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.

My mother and I would like to compliment the quality work done by James Baldwin and Brandon from Mister Sparky in upgrading our electrical system in our house which is almost 100 years old. From the initial consultation, James laid out the work needed and the cost in a very clear description that we could understand. The prices given were final prices, there were no hidden costs. James and Brandon worked quietly and precisely to do this major work on our house. The upgrade to our fuse box, with the Leviton system is actually beautiful to look at, as well as being a major upgrade and the outside boxes also look great with all the wires covered. Everything functions well now and looks aesthetically pleasing. We are very happy with James overseeing and working on the. job with Brandon. They are a great team. We feel our home is safeguarded for a long time to come. We are glad to now have an electrical company we trust for any future work. Thank you James and Brandon.

There aren’t many words to express how thankful I am that we had James Baldwin service our house. He was so kind, smart, knowledgeable, and most of all caring. Electrical issues can be such a confusing matter and he made sure to explain everything to me and my mother with such patience. His card is on our fridge and we will recommend him to absolutely everyone moving forward.

James Baldwin was terrific! He was personable, affable, and (most importantly) clearly knows his stuff. I would highly recommend Mister Sparky (and specifically James) should you ever need an electrician you can trust.
