A GFCI outlet protects you from electrical shock if moisture is present. GFCI outlets are usually found in areas where there is a lot of water around such as your kitchen or bathroom. You can identify a GFCI outlet by the “test” and “reset” buttons on them. The “reset” button turns your outlet back on after it has tripped. If you’ve tried pressing the “reset” button multiple times to no avail, you will need to have a professional electrician from Triangle Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, and Electrical diagnose the issue.
