Electrical Outlet, Switch, & GFCI Installation and Repair in Santa Ana

Electrical Outlet, Switch, & GFCI Installation and Repair in Santa Ana

If you live in Santa Ana, CA, Express Electrical Services can install standard-grade and GFCI electrical outlets and switches. Water and electricity don’t mix, but a GFCI receptacle can protect you against electric shock when you use an appliance or tool with moisture around. Electronic devices and appliances can therefore be safely used in the bathroom, while an outdoor GFCI outlet lets you handle electric power tools in the rain.

A standard electrical outlet serves as a connection between a plug and your home’s electrical system. Taking a different approach, a ground fault circuit interrupter constantly monitors the current flowing between the hot and neutral slot in the outlet. Normally, there should be a balance. When there’s not, the circuit is automatically tripped, cutting the power supply, which takes as little as one-thirtieth of a second.

Once this happens, this prevents you from getting shocked if you accidentally touch the GFCI plug. However, if you feel a shock or notice sparks, then electric switch repair is needed, and our Orange County electrician will install a GFCI outlet to replace your unprotected or faulty one.

Any place water and electricity might mix is a suitable location for a GFCI outlet. Our Santa Ana based electricians may therefore install an electrical outlet of this type anywhere. The most likely locations include the bathroom, kitchen, or garage, or even near your yard or on the side of the house. By doing so, we can completely eliminate the risk of shock.

If you’re considering installing these outlets, call a professional. It’s not as simple as a standard outlet or switch installation, but an experienced electrician in Santa Ana can install your GFCI outlet correctly and without a problem. Also it’s important you call a licensed technician if you believe any outlet is in immediate need of repair.
