Why it does not pay to wait
Missing GFCI protection near water is a shock and electrocution risk, most of all in kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoors. Ungrounded and backstabbed outlets run loose and hot. These are the cheap fixes that head off the expensive emergencies.
You never have an outlet where you need one, and the ones you have are painted shut, ungrounded, or backwired from 1978. We add circuits and receptacles where they belong and put GFCI protection where water and electricity get close.
Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry, and every exterior outlet need ground-fault protection to meet code and to keep you safe. We install it right and test it so it actually trips when it has to.

What you can check yourself first
Before you call, here is what you can safely check on your own. Even if you still call us, you will walk in knowing more than you did.
- Check for GFCI outlets (the ones with test and reset buttons) in kitchens, baths, garages, and outside. Missing ones are worth adding.
- Press the test and reset buttons on the GFCIs you have to confirm they still work.
- Note any outlets that are loose, warm, or only work sometimes.
- Count whether you are short on outlets and leaning on extension cords.

FAQ
Outlets and GFCI questions
Straight answers. If you do not see yours, call us and ask.
A GFCI outlet trips when it senses current leaking to ground, which can mean moisture, a failing device, or a real fault. We test the circuit and find whether it is nuisance tripping or protecting you from something real.
