Where GFCI outlets are required

A GFCI outlet shuts off power in a fraction of a second when it senses current leaking to ground, which is what happens when electricity passes through a person. Code calls for GFCI protection anywhere water and electricity can meet: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages, unfinished basements and outdoors. Many older homes in Michigan have none. Adding it is one of the least expensive safety upgrades available.

What does outlet installation cost in Michigan?

Outlet installation cost in Michigan depends on how far the new outlet is from an existing power source, what the walls are made of and whether the circuit can take more load. Replacing an existing device is quick. A brand-new outlet on an exterior or plaster wall takes longer. Several outlets done in one visit cost less each.
