GFCI outlet installation questions from Palos Verdes Peninsula customers

Why does my GFCI keep tripping?

It is detecting leakage current. Common causes are moisture in an outdoor box, a failing appliance, or damaged wiring downstream. If it trips with nothing plugged in, the wiring or the device needs attention.

How often should GFCI outlets be replaced?

They typically last ten to fifteen years. Press the test button monthly; if the outlet does not cut power, or will not reset, replace it.

Does every kitchen outlet need its own GFCI?

No. One GFCI device can protect the outlets wired after it on the same circuit, and a GFCI breaker protects the whole circuit.
