You can install a GFCI yourself if you’re comfortable working with power off and you follow the manufacturer’s wiring diagram. If you’re unsure about LINE vs. LOAD, box grounding, or outdoor/weather‑rated needs, hire a licensed, insured electrician. This avoids nuisance trips and failed protection in Clearwater or St. Petersburg.
Quick checks:
- Shut off the breaker and verify power is off.
- Connect incoming power to LINE only; use LOAD only to protect downstream outlets.
- Install, then press TEST and RESET to confirm operation.
