Where GFCI outlets are required
A GFCI outlet shuts off power in a fraction of a second when it senses current leaking to ground, which is what happens when electricity passes through a person. Code calls for GFCI protection anywhere water and electricity can meet: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages, unfinished basements and outdoors. Many older homes in Palo have none. Adding it is one of the least expensive safety upgrades available.

How much does it cost to add an outlet in Palo?
It depends on access and the circuit. We can usually quote a firm price over the phone once we know the room and wall type.
