Electrical Services Edmonton
Subscribing RMS homeowners have peace of mind that their electrical components are properly serviced. Our team at Residential Maintenance Services Inc.
is expertly trained in servicing, repairing and maintaining your home’s electrical components as
well as your electronic equipment.
Electrical repair and work are best left to the
professionals. Trying to “do-it-yourself” can lead to
serious injury to you and damage to your home.
Instead of taking that risk, why not let our experts
take care of the work for you? Here are the electrical
services we proudly offer:
GFCI Electrical Outlets and Receptacles
Ground fault circuit interrupter outlets (GFCIs) are electrical outlets designed to reduce the risk of shock and electrocution. They can be installed in the interior or exterior of your home. You’ll know you have GFCI electrical outlets in your home if your outlets feature “TEST” and “RESET” buttons.
In your home, the flow of electricity is contained within insulated wires and the electrical current should run safely through them to switches and outlets.
However, electricity will always try to find a way to get to the ground. This unintended path is known as a “ground fault”.
GFCIs contain a sensor that monitors the flow of electricity and when it senses a ground fault, will shut off that flow to the outlet. Thereby, reducing serious injury to the homeowner. These outlets are serviced, repaired, and maintained by our expert team at RMS.
AFCI Operation
Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are designed to detect arcing electrical faults in order to reduce electrical fires in your home. Arcing occurs when an electrical current flows through an unplanned path and creates a high-intensity heat. This can cause surrounding materials to ignite into flame.
AFCI and GFCI technologies complement each other nicely in providing complete protection to your home.
Ensure your AFCI is functioning properly by having RMS inspect this component.
