What Do GFCIs Do?

A GFCI outlet is most common in areas prone to damp conditions such as a bathroom, kitchen, pool area, and other outdoor locations. A GFCI detects unexpected electrical behavior, which could cause electricity to flow from a person to the ground—an event that can be deadly. While fuses and breakers protect devices from electrical surges, GFCIs have the important task of protecting humans.

What Causes a GFCI to Trip?

A GFCI can trip because it’s doing its job or because it is going bad. As with any device, a GFCI can fail after years of use. Electrical trips are also known as ground faults and can happen for a variety of reasons.

GFCIs can be tripped because of the following:

Water
Debris
Wiring deterioration
Bad insulation
Overloaded circuits

Regardless of what’s causing your GFCI to trip, an electrician should address the problem as soon as possible. Since GFCIs are important safety features, they should always be working properly. In some instances, a GFCI trip can be an early indicator of an electrical emergency.

Mr. Sparky employee Thomas was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Excellent job. Definitely will recommend this company moving forward and rehire for any future projects/services at my home.

- Marc A Mann

Thomas was amazing! He was very straight forward with the entire install process and kept us informed of anything that came up during his work. Very quick and efficient work don't and grateful to have our home safe now with all the electrical. Will be calling them for any future issues with electric!!! Thank you Thomas!

- Cherilyn Smail

They were able to get us scheduled days earlier than expected due to a schedule change. Thomas did a great job. He was on time, quickly surveyed the work to be done, and very effecently and effectively removed the old ceiling fan and assembled and installed the new one. Since the new one has a remote control, some accommodation/rewiring was required. After a function check, he removed his equipment, cleaned up after himself, and conducted a quick "safety check" of our home. Without hesitation, Mr. Sparky will be our first call for future electrical repairs and projects. Hope they send Thomas, when we call.

- Paul Blankenbeckler

Bradley was very prompt and professional! He came right in diagnosed and fixed the problem with ease all while maintaining a good attitude and engaging in conversation. He explained what he was doing as he was fixing the issues, ensuring I was kept in the loop every step of the way. He also completed a complementary safety inspection that’s offered to military members and found a defective outlet. Not a problem, that was replaced, no issue! I am very happy with my experience with Mister Sparky and will definitely recommend and use their services again!

- J Bankston

Thomas was extremely polite and professional. He installed a ceiling fan and hanging kitchen light in a timely manner with ease and confidence. I am pleased with the results and highly recommend both Thomas and Mister Sparky to anyone in need of electrical services. Customer service definitely a 10 from the moment I scheduled to job completion. Thanks Thomas for a job well done!!!
