Where are GFCI’s Required?
GFCI receptacles are required in the kitchen, the bathroom, and laundry room. Outside the home, all receptacles and switches, even those in weatherproof boxes, should use GFCI circuitry. Don’t be frugal about placing GFCI switches and outlets, they are intended to help you protect your home against many things, including flooding, and sudden damage to your electrical wiring. The more GFCI’s you have, the better protected your home electrical system will be.
