Ensuring that your electrical system is as safe as possible is extremely important, as an electrical system with any problems can be a huge safety hazard.

GFCI and AFCI Outlets

GFCIs (ground fault circuit interrupters) and AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters) are two outlet devices that can keep your Seattle home's electrical system safe. Here's how they work:

  • GFCIs

    GFCIs help prevent you or anyone else in your home from being shocked or electrocuted by any electrical equipment. They work by monitoring the difference between hot and neutral wires, and they will instantly break the circuit if an imbalance is detected. These devices can prevent serious injuries in the event of a malfunction with any piece of electrical equipment.

  • AFCIs

    Arc faults occur when an electrical current veers off its intended path. They can be caused by nearly anything, from a fallen tree or damaged wiring in your Seattle home. AFCIs detect arc faults and cut off the circuit before it can overheat. They are estimated to prevent between 50% and 75% of fires that would otherwise occur.

Our professionals can make sure these devices are present where they are needed in your home.
