...can save a life!
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 off. A
regular fuse or circuit breaker won’t protect you
under these circumstances. A GFCI offers you far
greater protection.
A GFCI can save your life! Compared to that, the price is
small! Don’t wait...install one now!
* A GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immediately to
a small electric current leak by stopping the flow of
electricity.
