DALY CITY — Host, Sarah Rutan: GFCIs or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters are important parts of your electrical system. Today, we&#8217;re in Daly City with Gerry Reyes of Aren Electric Co. to learn more about how test and maintain your GFCIs.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Gerry Reyes: The GFCI receptacles have been found in the kitchen, countertops, which is a code and also bathrooms. garages, outdoors, and the purpose of it is it’s a ground fault. Something happens like a cord gets cut, this GFCI receptacle will turn off automatically by itself in a split second to prevent any injuries. You can test this monthly by pressing the test button, just what I did and then as you can see the light went off and that means this receptacle is off right now. Then you can reset it and it goes back to normal again.
