Charleston County GFCI Outlet Installation & Repair

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are designed to protect people from electrical shock. It monitors the flow of electricity in a circuit, and if it detects an imbalance, it shuts off power to prevent electrocution. Here’s where you should install a GFCI receptacle.

Bathrooms: Since water is used frequently in bathrooms, GFCI outlets are mandatory for all receptacles in this area to prevent electric shock.
Kitchens: Any outlet located near a sink (typically within six feet) should be a GFCI to protect against the risk of electrical shock from appliances and water exposure.
Laundry Rooms: Washers and dryers require electricity, and since water is present in laundry rooms, GFCI outlets are needed to enhance safety.
Garages and Basements: Many garages and basements have concrete floors that can conduct electricity, making GFCI protection necessary to reduce the risk of electrocution.
