  • AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets help prevent electrical fires by detecting dangerous arcing conditions in wiring that could lead to overheating or sparks. AFCI outlets are especially important in areas with older wiring or potential for electrical malfunctions.

    GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets protect against electrical shocks in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor outlets. GFCIs instantly shut off power if a ground fault is detected, providing protection against electrocution, particularly in areas where water is present.

    When should you install GFCI and AFCI outlets?

    • AFCI outlets are recommended for living rooms, bedrooms, and other areas with higher fire risk, particularly if you live in an older home with outdated wiring.

    • GFCI outlets are essential for wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, basements, garages, and outdoor outlets to prevent shock hazards from water exposure.

    We recommend installing both GFCI and AFCI outlets to enhance safety, prevent electrical hazards, and meet current electrical code requirements. Installing these outlets can reduce the risk of electrical fires and shocks, keeping your home or business safe.
