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:
- You have old two-prong outlets

- You feel slight shocks from appliances
- GFCI won’t reset or stays tripped

Posted on Matthew LordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company was great to do business with. From initial contact to scheduling a quote and completion of the job was lightning fast which lives up to the name. The technician that showed up for the inspection was on time, friendly, and thorough when finding out what I was looking for and giving great suggestions for how I could achieve my vision.The crew showed up on time on project day and completed the task in less time than I expected and left the area in the same condition that they found it. I now have a beautifully lighted crawl space which provides for extra storage, and comfort while making repairs on A/C or plumbing. I would definitely recommend The Flash electric to anyone looking for a fast and reliable electrician.Posted on Ginger TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler and Tony came out today to install a generator transfer box for us. They did an excellent job and everything tested perfectly afterward. They were both personable and professional. We asked them to look at an outage in our shed while they were here and they diligently tested, searched and dug what they could. I already told them they're hired to come back out to run a new line when they have time. We obviously will use Flash Electric again. Thank you so much guys!Posted on Kelley SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone I came into contact with from scheduling to on site repairs was top notch. Working in real estate I come into contact with a lot of workers in the repairs industry, and I was so impressed with these guys. From being able to text and schedule, to having them fit me in quickly, to showing up and looking for ways to make the panel replacement as cost efficient as possible, to completing the work and being respectful & professional the whole time. They fully replaced our electrical panel & took a look at some wiring in our basement area to see if we needed to upgrade some wiring to mitigate breaker tripping. They found where everything was running and determined that we didn’t need to do anything besides use one plug differently if we didn’t want to run all new wiring. Great customer service all around.Posted on R KleiberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. after a small electrical fire -owner, Eric answered my initial call on first ring.
