## Intro: GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets provide added protection against electrical shock by automatically shutting off power if they detect a fault. They’re essential in areas prone to moisture, like kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. ## Benefits: GFCI outlets significantly reduce the risk of shock or electrocution and are required by code in wet locations. They enhance safety by providing an instant power cut during faults. ## Risks: Homes without GFCI outlets in moisture-prone areas are at increased risk of electric shock. DIY installations that lack proper wiring knowledge may also compromise GFCI performance. ## Conclusion: GFCI outlets are essential for modern home safety, particularly in wet areas. Professional installation ensures reliable function and compliance with safety standards.
