Roswell Electrician for Ground Fault Circuit & Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter Installation
GFCI & AFCI Installed by Roswell Electricians
Roswell electrician installs safety devices such as arc fault circuit interrupters and ground fault circuit interupters. Every year, according to IFSTA, problems in home wiring cause more than 35,000 house fires. These issues, such as arcing, throwing sparks and circuit overloads are also associated with the loss of life and the injury of more than 1500 people each y ear.
One way to help in the prevention of fires is the installation of an arc fault circuit interrupting device. Also known as an AFCI, these devices are expected to cut the loss of home and life from fires that are a direct result of a faulty home wiring. Call a certified electrician to have these properly installed.
Conventional Circuit Beakers Don’t Provide the Same Level of Protection for Roswell Residential and Commercial Structures
The traditional types of circuit breakers or fuse boxes in your Roswell home or business simply don’t offer you an early enough reaction to the sparks or arcs that cause problems and fires. By the time they address that problem and the breaker actually blows a house fire may already have started.
The CPSC, years ago had studied and identified the arc fault detecting technology as one of the more promising of the new technologies. Since that time engineers have tested that technology and found that it has indeed lived up to their hopes. AFCI’s save money and they save lives.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
The ground fault circuit interrupter and the Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter are two different devices. They should not be confused with each other since each has it’s own specific purpose and use.
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter is designed to prevent and provide more protection from the very serious risks of electrical shock.
Here is how the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter works. Your homes wiring system may lose small amounts of current to a fault circuit. It may at times lose an amount large enough to give you a serious shock.
Some shocks can be so serious that they require hospitalization or may even be fatal. In a system that is protected by a ground fault interrupter, if the current that is flowing is different even a small amount from that which is returning the ground fault circuit interrupter will turn off the power to that circuit and may prevent you from getting a surge of electric that could be potentially fatal to you or one of your family.
Do You Need An AFCI or a GFCI?
The newest edition of the National Electrical Code will reportedly require the AFCI for any circuit that has a bedroom on it in units that are currently in construction. The same new edition will require the use of an effective Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
Having these installed by a licensed professional electrician, like the ones from Thrasher, will help you to prevent injury, fire, or loss of life. Isn’t it worth your time to look into a AFCI or a GFCI for your own home? Call Thrasher Electrical, LLC at 770-217-7527, for service you’ll love at a price you’ll brag about.
