Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are one of the most effective ways to help prevent electrical shock in your home. A ground fault occurs when electricity strays from its intended path—often due to water exposure, damaged wiring, or current leaking from tools or appliances. Because ground faults can cause electricity to flow through a person, they can be extremely dangerous.
