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
bathrooms, garages, & 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.
