Just heard about this new house being built. The homeowner apparently want all gfci receptacles. Now don't get me wrong, Im a big supporter of gfci, but they said they do not want the breakers, just the receptcles.
It was explained to them that it would (breakers that is) provide protection of the whole branch circuit, and would most likely be cheaper in the long run instead of buying all gfci receptacles.
They claim they want the 'fault' limited as much as possible to the receptacles only. Oh well, its their MONEY. This is a good size house so Im sure the contractor will make thier money. This homeowner is not an electrician, they just going off of what someone told them. Whats your opinion of this?? Gfci breaker, or receptacles??
