Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
(GFCI)
(US only)
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 GFCI’s 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!
*GFCI is a sensitive device which
reacts immediately to a small
electric current leak by stopping
the electricity flow.
