GFCI’s (the outlets with trip and reset buttons) are great safety devices, but they can cause a lot of havoc!


If you have a GFCI powering up your garage freezer, it could trip and shut off the power to the freezer without you knowing it. Everything in your freezer could go bad. That could be a costly mistake.

Likewise, if you have a GFCI powering up your basement bathroom sewage ejection pump, it could trip and cause an overflow wastewater in your bathroom.

If you have basement sump pump connected to a GFCI it could trip and stop pumping the water out of your basement and cause a flood.


So, we recommend checking your important appliances to see if they are vulnerable to nuisance tripping. If they are, contact an electrician to deal with it correctly.
