Code-required shock and fire protection for kitchens, baths, bedrooms and outdoor circuits - installed right.
GFCI and AFCI devices are two of the most important safety upgrades in a modern home. GFCIs protect against shock in wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors; AFCIs protect against fires caused by arc faults in wiring. CR Electric installs and replaces both to meet current code.
If your home is older, you may have few or none of these protections. We'll evaluate your circuits and install the right devices - outlets or breakers - so your family is protected where it matters most.
For over 25 years, homeowners and businesses across the New Orleans metro and Northshore have trusted CR Electric for honest, code-compliant electrical work. We're licensed and insured, we pull the proper permits, and we give you up-front pricing before any work begins - with 24-hour emergency service from two locations.
A GFCI prevents electric shock by cutting power when it detects current leaking to ground - used in wet areas. An AFCI prevents fires by detecting dangerous arcing in wiring - used in living areas and bedrooms. Modern code requires both in their respective locations.
It may be doing its job - detecting moisture or a faulty appliance - or the device itself may be old or wired incorrectly. We'll find the cause rather than just resetting it.
Code applies most strictly to new work and remodels, but adding GFCI/AFCI protection to an older home is a worthwhile safety upgrade we strongly recommend, especially in kitchens, baths, and bedrooms.
