GFCI Outlet Installation & Replacement in Ottawa
A GFCI request starts with the location and the protection already provided by the circuit. Renovation1 scopes access and finishes; an ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor evaluates the protection arrangement and carries out the electrical work.

Common questions
Protection can be provided elsewhere on a circuit. The electrical contractor must verify the actual arrangement; appearance alone is not enough.
Not automatically. The device, connected equipment and wiring need assessment to distinguish a failed device from a fault it is detecting.
