There are probably a few GFCI outlets in your home’s bathroom right now, and perhaps a few in your kitchen as well.

If you can see a three-pronged outlet with its own “reset” and “test” buttons on the outlet cover, then you’ve found one. GFCI stands for “Ground Fault Circuit Breaker,” and is a grounded outlet designed to keep you safe when plugging in appliances near water.

These outlets are a fundamental part of home safety. They work the same as any other outlet in function, but they contain extra components that protect you from electrical shocks. A GFCI outlet continually monitors the electrical current flowing through it. When it detects an interruption, no matter how slight, it flips a miniature circuit breaker to cut the flow off and prevent you from getting shocked.

These outlets are essential for kitchens, bathrooms, and any areas where an electrical fixture could get wet. If you notice that any of these rooms in your home are missing a GFCI outlet, you should call an electrician from Dwellness right away.
