As minimum electrical safety requirements, the National Electrical Code requires electricians to install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet when wiring wet locations in any new home electrical system. Wet locations include:
- Outdoor lights & electrical outlets
If you live in an older home with original wiring, chances are if you sell your home the electrical inspector will request that these outlets be installed. Additionally, having GFCI outlets installed or tested brings your property up to code.
Nisat Electric Inc. provides GFCI installation, troubleshooting and outlet wiring in wet locations for both new and older homes.
GFCI Outlet
A GFCI outlet is designed to be sensitive and trip faster than any breaker or fuse and, if wired and functioning properly, should trip before anyone gets hurt.
GFCI outlets are equally important in business offices and commercial facilities. Employee safety is a top priority when conducting business.
GFCI Wiring
GFCI protection is used in commercial electrical wiring, as well. GFCI wiring is a necessary expense for all builders since they must meet the latest code. Business owners must provide a safe environment for employees and should have their facilities assessed for GFCI outlets.
