Scope of Work Completed
-
2x Dedicated Circuit Install – GFCI Breaker (15/20A, 120V, up to 25 ft)
We installed two dedicated 120V circuits protected by GFCI breakers to provide safe, reliable power to individual loads. Our process includes verifying panel capacity and using a standard single-pole breaker. When a panel cannot accept additional breakers, we provide clear options to complete the work safely and in compliance with code. -
Circuit Restoration
We diagnosed the affected branch circuit, ensured all connections were sound, and made the necessary repairs so the circuit could operate reliably without intermittent power loss or nuisance tripping. -
Standard Receptacle (Outlet) Install
We installed a properly grounded receptacle with a matching cover. This service provides a clean, code-conscious solution when you need an additional outlet in a finished space. -
Annual Home Safety Membership – Gold Visit
As part of the Gold plan, our safety check included testing smoke and CO detectors, reviewing panel safety, performing a whole-home electrical safety inspection, noting relevant code updates, tightening or replacing loose/worn/deteriorated connections, and sealing connectors as needed.
Why Dedicated GFCI Circuits Matter
GFCI protection is essential wherever electricity and people meet—especially around kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior areas. Pairing GFCI protection with a dedicated circuit delivers both shock protection and dependable power for individual appliances or equipment.
- Improved safety: GFCI breakers help reduce the risk of electric shock.
- Better reliability: Dedicated circuits isolate loads to minimize nuisance trips and voltage drop.
- Code-conscious solutions: Many locations and appliances require GFCI and/or dedicated circuits for safe operation.
- Equipment protection: Properly sized, dedicated wiring helps protect devices and wiring from overloads.
