What Are GFCI and AFCI Outlets?
- GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are designed to protect people from electrical shocks by monitoring the flow of electricity in a circuit. If the outlet detects an imbalance—such as electricity flowing through water or a person—it shuts off the power immediately. This makes GFCI outlets essential in areas where water is present, such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces.
- AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets, on the other hand, prevent electrical fires by detecting dangerous arcing conditions in the wiring. Arcing can occur due to damaged, deteriorated, or improperly installed wiring and can lead to sparks that ignite fires. AFCI outlets are often installed in bedrooms, living rooms, and other general-purpose areas of a home to ensure fire safety.
Both types of outlets are mandated in various areas by electrical codes because of their importance in preventing accidents and protecting property. Our electricians at Affordable Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. are experts in evaluating homes to ensure compliance with these codes and can recommend the best solutions tailored to your home’s needs.
