GFCI Tripping

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.

Ethan and his coworker Hunter from Mr. Sparky are excellent! They did a wonderful job installing our 300-pound chandelier. From putting up the scaffolding till the conclusion of chandelier installation, everything was done professionally. As highly satisfied customers, we recommend them without any reservation! You will be glad that you have chosen them.

I can not tell you how professional my technician that they sent was,, 'Vitality" called to say he be there in 30 minutes and was prompt, from the start to the time he finished the job he was very knowledgeable and explained everything that would need to be done and then proceeded to check on any other things that might need attention , a courtesy the company does at no charge. I had 4 ceiling fans installed and 2 wall sconce lights, they look amazing!!!, they came out the same day I called and completed the job in just over 3 hours !! I definitely will be calling no one but Sparky for ANY electric needs !!

- Toni Smith

This was an unexpectedly awesome and smooth process from start, to scheduling, to execution (not electrocution? ) and Joseph was fantastic. We had a few challenges with this cooktop retro fit from 220 electric to now 120vac with a propane connection. in cabinet drawer clearances and the 1992 electrical panel parts and modules were a short term problem. ALL overcome. They were a little higher priced than I expected (I was thinking $250 to $350 with parts - but almost $ 500 tax tag delivered...) but not horribly so bad and more important they came out as promised, when promised, and made my gas inspection, installation and down time for the cooktop within our (my wife's) schedule. So Venxxx Elecxxxx who did not return two emails/web forms from me and then when I finally called THEM they said it might be a month to do the job....... they made Mister Sparky my guys for electric from now on!!!! and I have a few more things in this new to me house.....including what will be about a $4 grand redo of the antiquated and a little bit now out of code main breaker box when I stuff in a pool and a wall oven/micro/warming drawer.

Obviously, with everyone recovering from a hurricane scheduling wasn’t as timely as I would have liked, but once they got here, got the ball going everything was great. All three techs that came here did a great job and were good at explaining things. Finally got power restored by FPL today so that is why I’m doing the review now because until now I obviously wasn’t in the best mood living without power for 10 days! I assume a separate review will be sent for the two techs who Did the physical work on the house? I see some reviews that say you’re overpriced, but I actually got one estimate that was even higher than Yours so I guess everything is cool
