can get one at your local hardware store). GFCI testing is standard in our whole house electrical safety checks.

5. My GFCI Trips All The Time; is The GFCI Bad?
Perhaps. Although it's most likely only doing its job (protecting you and you family from ground faults). Have the circuit checked out to insure there is
not a possible ground fault or leak somewhere in the wiring. Many times appliances that have ground faults (electrical leaks) may cause a GFCI to
trip. It is always a great idea to have any appliance that is tripping a GFCI device looked at by an electrician.
