...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 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 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 fl ow.
