What is the proper way to wire a GFCI outlet with line and load wires?

The proper way is to have a licensed electrician identify the incoming “line” and any downstream “load,” then wire the GFCI to meet code and provide protection where needed. We install code‑compliant GFCIs in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms. Our team inspects the panel, tests the circuit, explains options, and completes approved work in a single visit. Express emergency service is available for hazardous issues in Minneapolis and nearby cities.

• Don’t guess line vs. load; have it tested.
• Decide if you want downstream outlets protected.
