Do all electrical outlets in a garage need to be GFCI?

Yes, but you can feed multiple outlets from one GFCI outlet. Make the first outlet fed in the cicuit a GFCI. Search for GFCI outlet with Google, etc. and I'm sure you will find an explanantion of how. Most GFCI's come with instructions also.


How many elec outlets can a GFCI detect?

A GFCI can detect ground faults on the specific circuit it is connected to. If multiple outlets are on the same circuit protected by a single GFCI outlet, the GFCI can protect all of them. However, if the outlets are on different circuits or not downstream from the GFCI, they would need their own GFCI protection.

Do both the breakers and the outlets need to be GFI if you are running two 15 amp GFI circuits?

If you're using a GFCI breaker then the entire circuit will be protected by just the breaker alone. Every receptacle, switch, etc on that breaker will utilise the GFCI protection. You may have problems with it tripping if you plug in a motor (vacuum, etc) on the circuit.


Does a GFCI need to be on an independent circuit?

No, it can be on a circuit with conventional outlets.


When would it be a better idea in a residence to install a GFCI breaker instead of an GFCI outlet?

GFCI Breakers are quite a bit more expensive than a GFCI outlet. More often than not a typical residence will need only a handful of GFCI outlets that combined together will be cheaper than a GFCI breaker. If you need to protect a series of outlets with GFCI protection you can simply connect the rest of the outlets on that same circuit downstream from the first outlet on the line and make that the GFCI. All you have to do is connect all the other outlets to the LOAD side of the GFCI outlet. If a GFCI fault occurs in any of the outlets down stream they will trip that very first GFCI plug you placed and keep you safe.


Where do I need GFCI outlets for electrical safety in my home?

You need GFCI outlets in areas where water is present, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor areas, to help prevent electrical shocks.


Does an outdoor outlet need to be GFCI protected?

Yes, an outdoor outlet needs to be GFCI protected to prevent electric shock and comply with safety regulations.
