Question: What is a ground fault circuit interrupter?
Alex: Correct! Also known as GFCI - you are now in the lead.
Faulty GFCI receptacles are frequently found by inspectors. This is a fairly easy do it yourself project vs having an electrician do it.
Using an inspector before you list your home can end up saving you a lot of money on repairs. We highly recommend Discovery Inspections.
