What Are AFCI and GFCI?
Electrical safety is a top priority for homeowners, and AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) and GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are essential for preventing shocks and fires. At Shafer Heating & Cooling, LLC, we install and upgrade these safety-enhancing outlets to protect your home’s electrical system.
GFCI outlets are designed to prevent electrical shocks by detecting imbalances in electrical current, which commonly occur in areas where water is present, such as bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor spaces. If a ground fault is detected, the outlet instantly shuts off power to prevent electrocution.
AFCI outlets, on the other hand, help prevent electrical fires by detecting dangerous arcing conditions within wiring. These outlets monitor electricity flow and shut off power if an arc fault is detected, reducing the risk of overheating and fire. Modern electrical codes require AFCI protection in bedrooms, living areas, and other high-risk locations, making them a critical addition to your home’s electrical safety system.
Outlet Safety Considerations
Outlets are essential for powering your home, but outdated or faulty outlets can create major safety hazards. At Shafer Heating & Cooling, LLC, we often see homeowners dealing with worn-out or improperly installed outlets that put their families at risk.
If your outlets are loose, cracked, or discolored, they may be overheating or experiencing internal damage. Additionally, if you experience frequent breaker trips or burning smells near outlets, this is a sign of electrical faults that need immediate attention. Older homes in Hillsboro, OH, often lack proper GFCI and AFCI protection, increasing the risk of shocks and fires.
Regular outlet inspections and upgrades help prevent these dangers and ensure your home meets modern electrical safety standards. If you’re unsure whether your outlets are safe, our expert electricians can assess your system and recommend necessary upgrades to protect your home and appliances.
When to Schedule an Outlet Upgrade
If your home still has two-prong outlets, outdated wiring, or lacks GFCI and AFCI protection, it’s time to consider an upgrade. Many older homes were built before these safety features became standard, leaving electrical systems vulnerable to hazards.
At Shafer Heating & Cooling, LLC, we provide professional outlet upgrades to ensure your home is compliant with modern safety codes and capable of handling today’s electrical demands. Upgrading to AFCI and GFCI outlets not only enhances safety but also improves efficiency and reduces the risk of costly electrical damage.
Additionally, if you’re remodeling, adding new appliances, or expanding your home, scheduling an outlet upgrade ensures your system is up to the task. Don’t wait for an electrical emergency—contact us today to schedule a consultation and ensure your home’s outlets are safe and up to code!
