GFCI Outlets

Protection against electrocution!

A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is an electrical outlet with an extra line of defense to protect from accidental electrocution. When a GFCI outlet detects a difference in the amount of energy passing through and returning back to the device, it immediately removes electricity from the circuit.

At Universal Wiring, we recommend that you install GFCI's throughout your home to make it a much safer place.  In fact, GFCI's are now required by electrical code to be installed in certain areas of your home.  Call Universal Wiring today to find out more information on ground-fault circuit interrupters and if your home meets current electrical safety code.

Also, see here what the National Electric Code says about ground-fault circuit interuptors.
