...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
GFCI’s in the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor
outlets of all
new
homes.
WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?
Electricity and wa-
ter 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.
