GFCI Outlet Installation
GFCI Outlet Installation in Indianapolis
Safe electrical outlets are an essential part of every home, apartment, office, and other facility. If not properly installed and functioning correctly, outlets can be a source of electrical problems and hazards. At Frye Electric, we offer GFCI outlet installation for customers in Indianapolis.
A GFCI outlet monitors the flow of electricity and automatically shuts off the power in the event of a minor electrical problem, such as a short circuit. These outlets are very useful in preventing electrical shocks and saving lives. We install both residential and commercial GFCI outlets.
Call Frye Electric at (317) 659-6899 to schedule a GFCI outlet installation appointment.
Why Install GFCI Outlets?
GFCI outlets provide many benefits, including:
- Enhanced safety: GFCI outlets are designed to protect against electrical shocks and potential electrocution. They monitor the flow of electricity and quickly shut off power if they detect a ground fault or an imbalance in the electrical current.
- Prevents electrical fires: GFCI outlets help prevent electrical fires by interrupting the circuit when a ground fault occurs. This reduces the risk of overheating and sparks that can lead to fires.
- Protects against water hazards: GFCI outlets are especially crucial in areas where water is present, such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor spaces, and near swimming pools. They provide a level of protection against electrical shock in damp or wet environments.
- Code compliance: GFCI outlets are often required by electrical codes, both for new construction and renovation projects. Installing GFCI outlets ensures compliance with electrical safety standards and regulations.
- Easy installation: GFCI outlets can be installed in place of traditional outlets without extensive rewiring. They are available in various configurations, including receptacles and circuit breakers, making installation straightforward.

- In bathrooms and kitchens in new homes

- In all pool and hot tub areas

Home rewiring is not a do-it-yourself project. Your home’s wiring should only be replaced by a licensed and qualified professional to ensure your family’s safety. Attempting to replace the wiring yourself or hiring an inexperienced person to handle the job can result in a huge headache in the future, if you discover that the work wasn’t completed properly or property damage results from a poor installation. At Frye Electric, Inc., we have provided rewiring in Avon since 1970. Our locally owned and operated company is run by the same person since the beginning, and we employ highly trained and experienced professionals to ensure your safety and peace of mind. We can provide a free estimate for your rewiring project.
