⚡ That little button on your outlet does a BIG job.
Ever wondered what a GFCI outlet is?
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is designed to help protect you and your family from electrical shock by shutting off power in a fraction of a second if it detects a problem.
You’ll commonly find GFCI outlets in places where water and electricity are close together, like:
💧 Kitchens
🛁 Bathrooms
🌿 Garages
🏡 Outdoor outlets
🧺 Laundry rooms
If you press the TEST button and it doesn’t trip—or the RESET button won’t restore power—it may be time to have it evaluated or replaced.
At FCS Home Inspection, we check important safety features like GFCI protection because even the smallest details can make a big difference when it comes to your home’s safety.
