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 bathroom,
garage, 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 is 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.
