A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet is designed to prevent electrical shock by cutting power immediately if it detects even a small imbalance in the electrical current—like when water meets electricity. These outlets are required by code in areas where moisture is common, such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, and outdoor spaces. At Done Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we install GFCI outlets that meet current safety standards and help protect your home from serious electrical hazards.
Most GFCI outlets have two buttons: “Test” and “Reset.” If the outlet has tripped, you can usually restore power by pressing the “Reset” button until it clicks. If it won’t reset or keeps tripping, that could mean there’s a wiring issue or moisture intrusion. Our electricians can inspect the outlet and surrounding circuits to find the problem and make sure everything is safe and up to code.
Yes—GFCI outlets can wear out over time, especially in areas with high use or exposure to moisture. Signs of failure include outlets that won’t reset, that trip without a clear cause, or that stop working entirely. If your GFCI outlet isn’t working the way it should, Done can replace it quickly and safely, ensuring your home stays protected.
In most cases, yes. You can replace a standard outlet with a GFCI outlet as long as the wiring and electrical box are compatible. GFCIs are especially important where outlets are located near sinks, tubs, outdoor areas, or anywhere water is present. Our licensed electricians at Done will inspect the location, confirm compatibility, and install the right outlet to meet local codes and keep your home safe.
Arc faults are unintended electrical arcs that produce high, intense heat, creating a fire hazard.
Arc Fault Circuit Interruptor (AFCI) Breakers are equipped to detect and protect your circuits and devices from these dangerous arc faults.
Electricity needs a reference to ground, meaning the ground connected to Earth. When voltage comes in contact with ground, it will trip the circuit breaker or have a point of ground to prevent energizing things that are not meant to be energized. Grounding is for your safety.
How do you tell if your house is properly grounded? You will need to have ground rods, cold water bond with a properly installed main bonding jumper, and grounding run to all energized locations. To the untrained eye, it is hard to tell if proper grounding is present. Your safest option is to have a qualified electrician verify that proper grounding is in place.
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet is a simple safety device that performs a powerful function: it shuts off power the moment it detects an electrical imbalance. That tiny disruption might be caused by water, a faulty appliance, or damaged wiring—and left unaddressed, it can lead to dangerous shocks or even fires. A GFCI outlet reacts in milliseconds, stopping the current before it can cause harm.
If your home has outlets near water—think bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, garages, or outdoor patios—code requires GFCI protection. But beyond code, it’s just smart. Done Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric installs, replaces, and upgrades GFCI outlets to ensure your home is up to date and fully protected.
GFCI outlets are required by the National Electrical Code in any location where moisture or ground contact is likely. That includes:
If your home is older, you might still have standard outlets in these areas. And even if GFCIs were installed years ago, they can wear out over time—especially in damp environments. Our electricians can evaluate your existing outlets and make sure your home meets both code and common-sense safety standards.
One of the most common questions we get is: why won’t my GFCI outlet reset? The truth is, these outlets are sensitive by design—and sometimes that’s a good thing. If it won’t reset, it could mean:
Done’s licensed electricians can diagnose the cause and get your system back in working order without the guesswork.
If you still have regular outlets in moisture-prone areas, upgrading them to GFCI is a small project with a big safety payoff. Installing a GFCI outlet requires wiring it to your existing system, testing the circuit for faults, and confirming that the reset functionality works properly. It’s especially important to get this right in older homes with mixed wiring or DIY history.
Whether you’re planning a remodel, prepping for a home sale, or just fixing that one old outlet near your kitchen sink, Done can help you make the smart, safe choice.
Replacing or installing a GFCI outlet isn’t just about popping in new hardware. Done’s electricians check the full picture—wiring integrity, outlet box capacity, and whether the existing circuit can handle the upgrade. We also ensure proper grounding, label protected outlets downstream, and test everything thoroughly before we leave.
Incorrect installation can lead to GFCIs that appear to work but won’t trip when they should—or worse, fail silently. Our licensed electricians do it right the first time, so you don’t have to worry about hidden risks.
Outdoor outlets are especially vulnerable to water exposure—and code requires them to be both GFCI-protected and weather-resistant. We install outdoor GFCI outlets with the correct covers and enclosures to keep moisture out and power safely flowing. Whether it’s a back patio outlet for your grill or a front porch connection for holiday lights, Done makes sure every outdoor plug is both functional and secure.
