Choosing the right work for your outlet

A tripping outlet needs diagnosis

A GFCI trip is a signal to check the circuit. We'll discuss the fault and the work needed to address it.

Wiring damage needs its own repair

A new receptacle isn't a substitute for repairing damaged wiring. We also handle electrical repairs when the issue extends beyond the outlet.

Work for homes and businesses

We tailor the outlet work to the property and its use. Our team is insured.

The scope this service is meant to handle

A homeowner might notice a bathroom outlet trips after a hair dryer is plugged in. We'd ask about the trip, assess the outlet and circuit, and discuss whether the outlet needs replacement or the fault needs separate repair.

How GFCI outlets detect a fault

Ground fault: A ground fault occurs when current takes an unintended path to ground. A GFCI is designed to interrupt power when it detects the resulting imbalance.
Test and reset controls: The test control checks the GFCI's trip function, and the reset control restores power after a trip when the fault is no longer present.

Questions about tripping GFCI outlets

For GFCI Outlet Installation, why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping?

Faulty appliances, moisture or damaged wiring can cause a GFCI outlet to trip. GMB Electric can assess the outlet and circuit to find the cause. A trip is a sign that the outlet has detected a possible fault, so don't keep resetting it without addressing the problem. Tell us what was connected and what you noticed before the trip.

What should I tell you before an outlet assessment?

The outlet location and the symptoms you noticed help us plan an assessment. Tell us whether power is out at other receptacles and whether the trip happens with a particular device. Access to the outlet and electrical panel also helps. If a property manager controls access, arrange entry before the visit.

When is a new GFCI outlet the wrong fix?

A new GFCI outlet alone won't repair a fault in damaged circuit wiring. We assess the receptacle and accessible wiring to determine the work needed. Moisture can also be part of the problem, so its source needs attention. We'll discuss the findings before you decide on the repair.

How are GFI and GFCI outlets different?

GFI and GFCI are terms people use for ground-fault protection. GFCI means ground-fault circuit interrupter, and it describes protection designed to cut power when it detects a ground fault. If you're unsure what your existing outlet provides, we can assess it and discuss whether a GFCI receptacle is appropriate.

Which outlet details change the quote?

The wiring condition, outlet location and any needed repairs change the scope of a GFCI outlet quote. A receptacle with damaged connections needs different work from an accessible outlet with sound wiring. We can assess the job and explain the proposed work in your quote.

Should I replace the receptacle myself?

No, electrical outlet replacement involves live-circuit hazards and connections that need proper testing. We can shut off the circuit, assess the wiring and install the receptacle. If the outlet has been tripping, tell us about the symptom so we can also look for the cause.
