GFCI Installation & Repair in Gainesville, Cumming, Hall & Forsyth County, GA
GFCI installation repair shock-proofs your home with The Flash Electric — North Georgia’s GFCI heroes.
Water + Electricity = Danger Zone
You wouldn’t plug in a toaster in the bathtub, right?
Well, if your home doesn’t have properly installed and functioning GFCI outlets, that’s
essentially what you’re risking — every single day.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are designed to save lives — and they’re required by code anywhere electricity and moisture might meet, including:
- Bathrooms
- Kitchens
- Garages
- Crawlspaces
- Laundry rooms
- Basements
- Boat docks
If your home in Gainesville, Cumming, or Forsyth County doesn’t have them… it’s time to call The Flash Electric. ⚡
What Is a GFCI Outlet and Why Does It Matter?
A GFCI outlet monitors the flow of electricity in and out of a circuit. If it detects even a tiny
imbalance (as little as 4-6 milliamps), it trips the circuit in 1/40th of a second — before it can
electrocute someone.
According to the Electrical Safety Foundation, GFCIs have reduced
electrocutions by over 80% since their adoption.
So why take a chance?
Common Signs You Need GFCI Installation or Repair:
