Whether you have a sump pump that runs every time it rains heavily or one that only runs when a severe storm blows in, you want to know that the power is on to the receptacle it’s plugged into.

Since these receptacles are required to be GFCI protected that could come into question especially if you are away. Well, Leviton has a solution.

Their Smart GFCI Outlet provides peace of mind by sending notifications directly to your smart phone when a GFCI trips due to a ground-fault, using the My Leviton app.

The app provides details on protection status, if a ground-fault occurs, and if the GFCI is in self-test mode. Through the My Leviton app, users will know exactly which Smart GFCI in their home trips and when.

This device is not only ideal for sump pumps but for refrigerators, freezers, and other appliances in out-of-the-way locations. Also great for second homes or other remote locations where daily visual checks are unlikely.

It also includes an optional audible alarm that can be enabled or silenced.

Home Depot carries these if you are comfortable working with electric. If not, reach out to us- we would be happy to install one for you!
