The National Electrical Code calls for GFCI Outlets to be used in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas of your home where water is used. Depending on when your home or condo was built you might not have GFCI outlets installed since the code was not in place during the original construction. To increase the safety of your outlets and meet your local code you might want to consider replacing standard outlets in your bathroom and kitchen with a GFCI. In this video I will show an example of replacing the first in a string of 3 outlets with a GFCI which then protects all 3 outlets with ground fault interrupt capability.
