Every GFCI outlet we install is tested for proper function before we leave.

I really appreciate your guy coming here to take care of my furnace. He was kind, helpful, and took care of the problem in a short amount of time. I would recommend your services to any. Thank you so much!

We had to replace an outdated heating system. Jordan, Travis and Dillion were awesome. Great customer service. They also helped us get a rebate through our power company. Highly recommended.

Competent. Priced fairly. Professional. Can't say enough good about these guys.

Jordan and crew fixed my mini-split leak quickly and got me running again before summer hits. They were professional and communicated well. Their pricing was very competitive - nearly 1/3 the cost that one of their competitors quoted me for the same repair. Would definitely call them back for future work!

Minuteman Services are very efficient, explained what the job entailed and completed it well. Appreciated timely service, knowledge and efficiency!

Called on a late Saturday and got an immediate response from Shane. He helped me trouble shoot and saved me big money, fixed our eletrical problem. Cannot say thank you enough!!!

Our furnace went out, and Travis and the team were able to quickly get over and give us an estimate on a repair and a replacement. (As a courtesy, they even have a lock box with space heaters if you need to get through a night or two without heat.) We ended up not only replacing the furnace, but adding central air as well. They were able to get it done in 2 days, and the system is super quiet and distributes the heat and A/C really nicely. They even added an outlet to the outside of the house, which is great because we didn't have any before! There was a small issue about where the furnace was venting out. We have an enclosed deck, and it was just venting out onto the deck. Despite not being in the bid, they routed the vent out to the side so that we wouldn't be breathing in any more exhaust/CO! However, it didn't look as clean as it could be the first time they did it, and we had some suggestions to make it look better that Travis fully supported and said that they would take care of (even though it was like an additional project in the first place). They redid it with a good attitude, and it looks really clean now! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Minuteman! Even got this nice red hoodie as an appreciation gift 😀

Excellent Service Top Notch Service Jason And Dillon And Crew Very Experienced A Jop Well Done Thank You All So Very Much. Brian Ruth Kidder

We had Minuteman retrofit our main ductwork to make the air distribution more efficient and eliminate "hot spots." The crew was professional and efficient. I'm very pleased with their work. I recommend them without reservation!

You guys were great. Best customer service I've had in a while always returned your calls and worked with you as far as financing and did a great job in a timely manner would 100% recommend them.

Minuteman lives up to their name! Called before they showed up, arrived on time and provided an same-day estimate for a furnace replacement. Again, called and showed up on time on the day of the replacement, and finished within the promised time. Talked through the operation/maintenance of the new unit and maintenance plans and made sure all questions were answered. ...and the price could not be beat (less than half of some others!) I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

Quick to respond and very reasonable and thorough. I've had them do a few things and they've done it with great quality.

My furnace went out while it was -5° outside and Minuteman was able to be there quickly and get it running fast! Other companies that have looked at my furnace in the past have said it’s past its life expectancy and that I need replace it, but Minuteman took the time to make repairs and explain proper maintenance to try to get more life out of my older furnace! They never once mentioned a replacement.

This company provided incredible service. They came to our home quickly to inspect our furance, which in the end did need replaced. The employee who came to our home was so helpful and informative with each step of the process. The next day, employees came to install the new furnace and worked diligently and thoroughly. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing furance/HVAC needs. I will definitely be a return customer.

Travis was excellent in finding out what was wrong with a furnace he was checking out for me! I would use Minuteman anytime! They are great people.

My daughter’s cadet heater stopped working after smoking and they came same day to diagnose and replace the unit. Thank you for caring for our family in a timely manner!

Jason and Trevor were very friendly and knowledgeable in replacing our furnace. Highly recommended.

Minuteman Services go the extra mile to do all they can to help! Jarrod and Travis were fantastic! They were very efficient and quick to come out to fix the problem. I highly recommend these guys. They know what they're doing. Thank you!

What an amazing team of people! They work so hard to take care of their clients. They got my furnace replaced quickly so that I could keep myself and my dogs warm in the middle winter. Thank you!

The guys at Minute Man are the best. Very professional and knowledgeable I highly recommend them.

I was tight for time and they scheduled me in. Huge help. And the tech they sent was professional, personable and quick. These folks get the nod for all HVAC related work in the future.

Our whole family in the area uses Minuteman Services! From electrical work to HVAC work. We just had them install two brand new heating systems on Dec 12 & 13th 2024. The AC systems will be installed in the spring. Very professional and willing to answer all my questions. Their workers were very respectful of the house when they did the install putting down floor protectant and cleaning up everything.

I was very pleased with the thorough evaluation and repair that Travis provided. In the future, I will contact your company and request Travis. Thank you!

They were very helpful, explained the wiring problems and went above and beyond in getting the parts we needed. They were polite, respectful of our home, and diligently cleaned up after their work. I appreciated very all their hard work.

They did an excellent job in diagnosing and repairing the two issues we had. They were courteous and tidy during their visit. I would definately use them again.

Timely and professional. Stayed to get the job done during the holidays. Would recommend.

All the guys at minute man services did a great job at our place. we were impressed with thier professional job they did for us. They all were courteous and punctual. They cleaned up too!! I would recommend then highly. Thank you again.

They service anything from small jobs to big jobs. Extremely hard to find a company that will do a small electrical job. These guys do it all. Fast,friendly service for a reasonable price. Highly recommend this company for your electrical needs and service 👏.

I was having an issue with a breaker and these folks did a great job fixing it. Ted pinpointed the problem and Shane and crew came out and fixed it. I highly recommend this company!

We were very impressed in the timely manner that Minuteman serviced our furnace! They were very helpful and answered all of our questions. We will be calling them again!

Great service, did exactly what they said they would do and got the new furnace installed.

Ted did some electrical work for us, was super responsive on the phone and helped me trouble shoot multiple issues that were 100% my ignorance not any fault of the work he did. He also made some thoughtful suggestions to improve the ideas we had. Update Dec 2024: I needed electrical work done on a new home after moving and Minuteman came through again! They were on time, had good ideas to help me get all the outlets i needed and were diligent about making sure I had everything done to my satisfaction. Great crew. Great service.

These guys always do great work and respond right away. Highly recommend for all HVAC needs

Great company. Travis communicated well, showed up when he said he would, offered a timely appointment and options to proactively care for my equipment going forward. That was a painless service call- broken heater experience! Thank you.

Minuteman's electricians are awesome. I needed help with some breakers that were constantly flipping. They were able to quickly identify the issue and gave me several options on what to do. Their bid was in range of what I would expect that kind of repair to take. They were very professional, on time, and patient with all my questions so I can be a better informed homeowner. 5/5. I highly recommend them!

Fast. Good work. Great prices. They are great to work with. Highly recommend

This Crew did an amazing job that came through and did what they needed to do showed me after what they did and cleaned up everything after themselves and sat and explained and had asked us if we had any questions or if we need anything

Justin and Jarod ROCK!!...AND TRAVIS 😉 Sorry Travis, for some reason I keep mistaking you for a Justin. Travis, ROCKS!!! It is so good to have our furnace up and running again. Great work and fair price. Will be wanting a complete furnace upgrade through Minuteman. Cannot say enough positive things about this company.

Jarrod was the absolute best. He came and fixed our issue with our heat. He was fast and he did an amazing just. 10/10 service. Ask for Jarrod he did the best service and was professional.

Very responsive and gave me great customer service! They were able to get out there the same day and fix my furnace. Highly recommend 👍

We used Minuteman Services to do an annual service on the HVAC system in our office. They were very easy to work with and did a great job. Their fees were not exorbitant either! They didn't waste time, explained things to me and offered to set up a maintenance plan for winter and summer. I would highly recommend them for both home and office HVAC needs.

Minuteman was great. Very responsive and flexible, timely delivery, made the whole swap-out a complete breeze. Highly recommend.

My main reason for replacing my old HVAC system is to save money on my high electrical bill. Minute Man Service did an outstanding job replacing my 20 year old HVAC system and replaced it with a more efficient HVAC system that includes a 2 stage a/c & thermostat. Jarrod Mount was the tech who removed the old system and installed the new system. Jarrod was also the person who came to my house and submitted the bid I could not reject because of the very reasonable price. I therefore give Minuteman Services my highest recommendation.

This is best I've worked with. Affordable, knowledgeable, friendly and professional! I will definitely call on them again. Thank you guys.

Ted and his crew came on time, established their plan of action, ran wiring through the crawlspace to exterior conduit and heat cables on the roof, ensured they left no trash or tracks in spite of the rain and carefully explained how to use the system before they left. A superb job by a group of professionals!

Great service. Friendly, detail oriented and very professional. A great company for your electrical needs. I will use this company again and again.

I had the best experience with Jarrod, Shane and the Minuteman Services crew. They were honest, reliable & professional to work with. They installed a cadet heater, sub panel, washer & dryer plugs as well as interior and exterior lights in our Shed. They even helped me choose the fixtures which I appreciated! They completed the entire job within one day making sure they did not interrupt our renters at our Cabin which was very thoughtful. Can't wait to work with them again!

Very prompt service, extremely knowledgeable staff and courteous interaction.

Travis was very polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. He explained Contracts for service and we were pleased with no hidden costs. We’re confident we’ll get what we pay for.

Minuteman services was amazing! They provided a quote for my furnace replacement, answered all of my questions, and provided wonderful communication. The day they installed my new furnace, they were very kind and did a great job. If you need a new furnace, this is the service to use! Thank you Minuteman Services!

My husband and I just opened a new business, and needed some last minute electrical work done before we could open. Minute Man was able to get there very quickly and help us with what we needed for a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them!

We used them for an electrical problem in a mobile home. They were very quick on finding the problem and getting it fixed. Price was very fair! Highly recommend them!

Minuteman services did a fantastic job installing the electrical in our basement. They were quick to respond and schedule us. The communication was great as well during the install. We were never left wondering if or when something would be done. They gave clear timelines and stuck to them. The company was very honest and reasonable.

Ted and Shane did excellent work upsizing my electrical panel and connecting the heat tape for my gutters. They are both easy to talk to and very professional. I highly recommend their work to anyone.

Always an excellent job. These guys are professionals and know what they are doing. And we can always count on them.

Great experience with this company. First of all honesty and integrity, I appreciated his friendliness, communication, he was on time, even had it done before he thought it would be. Definitely would recommend them. Local Family owned and operated was also a plus for me. Sitting here in my nice cool house on a hot day! Thanks MinuteMan Services!

My air conditioner quit working. Called Minuteman Services the next morning and they showed up by noon and had the issue resolved within the hour. Great customer service, and quick response time.

These guys are amazing, excellent technicians and fair prices. you guys rock!!!

Completely recommend Minuteman Services. We have had them repair our AC unit at a much more reasonable price than competitors. Most recently they have done annual maintenance on our AC unit and furnace. The techs and the owners are honest, prompt, courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable and won’t try to sell you unnecessary services. I will call them every time for our HVAC needs.

Jarrod and his team are amazing and very professional and transparent. Highly recommended for all your service needs!!

Minutemen services was fantastic to work with! We had to replace our furnace and our ac. They were quick and efficient and definitely had a much more reasonable price than some other companies that are around town. Highly recommend them to anyone.

Always makes our tenants a priority and is very friendly and knowledgeable. These guy are my go to for any HVAC or Electrical needs!

Ted and his team did an excellent job in installing the electrical wirings and connection for my heat tape. I highly recommend him.

Friendly. On-time. Work was done right. Reasonable prices. Can't go wrong with the locally owned Minutemen!

During the last repair of our AC unit, we spoke with Minuteman about the eventual replacement of our AC unit. Unfortunately, that happened sooner rather than later (no fault of Minute Service) and they were able to give us an accurate quote, without having to come back, because they had taken some detailed notes and photos the previous service visit. They provided a fair and reasonable quote and even offered to help provide some temporary measures to ensure we had some relief from the hottest temps of the summer so far. Great work, they protected the area they were working from damage and kept me informed of the status. Highly recommend Minuteman Service for any of your HVAC needs

We used Minuteman to service our furnace and to fix a few electrical issues we had to address before selling. Communication and scheduling were great, I was able to get someone to my home within the same week. I felt they were very knowledgeable and efficient; I also feel that I paid a fair price for the service. I would highly recommend for any electrical or HVAC needs.

I can not say enough positive things about this service! Travis was extremely professional- always kept us informed on status via a quick text update, the price was extremely reasonable and the service was much quicker than we expected during a very busy season! Give them a call- you won’t regret it!

Travis was AMAZING. Showed up early, was so kind, responsive, and taught as he went. His prices were so fair! You have a customer for life!

I had a fire at my house due to my AC and needed electrical. I was recommended Minuteman Services by a co-worker. I am so glad she did. Jarrod got someone out to get me a quote same day. When I was ready for the repairs, I called Ted and he set me up the next day. Everyone we have come in contact with has been very nice and understanding. Their prices are amazing too. I will be using Minuteman Services for all my HVAC and electrical needs from now on.

Amazing service, outstanding work by Travis. Affordable prices. I’ll be using them again in the near future

Super friendly, easy to work with. They were in and out. Great communication

Jordan and Aiden were amazing. The customer service was exceptional and they definitely went the extra mile for me and my business! I Highly recommend them!

Great Service and great job on all their jobs they did for us!! I recommend them highly!!

I am a Senior so having a company like Minute Man do repairs & installations with such professionalism & caring was an extremely positive experience. Dylan, Devon & Travis are an outstanding team of workers. When they left I had no questions because they explained & went over everything. As well as the clean up, it was as if no one had been here. Thank you!

Travis was quick to respond to our request for assistance in setting up a new mini-split system. The team was very good to work with and their installation was clean and quick. They were able to finish in 3 days after projecting 4 days originally. They were very good to communicate alterations that were necessary and include us in the decision. The team was considerate of our schedule and made sure we were pleased with the end product, which we are.

Ted was great when I called to schedule and followed up the day of service. Shane called to let me know he was on the way and did a great job. He even cleaned up behind himself, the only way you could tell he was there, was the excellent job done. All around great experience and fair price. Thank you so much.

I filled out a request online and they contacted me that same day. They showed up the next day to do a bid and started the job the following business day! They did a great job, were affordable, professional and courteous! I would highly recommend Minuteman Services for your electrical work!

We had minute man services replace our furnace, I am very pleased with their work! Definitely will be recommending to family/friends.

I needed help with my furnace in a hurry and had no idea who to trust. A friend recommended Minute Man and they were great! Timely, professional, quality service for a good price. I highly recommend them to others!

We had Minuteman do some electrical work for us recently, running new ethernet cable for security cameras. Shayne was very responsive, prompt, friendly, and did a great job. Definitely recommend them!

Minuteman came out to replace our heaters, put in new ventilation fans, and install a heating/AC unit. They were very respectful, friendly, and even took time to play fetch with our dog. They were alway here when they said they would be, and called each time to let us know they were on their way. They took care to treat our home like their own. They took precautions to keep things clean, and left the floors and things as clean or cleaner than when they got here. Can not recommend them enough!!!

Contacted me back very quickly after waiting over a year for a previous company to show up. They were quick and professional. Awesome work. Jordan and devyn did amazing
GFCI Outlet Installation in Idaho Falls, ID
Installing GFCI outlets is one of the most important electrical safety steps you can take in your home or business. A GFCI, or ground fault circuit interrupter, protects people from electrical shock by cutting off power when it detects an imbalance in current. This makes it essential in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor spaces where moisture is present. Our licensed electricians at Minuteman Services install GFCI outlets that meet code and provide peace of mind. We make sure each outlet is wired correctly and tested for fast, accurate protection. Upgrading to GFCI outlets helps reduce liability in both residential and commercial properties. For remodeling projects or new construction, we ensure your entire system meets safety requirements.
Many homes in Idaho Falls still rely on outdated outlets that are not GFCI protected. This leaves families at risk for electrical shock, especially in high-risk areas. Our team replaces old or damaged outlets with reliable GFCI models that activate instantly during a fault. We assess your current wiring and make the necessary updates to bring your system up to standard. If you are adding new appliances or finishing a space, we install GFCI outlets where required by code. We also offer complete outlet inspections during other electrical work. Our technicians complete every job with care and verify proper installation before leaving your property. GFCI outlet installation is a simple upgrade that adds a powerful layer of safety.
Installing GFCI outlets in Idaho Falls, ID is a key safety upgrade for any property. GFCI outlets are designed to monitor the electrical current flowing through a circuit. If the current flowing into the outlet differs from the current returning, the outlet will shut off power in a fraction of a second. This function helps prevent serious electric shock injuries. Areas with moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor spaces, must use GFCI protection to meet building code. Minuteman Services installs GFCI outlets that are tested and certified for reliable protection. Every installation includes an inspection to confirm the outlet is wired correctly and will function as intended. We make sure all required locations are covered to keep your home or business safe.
Upgrading to GFCI outlets in older homes can greatly improve electrical safety. Many Idaho Falls properties still have standard outlets in high-risk areas. These outdated outlets do not provide automatic shutoff protection, which increases the chance of shock. Our electricians identify locations that require GFCI upgrades and replace unsafe outlets. We use high-quality parts rated for long-term use. Minuteman Services will explain which areas need protection based on current codes. We also check the wiring behind each outlet to ensure it is compatible with GFCI devices. If any wiring or connections need to be updated, we handle the repair as part of the job.
GFCI outlet installation is essential for home renovations and remodels. Whenever a kitchen, bathroom, or utility room is remodeled, local and national codes require GFCI outlets to be installed. Minuteman Services works with homeowners and contractors to ensure each outlet is placed correctly. We coordinate with your remodeling schedule to install outlets during the right phase of the project. Our team follows all NEC guidelines for placement and installation. We label and test every GFCI outlet to confirm functionality. If the outlets serve outdoor circuits or garages, we install weather-resistant models with protective covers. Proper placement and protection help prevent future electrical issues and ensure the space is ready for inspection.
Commercial properties also benefit from GFCI outlet upgrades. Restaurants, offices, warehouses, and shops in Idaho Falls need GFCI outlets in bathrooms, break rooms, and outdoor areas. Businesses must stay up to date with safety codes to avoid liability. Minuteman Services provides full GFCI inspections and installs outlets that comply with all commercial standards. We also handle high-demand settings like commercial kitchens and workshops where water and tools are used together. Our electricians can update your panel and circuit layout if needed to support the new outlets. We work efficiently to minimize downtime and make sure your property is safe for staff and customers.
Routine testing and maintenance are critical after GFCI outlets are installed. These outlets should be tested monthly to ensure they are working properly. Minuteman Services shows homeowners and business owners how to use the built-in test and reset buttons. If an outlet fails a test or stops working, it should be replaced immediately. We offer service visits to check, reset, or replace faulty GFCI outlets. Some models may wear out faster due to heavy use or outdoor exposure. Our team installs long-lasting outlets and provides service plans that include routine checks. Keeping GFCI outlets in working order helps ensure they provide the protection they are designed for.

Most Common GFCI Outlet Questions
GFCI outlet installation is important for preventing electrical shock in areas with moisture or exposure to water. These safety devices are required in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor outlets. Our licensed electricians install GFCI outlets that meet code and protect your family and property.
A GFCI outlet, or ground fault circuit interrupter, is a type of electrical outlet that shuts off power if it detects a ground fault or current imbalance. It prevents electrical shock by cutting off the electricity in a fraction of a second. GFCI outlets are required by code in areas where water is present, including bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, and outdoor locations. These devices are especially important in older homes that may not have been built with updated safety standards. Our electricians install GFCI outlets that meet current NEC requirements and improve home safety. A GFCI outlet has test and reset buttons to check functionality and restore power after it trips. Regular testing is recommended to ensure the device is working properly.
Installing a GFCI outlet is not just about code compliance but also about protecting the people in your home. Our electricians can install these outlets quickly and safely with minimal disruption. We handle both single outlet installations and full upgrades throughout your home. Some GFCI devices also offer features like tamper resistance and weather resistance. These upgrades provide added protection in homes with children or outdoor installations. Minuteman Services uses only high-quality GFCI devices that are UL-listed and rated for long-term performance. If you are unsure where GFCI outlets are needed, we can help assess and recommend upgrades.
Many homeowners overlook how important it is to update older outlets with modern GFCI protection. Electrical codes have evolved and many older homes do not have these safeguards in place. Our team can assess your system and recommend where GFCI protection is missing or outdated. This small update makes a big difference in home safety and insurance compliance. Some insurance providers even recommend or require GFCI protection in certain areas of the home. We ensure your installation is done right and tested thoroughly before we leave. Call Minuteman Services to schedule an inspection or installation.
The easiest way to check is to look at your outlets for the test and reset buttons that GFCI devices include. Outlets in your bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, basement, garage, and any exterior areas should be GFCI protected. If they are not, your home may be out of code or lacking basic electrical safety. Our electricians can inspect your system and identify missing or outdated GFCI coverage. We commonly find missing protection in older homes or in new additions where safety was overlooked. Any outlet near a sink, bathtub, washing machine, or hose should have GFCI protection. Code updates now require GFCI outlets in even more areas than in the past.
Our team specializes in upgrades that meet the latest NEC safety codes. We handle everything from replacing one outlet to rewiring entire circuits for proper protection. If your outlets are old, damaged, or ungrounded, we may recommend additional electrical work. Installing a GFCI outlet does not require major changes, and our team completes most jobs the same day. We take the time to explain the importance of each upgrade and where you are vulnerable. Minuteman Services always puts your safety first and makes sure your installation is correct and up to date. Every job ends with a full safety check and power test.
It is also important to consider GFCI protection during home renovations or appliance installations. Adding a hot tub, washer and dryer, or outdoor kitchen without GFCI outlets increases the risk of shock. Builders and homeowners alike sometimes forget this requirement during remodels. Minuteman Services can review your entire electrical system and recommend where improvements are needed. You are never obligated to move forward, and we give clear, honest recommendations. We believe in transparency and doing what is right for each property. Contact our team to schedule a safety assessment or outlet upgrade.

Yes, GFCI outlets can fail or become less effective with age. These safety devices have internal components that wear out or stop working after years of use. Most electricians recommend testing GFCI outlets monthly and replacing them every 10 years. You can test them using the built-in test button. If the outlet does not trip or reset correctly, it should be replaced immediately. Our team can test each GFCI outlet in your home and replace any that are no longer reliable. Faulty outlets are common in older homes and should not be ignored. Failure to replace them may leave you unprotected in high-risk areas.
Minuteman Services offers full-home inspections to check the condition of your outlets. We also test outdoor and garage outlets which are more likely to fail due to weather and wear. If we find issues, we explain your options and pricing before moving forward. Our goal is to upgrade your safety while staying within your budget. GFCI outlet replacement is a fast service that restores peace of mind. We can also upgrade to tamper-resistant or weather-resistant models if needed. All replacements meet or exceed local code requirements.
Some signs of failure include buzzing, cracking, or warm outlets. Tripping without load, physical damage, and failure to reset are also indicators. If you notice any of these, schedule a visit with our team. We do not take chances with electrical safety and neither should you. Replacing a failed GFCI outlet is much more affordable than dealing with the cost of shock or fire. Minuteman Services is here to help you stay protected with reliable, modern equipment.
A GFCI outlet, or ground fault circuit interrupter, is designed to protect people from electric shock. Unlike a regular outlet, it monitors the electrical current flowing through the circuit. If it detects a difference between the hot and neutral wires, it shuts off power instantly. This feature is critical in areas where moisture is present, like kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor spaces. Regular outlets do not provide this level of protection. Our electricians install GFCI outlets to meet safety codes and reduce electrical hazards. Every outlet is tested for proper function after installation.
GFCI outlets play an important role in preventing serious injury or damage. They are required by code in many residential and commercial settings. Our team at Minuteman Services ensures all GFCI installations are up to current National Electrical Code standards. We also make sure existing outlets are upgraded when needed to meet safety expectations. We carry high-quality GFCI units in our service vehicles to allow fast same-day upgrades. Our electricians explain the function of each outlet and show customers how to test it monthly using the built-in button. This improves safety awareness and long-term performance.
You should replace regular outlets with GFCI outlets in any space with exposure to water or high humidity. This includes garages, unfinished basements, laundry areas, and utility rooms. Our electrical team will walk you through the home to identify every required area. We focus on compliance, safety, and giving you peace of mind. Our goal is to make your home safer without unnecessary upsells or confusion. We explain our recommendations clearly and follow through with clean, efficient installations. Safety and reliability come first at Minuteman Services.
It is possible for homeowners to install a GFCI outlet, but it carries serious risk if done incorrectly. Mistakes can result in electric shock, fire, or damage to the circuit. A licensed electrician ensures the outlet is properly grounded and wired to code. At Minuteman Services, we follow best practices to install GFCI outlets safely and efficiently. We test each installation using advanced diagnostic tools to verify function. DIY installations often skip these steps, increasing safety hazards. For most homeowners, hiring a professional is the smart and safe choice.
Incorrect GFCI installation may pass a basic function test but still fail under fault conditions. Our technicians ensure the outlet not only works but also trips properly during a fault. We check the wiring polarity and confirm all required connections are secure. We also label the outlet to indicate it is GFCI protected, which is required by code in some areas. This attention to detail prevents safety issues and inspection failures. Many insurance providers also prefer professional installation. When we do the job, it is done right the first time.
Minuteman Services delivers fast, expert GFCI installations across Idaho Falls. Our electricians are fully licensed and trained in residential and commercial code.

GFCI outlets should be tested once a month using the “Test” and “Reset” buttons. Pressing “Test” should stop power flow, and pressing “Reset” should restore it. This confirms the outlet is working properly and will trip if a fault occurs. Minuteman Services recommends monthly testing as a part of your home maintenance routine. Most GFCI outlets last 10 years, but some may fail earlier. We inspect GFCI outlets during every electrical service call to identify any signs of failure. Safety is our top priority.
If a GFCI outlet fails to trip during testing, it should be replaced immediately. Other signs of failure include hot outlets, frequent tripping without cause, or no power restoration after pressing reset. Our electricians carry replacement outlets and can swap faulty ones on the spot. This prevents delays and keeps your home safe. We also check for signs of moisture, corrosion, or overloading. Early detection saves money and reduces risk. If you are unsure about the condition of your outlets, schedule a full inspection with our team.

We also help landlords and property managers meet rental inspection requirements. Routine testing and scheduled replacements extend outlet life and reduce hazard risks. Our team is ready to help you get compliant and stay protected.
GFCI outlets are required in areas of the home where water or moisture is present. These include kitchens, bathrooms, garages, unfinished basements, laundry rooms, crawl spaces, and all outdoor outlets. These areas are at higher risk for electrical shock, and GFCI outlets help reduce that risk by cutting off power when a fault is detected. The National Electrical Code mandates GFCI protection in these locations to prevent injury and improve overall home safety. Minuteman Services follows the most recent code updates when identifying where GFCI outlets should be installed. We inspect your home and provide a clear explanation of which areas need to be brought up to code. Every installation is tested for safety and function before completion.
Our electricians provide full-service upgrades and new GFCI outlet installations in homes and small businesses. We often replace outdated two-prong or ungrounded outlets with new, safer GFCI units. This improves the protection in older homes that may not have been updated to current standards. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that GFCI protection is also required on outlets near kitchen sinks, bathroom counters, and utility sinks. We walk you through each space and explain where updates are needed. We do not guess or make assumptions. We base every recommendation on official code requirements and safety best practices.
