Garage Door Openers Trip GFI Outlet...High Amp options?
I have a rental home that the tenants complain that they frequently need to reset the GFI outlet. Is there a higher-amp GFI outlet available? I could replace the GFI with a normal outlet, but that might be a code violation.

GFCI s do not trip because of over amperage. Try replacing the GFCI receptacle. If the GDO continues to trip it is either the wiring or the GDO that is bad. Is the GDO plugged directly in to the receptacle that trips or is an extension cord used?

... ceiling mounted receptacle, would it even need GFCI protection?
