ReplyDeleteWhenever working with or installing your electrical system, you always run the risk of being shocked. Although some experienced DIYers will be very familiar and comfortable with performing some basic wiring tasks, it is strongly recommended that you rely on the skills and experience of a licensed electrician when making any changes or maintenance to your electrical system.
ReplyDeleteA licensed electrical will make sure that your electrical system is compliant with all necessary safety codes, as well as install any important safety products. One of the most common safety device is the ground fault circuit interrupter, commonly referred to as a GFCI.
A GFCI outlet is designed to provide constant monitoring to the electrical circuits in areas that experience frequent moisture. This includes kitchens, garages, outdoor spaces, pool areas and bathrooms. This type of circuit protection provides excellent security for these wet areas. By monitoring the electricity that is flowing through a given circuit, a GFCI can stop electricity from flowing whenever it detects even the smallest fluctuations in power. Whether it is a large change or a small change, the GFCI will shut off the power. This has been shown to save lives, especially in regards to electrical shocks resulting from short circuits in wet areas. Although they are one of the most common and most effective forms of home electrical precautions, there are several other things that you should be doing to ensure your safety when around your electrical system.
