GFCI outlets save lives—they're designed to prevent electrical shock in wet locations like kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. If your South Florida home still has standard outlets in these areas, or if your existing GFCI outlets are failing their monthly tests, Solomon Electric can bring your home up to code with professional GFCI installation. Protect your family from dangerous ground faults with outlets that react in milliseconds.
GFCI outlets are required by Florida electrical code in wet locations. Here's how to know if your home needs attention.
All bathroom outlets within 6 feet of sinks or tubs require GFCI protection. Older homes often lack this critical safety feature.
Kitchen countertop outlets, especially those near sinks and dishwashers, must have GFCI protection to prevent shock from wet hands or spills.
Every outdoor outlet exposed to weather requires GFCI protection—and often weatherproof covers. Rain and moisture create serious shock hazards.
If pressing the RESET button doesn't restore power, the GFCI may be damaged or there's a ground fault on the circuit that needs diagnosis.
Frequent tripping may indicate a legitimate ground fault somewhere on the circuit, moisture intrusion, or a failing GFCI that needs replacement.
Pool pumps, hot tub equipment, and outdoor lighting near water require specialized GFCI protection with specific installation requirements.
We identify all locations requiring GFCI protection—bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor areas, garages, laundry rooms, pool equipment, and anywhere else water and electricity might meet.
We determine the best installation approach: individual GFCI outlets at each location or circuit-level protection using GFCI breakers in your panel.
Our licensed electricians replace standard outlets with GFCI units, ensuring proper wiring (line vs. load terminals) and testing each device.
A single GFCI outlet can protect multiple downstream outlets on the same circuit—we configure this when appropriate to provide efficient protection.
We test every GFCI installation, explain the monthly testing procedure, and ensure you understand how these lifesaving devices work.
GFCI outlets detect ground faults and cut power in 1/40th of a second—fast enough to prevent electrocution. Standard outlets cannot do this.
Florida electrical code requires GFCI protection in wet locations. Non-compliant homes may face issues with insurance, home sales, and inspections.
Children and pets are especially vulnerable to electrical shock. GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens, and play areas adds essential safety.
GFCI outlets are one of the most cost-effective safety upgrades available. The protection they provide far exceeds their modest installation cost.
GFCI outlets are proven lifesavers—they prevent approximately 300 electrocution deaths annually in the United States. Solomon Electric installs GFCI protection throughout South Florida homes, ensuring your family is protected from electrical shock in bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor areas, and anywhere water and electricity might meet. Our licensed electricians ensure code-compliant installation with proper testing.
Florida follows the National Electrical Code, which requires GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens (countertop outlets serving work surfaces), garages, outdoors, laundry areas, basements, unfinished areas, and within 6 feet of any sink. Homes built before these requirements became standard often lack protection in critical locations. We can bring your entire home up to current safety standards.
Is your GFCI outlet tripping constantly or refusing to reset? Don't ignore these warning signs. Frequent tripping may indicate moisture problems, wiring faults, or failing appliances that could cause shock or fire. Our electricians diagnose the underlying cause—not just replace the outlet—ensuring the problem is truly resolved.
