Can I install a GFCI outlet myself safely and correctly?
Yes, you can install a GFCI yourself, but it must be wired on the correct line/load and tested. If you’re unsure or any test fails, call a licensed electrician in Denver. Errors near water can be dangerous.
Quick GFCI test:
- Plug a lamp into the outlet and turn the lamp on.
- Press the GFCI’s test button. Did the light go out? If not, the GFCI is not working or has not been correctly installed. Contact Brothers to correct the wiring and/or replace the defective GFCI.
- Press the reset button. Did the light come back on? If not, contact Brothers to replace the GFCI.
