The areas that should be protected - Exterior plugs, garage plugs, plugs next to a sink or tub. Kitchen and / or island plugs. Remember, one plug can protect an entire circut.
Yes, there are several ways to wire them. If you only want some plugs to be GFI (only the actual GFI plugs) protected then you wire them using just the "load" screws. if you want the whole circuit to be protected (or just two separate portions) the GFI plug must be first in the circuit and the protected plugs wired off of the "line" screws on the receptacle. Check the instructions, local codes, and with an electrician of course. Be safe, GFI circuits can be tricky.
The GFI outlet was there for a reason, such as a bathroom or other location around water where there is more risk of a shock being harmful or lethal. If it was a GFI, keep it a GFI. Also that outlet may be protecting other standard outlets being fed from the GFI. You can only after the house has passed inspection after the house was finished being built. It's a requirement that all new houses have to have a GFI wherever there's water, but it's perfectly legal once you buy the house to do this modification. However, it's highly not recommended unless there's more than one GFI outlet hooked up to the same circuit. If there's more than one, it's optional to take one off and replace it with a standard outlet because you really only need 1 GFI outlet to protect the rest of the outlets on the same circuit. But if it's already there, just leave it as is. Example: power box>GFI>normal>normal>GFI>normal; end; You can take off the second GFI and and every normal non-GFI outlet will function like GFI. If you take off the left one, only the last normal outlet will be GFI protected, the ons to the left wouldn't.
No
Yes, that is fine.
GFI
To install a GFI plug, first turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker. Remove the existing outlet cover and outlet. Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals on the GFI plug, following the manufacturer's instructions. Secure the GFI plug in place and replace the outlet cover. Turn the power back on and test the GFI plug to ensure it is working properly.
