FYI: Not all outlets are created equal.
Audible GFCIs take home safety to the next level because hearing a problem could mean preventing one - like a sump pump that stopped working or a refrigerator that lost power.
These smart outlets alert you with a sound if they stop working properly, so you’re never left guessing if your protection is down. ⚡✅
💡 Perfect for spots like garages, bathrooms, kitchens—anywhere water and electricity meet.
🎉 Right now, we’re offering $50 OFF your GFCI installation to help more Maryland homeowners stay safe and informed.

The smart ones stay away from gfi on refrigerators and sump pumps.
I’m getting these for my apprentices
finally a good idea, being that they want thease things everywhere now including fridge, and pumps!
Should honestly NEVER be on a refrigerator or freezer. BS Overzealous NEC
14/2 for gfci? Its that code
Sump pumps are not to be on a gfci, they are under the exceptions list to a gfci.
Glad there is an audible GFCI available now. I once was tearing my hair out trying to find out why my guest bath outlets in my 'new' house stopped working and no breaker was tripped. I had to call the prior owner, learning that circuit was on a circuit with a (hidden by some of my boxes) GFCI outlet in the garage on the backside of that bathroom. An audible GFCI outlet would made things simple!
Fridge need yellow wire
Never put the fridge or freezer on a GFCI.
refrigerators do not like GFCI outlets I found out. lol
This would have saved me a brand new deep freezer and an entire cow that was in it.
That’s genius!
Love the video and sharing something that is seldom seen, at least in my experience. Hopefully not too many people have their GFCI behind their fridge, in my area the requirement to have the fridge on a dedicated circuit has been almost always ignored pre GFCI/AFCI adoption and was slaved off one of the kitchen counter receptacles making this a great improvement. To build on the tip you've shared what I started doing in situations where the GFCI protection originated from the receptacle behind the fridge is to install and traditional receptacle behind the fridge and pull the gfci protection from a gfci installed next to the panel. The audible alarm is loud enough you can hear it on the 2nd floor coming if located in the basement and the need to pull the fridge out in order to reset the breaker is eliminated. I don't do new construction but when working in homes where the fridge has lost power without anyone knowing I've gone to a straight AFCI combination breaker and used a GFCI with alarm for the GFCI protection in the past. If I were wiring new houses currently I would advise using a smart receptacle which if using the right one would allow notifications to a mobile device if it ever lost power which for $10-$15 offers a great increase in functionality and perceived value for the customer along with the impression that their EC cares enough to consider things like this which with any service make all the difference. Well done and useful, nailed it!
As a person not in the trade this seems like an incredible good ideal.
