Ask about this serviceThe approach
Testing the devices that protect you.
GFCI and arc fault protection live in your panel and in specific receptacles. We test the devices themselves and the circuits they protect, using proper testing methods rather than just pressing a button and hoping. Where a device fails or behaves oddly, we tell you what we found.
Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms can also be tested as part of the visit — including battery or replacement concerns on aging units. Note: we test residential smoke and CO alarms, not commercial fire alarm systems.
What gets tested.
- GFCI receptacles and protected circuits tested

Built-in benefits
Why regular testing matters.
Protection you can count on
A tripped-when-tested GFCI, a smoke alarm that actually sounds — testing confirms the safety devices in your home respond when they need to.
Catch failures early
GFCIs, arc fault breakers and alarms wear out. Regular testing surfaces failed or aging devices before an emergency does.
Code-relevant protection
GFCI and arc fault protection are requirements in modern code for kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and more. We identify where protection should exist and test what does.
Clear findings
You get a straightforward picture of what passed, what failed and what is worth addressing — no guesswork.
Common questions
Good to know
Do you test commercial fire alarm systems?
No. We test residential smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, GFCI and arc fault circuits — not commercial fire alarm systems, which require specialized fire alarm technicians.
How often should these devices be tested?
Manufacturers generally recommend monthly testing of smoke and CO alarms, and GFCIs should be tested monthly as well. A professional test adds confidence, especially on older homes or after renovations.
Can you replace devices that fail?
In many cases yes — failed GFCI receptacles, smoke and CO alarm replacements, and arc fault breakers are common replacements. For larger electrical work we can facilitate repairs through our partnered electrical contractors.
