GFCI and AFCI — What They Are and Why They Matter

In this episode of Wired Right, Stu explains two of the most important — and misunderstood — electrical safety devices: GFCI and AFCI protection.

You’ll learn:
What GFCIs and AFCIs do — and how they work differently
Why GFCIs protect people while AFCIs protect property
How the electrical code evolved — from the first GFCI rule in 1971 to AFCI’s introduction in 1999
What areas of your home must have protection today
How to test, inspect, and upgrade your home’s electrical safety

Stu also shares a true story of a homeowner whose outdoor outlet melted because it lacked GFCI protection — and how one device could have prevented it.
