Have a Worry-free, Enjoyable Celebration with GFCI installation.
Everyone as a kid saw those warning cartoons of the swimsuit-clad person standing in a puddle of water with an extension cord in one hand and the boombox cord in the other. Their hair is charred and standing on end as lightning bolts shoot out and smoke curls up. It is a somewhat humorous picture but does warn of a simple truth. Water and electricity do not mix. The danger of injury and death is absolutely real. GFCIs, or ground fault circuit interrupters, are the ideal solution to this electrical hazard.
Because even a small electrical shock can cause a human being's muscles to seize(including those that pump blood and facilitate breathing), it is beyond the body's capacity to get out of danger. The GFCIs sense an imbalance in a circuit and interrupt the flow of electricity. While this is important inside the house, the obligatory summer water fun makes these practically essential for an outdoor electrical supply.
No Shock Pool Pumps
Pools are a big part of life in Florida. The summer heat and humidity make them the perfect outdoor activity spot. They are great for exercise and entertainment, but they can be a safety hazard in more ways than one. Pools must have a pump to stay clean and appealing for swimming. Pumps must have electricity to operate. The problem here is that the area in and around pools are wet, and a leak in a hose or exposure in the wiring can end a fun 4th of July party faster than someone can say "Independence Day."
However, if a GFCI outlet is installed, any abnormality in the circuit will cut power to the pump, preventing an electrified puddle in the yard. It's such a good solution that it's against code to not have a GFCI by the pool. The only danger that a homeowner will have to worry about is running around the pool.
Lovely Lights and Pool Safety
- String Lights
- In pool lighting
- Solar lighting
All of these are highly complementary to an outdoor pool space as well. Florida is known for heat as well as humidity and precipitation. This is where GFCIs enter the picture. Outdoor outlets responsibly installed as GFCI outlets will greatly increase the safety of a customer's outdoor activities. The 4th of July party will be nothing but sparklers and laughter.
Worry-Free Fans and Electronics
Again, because of the Floridian climate, fans and other outdoor cooling systems greatly convenience outdoor gatherings. Music from an outdoor speaker system provides the perfect ambiance. Environmentally-friendly electric gardening and landscaping tools may need to be plugged in to prep for the big bash. Homeowners can concentrate on the fun when they know their home is equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters. If customers think of safety first, then the fun can last all summer.
