What Are Arc Fault and GFCI Protection?
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)
An AFCI is a vital safety device that detects electrical arcs, which can lead to electrical fires. These faults are often caused by damaged wires, loose connections, or faulty appliances. AFCIs immediately cut off the power to prevent dangerous fires and protect your property.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
A GFCI protects you from electric shock by quickly shutting off power when a ground fault occurs. GFCIs are especially important in areas with water exposure, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor outlets. They are required by safety codes and provide peace of mind by protecting you from electrical hazards.
