A GFCI outlet stops any electrical current “leakage” in its tracks before it has the chance to spark an electrical fire. If you live in an older home that could be prone to electrical oddities, GFCI outlets are a major asset for fire prevention and protection.

AFCI
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) are now required in modern homes. They protect against electrical arcs that can be hotter than 10,000°F, which can easily ignite wood, insulation, and other materials.1 Here is some background information on the technology plus 5 benefits of AFCI outlets.
What Is an Arc Fault?
Electricity normally travels through wires. An arc fault is when it leaves the circuit due to broken, cut, or cracked electrical wiring. It can then travel into the surrounding environment, causing objects it touches to become overheated. Home fires can result, causing injuries, deaths, and a great deal of property damage.
