What is GFCI?
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is an essential safety device that protects people from electric shocks. It’s built into certain electrical outlets and breakers to monitor the flow of electricity.

This reaction happens in less than a second to prevent serious injury or death. Why is GFCI Important? In simple terms, electricity always seeks the easiest way to get to the ground. …
