What You Get
What’s Included in Every Sandiparks Protection Job
Proper AFCI protection is about more than plugging into a special outlet.
Here’s what’s included in every GFCI and AFCI installation we
complete, with no surprises at the end.
Circuit Assessment
We identify which circuits require protection under the current code and verify whether your existing panel and wiring can safely support the devices. This prevents nuisance tripping later.
Correct Device Selection
We install the appropriate protection for the location, such as a GFCI outlet, an AFCI breaker, or a combination device. We understand that not all locations require the same solution, and we get it right.
Code-Compliant Installation
Each device is installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the current Ontario Electrical Safety Code, ensuring your home is compliant and passes inspection.
Full Testing & Verification
After installation, we test every device to confirm it trips properly and protects the circuit as intended. A GFCI or AFCI that isn’t tested provides a false sense of security.
Clear Explanation
We show you how to test and reset your new devices and explain what they protect against, so you understand exactly how your home is safer.
Installing a GFCI-protected outlet correctly requires understanding the code, the circuit, and the right device for the location. Every job we complete includes the full scope outlined above as standard, clearly priced in your written quote.

Proper installation and the use of the appropriate GFCI device for the location are essential to reliable GFCI circuit protection. A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) prevents electric shock by shutting off power when it detects current flowing to ground. For more than 10 years, our Master Electrician, Ryan, has been installing these devices in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas across the region.
AFCI protection works differently but is just as important. An AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) detects electrical arcs in wiring that could start a fire and cuts power before a fire can start. Modern Ontario code requires AFCI protection in many areas of the home, and we make sure yours meets those requirements.
Getting protection right also means avoiding nuisance tripping, where a device trips repeatedly without a real fault. This usually stems from improper installation or an incorrect device choice. Our experience ensures your protection works when it needs to, without the frustration of constant false trips.
Beyond installation, we help homeowners understand what these devices do. Many people assume all their outlets are protected when they aren’t, or don’t realize which areas of their home are legally required to have protection. We give you a clear picture of where your home stands.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
FAQs
Do all kitchen outlets need to be GFCI protected?
In Ontario, outlets on kitchen countertops and those within a certain distance of a sink are required to be GFCI-protected under current code. It comes down to location: countertop and near-sink outlets do, while some others may not. We assess your kitchen and install exactly what the code requires.
Do bathroom lights need to be GFCI protected?
Bathroom requirements depend on fixture location and proximity to water sources. Outlets in bathrooms require GFCI protection, and certain lighting near tubs and showers may as well. We evaluate your specific setup and ensure compliance with the code.
Do bathroom switches need to be GFCI protected?
This is a common point of confusion. The answer usually depends on the switch’s location and what it controls, rather than the switch itself. We review your bathroom wiring and confirm what does and doesn’t require protection under the current Ontario code.
Do outdoor lights need to be GFCI protected?
Outdoor electrical equipment is exposed to moisture, increasing the risk of electric shock. This generally applies to outdoor outlets and certain fixtures, which require GFCI protection under the code. We ensure your exterior electrical is properly protected from the elements.
Does a GFCI protect against power surges?
No, and this is an important distinction. A GFCI protects against ground faults and electric shock, not voltage surges. Surge protection is a separate system installed at the panel. We can advise on both and install the protection your home needs.
What's the difference between GFCI and AFCI protection?
GFCI is a device that detects ground leakage and protects people from electric shock. AFCI is a device that safeguards your home against fire by detecting hazardous electrical arcs in wiring. Both are essential, and modern code often requires them to be used together throughout the house.
