Warranty Coverage (1 to 2 years from the date of original settlement)

Your statutory warranty should cover the repair or replacement of any failed electrical component within your condominium.

GFCI outlets are designed to protect people from electric shock.

The current at an outlet flows from the hot wire to the neutral wire and the current flow is balanced (equal). The GFCI outlet monitors this flow and will trip the circuit if there is any interruption or imbalance in this flow. It is able to sense an imbalance as small as 5 milliamps and can react in less than a second.

The GFCI outlet will also protect regular outlets that are wired to the same circuit as the GFCI outlet. In electrical terms, it will protect outlets that are wired “downstream” from the GFCI outlet.

GFCI Receptacles (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)

It is recommend to check the operation of your GFCI outlets once a month. You can test the outlet by pressing the TEST button on the GFCI outlet. If the circuit does not trip when the TEST button is pressed, then the GFCI is not working properly. If your GFCI outlet is no longer functioning properly, you should contact your warranty provider. If your warranty period has ended, you should contact a licensed electrician.
