GFCI vs. AFCI Outlets
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) outlets each serve important but different safety functions in your home:
- GFCI outlets protect against electric shocks caused by water and electricity.
- AFCI outlets protect against electrical fires caused by damaged or loose wiring.
For the best protection, both types of outlets should be used in different areas of your home.
Why Do I Need GFCI & AFCI Outlet Wiring?
GFCI and AFCI outlets are crucial for protecting your home. These electrical installations will:
- Protect you from electric shocks: GFCI outlets stop shocks in areas with water, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
- Prevent electrical fires: AFCI outlets detect faulty wiring and prevent fires by shutting off power when needed.
- Ensure complete safety: Together, GFCI and AFCI outlets offer full electrical safety.
- Meet code requirements: Many local building codes now require these outlets in certain areas.
