How do circuit breakers and GFCI outlets enhance the safety of my home?

Circuit breakers and GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are essential components of your home’s electrical safety system. Circuit breakers protect your home from electrical overloads and short circuits by automatically shutting off the power when too much electricity flows through them, preventing potential fires. GFCI outlets, on the other hand, protect against electrical shock by monitoring the flow of electricity in a circuit and tripping if an imbalance is detected, such as when electricity is flowing through an unintended path like water or a person. Done’s installation of these devices ensures that your home is equipped with the necessary safeguards against common electrical hazards, contributing to a safer living environment.
