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.

This was the first time I used Mr. Sparky and I was impressed with their service. They are very professional and took the time to walk me through my options (depending on price point). Sam, the electrician, was thorough and did a great job cleaning up when the job was over. I would recommend these guys!

- Carey Wise

With a number of projects to do, Sam was very impressive and able to take care of everything requested. He was also incredibly patient and helpful to walk the home and provide advice on additional work to be done in the future. Great work Sam!

- Matt H.

Technician, Sam, arrived promptly. He was extremely courteous and professional. I had several electrical issues but by the end of Sam’s visit, everything was fixed and working perfectly. I would highly recommend Mr Sparky and plan to continue my working relationship with them.

- Diane McGovern

Sam Was very detailed and very understanding of our needs. He did a great job! He was neat and worked very hard.

- Cheryl Mordini

Sam, the tech, that came to my home was there earlier than appointed time, which worked for me. Dressed and acted very professional. We walked my home and I pointed out items I thought i was in need of some help. He was very patient and informative. Following, he went about his work and was done in no time. Cleanly done electrical work. Pricing was very acceptable. Would recommend this firm to others. Keep up the good work.
