Installing a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) circuit breaker is a crucial step in ensuring the safety of your electrical system. GFCIs are designed to protect people from electrical shocks by detecting imbalances in the flow of electricity and quickly shutting off the power. They are particularly important in areas where water may be present, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor outlets.
GFCIs are relatively easy to install and can be done by most do-it-yourselfers with basic electrical knowledge. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully and to have the work inspected by a qualified electrician to ensure that it is done correctly.
