...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!
*GFCI is a sensitive device which reacts
immediately to a small electric current
leak by stopping the electricity flow.
