Hello. There is an existing house that is without power. Since the power has been off for more than a year, in order to get the power turned back on the city requires that there be GFCI protection for devices near sinks, smoke detectors installed in each bedroom and outside of each bedroom, and carbon detectors installed if there is gas in the house or it has an enclosed garage. (the POCO also will not hook up the power if there is a 60amp meter base, and rightfully so) They have updated the required items, but they have a plug-in type carbon detector. Is that legal? I've never seen one, nor can I find a code reference for it. I'm assuming that it must follow the same rules as the smokes, but I'm asking you guys to be sure lol
Thanks,
Kenny
