If you must use your hair dryer in the bathroom, install a GFCI* now!
Your local electrician can help you decide which type is best for you – a poable unit
that plugs into the electrical outlet or a permanent unit installed by your electrician. The
National Electrical Code now requires GFCI’s in bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of
all new homes.
Why do you need a GFCI?
Electricity and water don’t mix. If your hair dryer falls in water while it’s plugged in, the
electric shock can kill you– even if the switch is “off.” A regular fuse or circuit breaker
won’t protect you under these circumstances. A GFCI offers you greater protection.
A GFCI can save your life!
Compared to that, the price is small!
Don’t wait… install one now!
*GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by
stopping the electricity flow.
