GFCI Outlet Installation in Plymouth, MA

Protect Your Home from Electrical Hazards with Safe, Code-Compliant Outlets

We use electricity daily to make life comfortable, convenient, and productive, but most of us never think twice about the safety systems protecting us. One of the most vital protections in any modern home or business is the GFCI outlet. If yours is not so equipped, especially in the kitchen, bathroom, garage, or near outdoor water sources, now is the time to do so.

At Nipper Electric, we install GFCI outlets for homeowners and businesses in and around Plymouth, MA, on the South Shore. Whether you are constructing something new, renovating, or simply updating old wiring, our licensed electricians will ensure that your space complies with today’s safety codes to minimize the risk of electric shock.

What Are GFCI Outlets—and Why Do You Need Them?

GFCI outlets protect people from shock in those places where moisture is usually present. Since water increases conductivity, any current leak from an appliance or outlet can quickly make conditions very dangerous. GFCI outlets work by comparing the energy going to and returning from a circuit. Should there be any slight difference – indicating that current energy might flow through a person or some other unintended path – the outlet trips and cuts off power to the circuit, usually within less than one second.

These outlets are generally mandated by the Massachusetts electrical code in particular locations, such as bathrooms and kitchens—within 6 feet of a sink—basements, garages, laundry rooms, and outdoors where the probability of shock hazards is high. If they were not present or properly installed in many older homes around Plymouth, then an avoidable risk exists.

Why Updating to GFCI Outlets Matters in Plymouth Homes

Whether built in the 1960s or a few years ago, GFCI outlets may not be found in every location where they should be. It’s not uncommon for us at Nipper Electric to run into older homes with standard outlets in places where water is found, creating an avoidable hazard. Even in new homes, they can burn out over time, or if they are not wired correctly, they just won’t work and can be quite the problem when needed.

Safety and the continued use of upgrading to GFCI outlets in your house are essential. Properly installing GFCI outlets can be a very healthy investment in injury prevention, your family’s safety, and even your liability; this is most applicable in businesses or rental properties.
