Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) and Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI) are critical safety devices required by the Ontario Electrical Safety Code in many locations. Ionix Electrical installs and upgrades GFCI and AFCI protection throughout Toronto and the GTA.
GFCI protection is required in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, outdoor outlets, and other wet locations. AFCI protection is required in bedrooms and most living areas to detect dangerous arcing faults that can lead to fires. We replace standard breakers and outlets with the correct protection devices, test everything thoroughly, and ensure your home meets current code requirements.
Upgrading to modern GFCI and AFCI protection is one of the most effective ways to improve the electrical safety of an older Toronto home. We handle the complete upgrade including any necessary panel modifications and ESA inspection.
