GFCI and AFCI Outletsin Milwaukee, WI

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) and AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are both designed to enhance electrical safety, but they serve different purposes and protect against different types of hazards. Whereas your circuit breaker is in charge of protecting your entire home, GFCI and AFCI outlets prevent:

  • Electrical Fires
  • High Voltage Shocks
  • Electrocution

Which Outlets Do I Need?

The Difference Between GFCI & AFCI Outlets

GFCI Outlets

GFCI outlets are primarily used to protect against ground faults, which occur when an electrical current leaks from a circuit. They are typically installed in areas where water and electricity may come into contact, such as kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor outlets, and laundry rooms.

GFCIs monitor the flow of current between the hot and neutral wires and quickly interrupt the circuit if an imbalance is detected, reducing the risk of electric shock. They protect you and your family by preventing electrocution.

AFCI Outlets

AFCI outlets are designed to detect and prevent arc faults, which are dangerous electrical faults caused by damaged or deteriorating wiring, loose connections, or damaged appliances. These faults can lead to electrical fires.

AFCI outlets monitor the electrical current flowing through the circuit and analyze the waveform for abnormal patterns associated with arc faults. If an arc fault is detected, the AFCI interrupts the circuit, mitigating the risk of fire in your home.

In short, GFCI outlets focus on preventing electrical shocks due to ground faults, while AFCI outlets are specifically designed to reduce the risk of electrical fires.

Why You Should Upgrade

Greater peace of mind that you and your family are as safe as possible in your home. GFCI or ground fault circuit interrupters are designed to prevent people from suffering electrical shocks. AFCI outlets or arc fault circuit interrupters are in place to protect your outlets from overheating, sparking, and causing electrical fires.
