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.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★ I requested to have quote to install a EV charger in our garage. I was able to schedule one in a week and Adam showed up at the door right on time to inspect how much would that cost. He was very professional and explained very clearly how the technician will work on the installation. He also made the process easy by sending me two different options via email for me to choose which one I’d like to go with. After accepting one of the options someone called and scheduled the installation. Erich came out and installed everything professionally. Price was reasonable and we could not be happier with how easy the process went.Angela KaoAngela Kao ★★★★☆ The technician (Luis) was very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained the process and answered all my questions.Abeautiflife MineAbeautiflife Mine ★★★★★ **EDITED REVIEW**Noone can really expect perfection out of a business, especially when that company is large and well known. I experienced a few issues throughout my process, but to be fair - my situation was highly unique and I had an extremely firm and inflexible expectation.Capital quickly jumped into action and corrected the situation. By quickly, I mean - within 45 minutes.Sure, perfection is the goal. But what really matters is how a company responds when things aren't perfect (because they won't always be). Capital stands by their service and products, and I'm appreciative of their actions to get us to the point of the project's end goal//my vision.Upgraded from 1 to 5 stars. Unmatched support.

Now just waiting to schedule the install.Jeremiah ParveJeremiah Parve ★★★★★ Amani and Kyle did a great jobs with my duct cleaning and ac repairs respectively. Thanks!Adriana OliviaAdriana Olivia ★★★★★ I scheduled an appointment to fix a dryer outlet that wasn't providing enough voltage to heat a brand new dryer. Jacob discovered that the machine hadn't been connected properly and that there were no electrical issues. Despite spending 30 minutes checking and double-checking for any issues, I was not charged. That doesn't happen very often anymore. I will definitely use Capital Heating in the future and recommend you to friends and neighbors. Thank you!Sue JenningsSue Jennings ★★★★☆ Hired Capital Heating & Cooling do an annual A/C check for me. Communication regarding appointment, actual service technician and his arrival time were accurate and convenient. Service tech Kyle was very professional and respectful of my house (used shoe covers each time in & out of the house). After service was performed, he walked me through the condition of my AC and gave me several recommendations, but I didn’t feel pressured to purchase any on the spot. Took 1 star off because the solicitation for feedback was a little overboard, as I received several messages by text and email.Mike MMike M ★★★★★ Super happy with the serviceSantiago RomeroSantiago Romero ★★★★★ The technician, Anthony, was very friendly and helpful to my mother and my boyfriend. I received my estimate very promptly. I've used Capital HVAC previously and have always been very pleased with the service and I would recommend them.Mari LunaMari Lunajs_loader
