Electrical Tip: What is a GFCI?

GFCI stands for – ground fault circuit interrupter. GFCi’s are to be installed within six feet of a water source, in garages or unfinished basements, kitchen countertops and outdoors. They are intended to prevent electrocutions (in wet surroundings) and injuries from faulty equipment.

Even though these devices have prevented many injuries they are often a homeowner’s biggest headache. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends testing GFCI receptacles monthly by using the test button on the receptacle. If a receptacle is not working the unit should be reset using the reset button on the receptacle. You will often find a GFCI tripped after a storm.

Also, did you know that you can buy GFCI-protected extension cords. These are great for pumps, outdoor equipment, tools, etc. and are available at the big box stores.

For more information on GFCI protection visit the CPSC’s fact sheet on GFCI’s at https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/099_0.pdf

Home Sellers Also Should Hire a Home Inspector

June 23, 2023

One idea is to hire a home inspector about a month before the home goes on the market, then use his report as a punch list of things to repair. Once the repairs are completed, the home inspector will come back for a nominal fee, check those items, and update the report. This accomplishes two things. Homeowners have no surprises when the buyer comes back with their inspection results and the clean inspection report can be included in the MLS showing buyers that the home is in good condition. Even if a few items are not repaired, disclosing this to buyers sets everyone’s expectations correctly and everyone sails through the inspection period.
