Why Choose Malone Electrical Solutions

Our licensed electricians at Malone Electrical Solutions are trained to assess your household’s energy usage and provide you with the solutions you need to ensure that all outlets and plugs in your home are safe and are installed correctly. Whether you need GFCI outlets or AFCI outlets, our electricians can assist you, with professionalism and respect for your home and your time. 

• GFCI plugs are “ground fault circuit interrupters,” required in any areas with increased risk of shock from electrical hazards. GFCI plugs will protect you and your family from electrical shock.
• AFCI are “arc-fault circuit interrupters,” and they protect you from electrical dangers that may be caused by a rodent chewing on a wire, driving a nail through a wire, or a device overheating when plugged in. 

Both GFCI and AFCI outlets are safe, reliable ways to ensure that your home is protected from risk.

Where You Need GFCI Outlets

GFCI outlets are small, extra-sensitive circuit breakers built right into outlets that protect you against electrocution – even in outlets that are not grounded. 

GFCIs are currently required for use in:

• Bathrooms
• Kitchens
• Laundry and utility rooms
• Garages
• Crawlspaces and unfinished basements
• Wet bars
• The exterior of your home/business
• Spa and pool areas

GFCI outlets cannot be used with refrigerators, freezers, or other appliances.

Where Do I Place AFCI Outlets?

AFCI outlets will shut down the outlet before damage can occur and are not built into walls like GFCI outlets but have specialized circuit breakers in your home or business’s main electrical panel. 

AFCIs are required in:

• Bedrooms
• Any sleeping area: dens, foldout couches, etc.
• Kitchens
• Laundry areas

A combination of GFCI and AFCI outlets will protect your appliances, your home, and your family.
