I have a new home. Why does my refrigerator or freezer, located in my garage, keep going off?

    Unless you made provisions with the builder for a dedicated circuit, the outlets in your garage are GFCI Protected per National Electrical Code. This device will not tolerate the additional resistance load created by refrigeration equipment. The GFCI senses there is a fault, and therefore trips off. The only cure to this problem is to provide a dedicated, non-GFCI circuit allowable by code.

    ATTENTION

    We're looking for journeyman and apprentice electricians!
