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 portable unit that plugs into the
electrical outlet or a permanent unit installed by your
electrician. The National Electrical Code now requires
GFCIs in the 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 into water while it’s plugged in,
the electric shock can kill you… even if the
switch is “o.” A regular fuse or circuit
breaker won’t protect you under these circumstances.
A GFCI oers you far 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 which reacts immediately to
a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity
