A GFCI, or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, is a safety device designed to protect against electric shocks by quickly disconnecting power in the event of a ground fault. It monitors the flow of current in a circuit and shuts off electricity if it detects a leakage or imbalance, preventing potential harm.

Call an electrician if you experience persistent electrical issues such as frequent tripped circuit breakers, flickering lights, or outlets not working. Additionally, seek professional assistance for any major electrical upgrades, installations, or if you notice signs of safety concerns such as burning smells, sparks, or overheating in your electrical system. It's crucial to involve an electrician in situations where expertise is needed to ensure safety, compliance with codes, and proper functioning of your electrical components.

The number of outlets allowed on one circuit depends on local electrical codes and the specific load requirements. In residential settings, it's common for a circuit to have 8 to 12 outlets, but this can vary based on factors such as the size of the wire and the power demand of connected devices.

To childproof electrical outlets, consider using outlet covers or caps designed specifically for this purpose. These safety devices can be easily inserted into the outlets to prevent children from inserting objects into the sockets.
