What Are the Signs That a Safety Device Needs Repair?

These protective devices are built to respond instantly, but when they stop working properly, the signs are often subtle. Ignoring them can leave your system exposed, especially in the parts of your home where risk is already higher. That’s why we recommend checking in as soon as something feels off.

Here are some common signs your AFCI or GFCI unit needs attention:

The “reset” button won’t stay engaged or doesn’t respond at all
Outlets connected to the unit lose power intermittently
Buzzing, warmth, or discoloration around the faceplate or panel
Frequent or unexplained tripping without an obvious cause
No power at the device even when breakers appear to be on

These devices are your home’s first line of defense—and when they’re not working, that defense is down. We’ll pinpoint the problem, resolve it quickly, and make sure your protection is active again before we leave.

Fixing the Protection You Count On

Most of the time, you don’t even think about these devices—until something goes wrong. They’re designed to work quietly in the background, but when they fail, it can leave your outlets, appliances, or even your entire circuit vulnerable. Our electricians don’t just reset or replace—we investigate why the issue started and make sure your home is truly protected. It’s not just about restoring function—it’s about restoring trust in the system that keeps your home safe.

What causes a GFCI to stop working completely?

A GFCI may fail due to internal damage, water exposure, old age, or incorrect wiring. If the reset button doesn’t work or the outlet has no power, it could mean the device has reached the end of its life. We’ll test it, confirm the cause, and install a new one if needed. The process is quick, clean, and ensures protection is restored right away.

Why does my AFCI trip when nothing is plugged in?

This can happen if there’s an arc fault somewhere in the wiring, even without an appliance in use. Loose connections, damaged insulation, or wiring routed too close to metal surfaces may all be the cause. We trace the circuit, test for faults, and correct the issue at its source. That way, your protection device works the way it was designed to—with fewer false alarms.

Can a faulty device cause other outlets to lose power?

Yes—especially if the devices control multiple outlets on the same circuit. When these devices trip or fail, they may shut down everything downstream. We check the circuit configuration and identify which areas are affected. Then we restore safe, stable power to each connection point.
