How to Replace Electrical Outlets without Being Electrocuted

Oct 18, 2011 - It looks like that's an outdoor outlet, Shouldn't you have replaced it with a GFCI outlet?

tooldudetony Says:

Oct 18, 2011 - - Good catch, but this outlet is on a GFI circuit breaker, so using a GFI outlet is redundant and not required.

Mar 16, 2012 - ---I appreciate your feedback, Tom. However, I disagree with your assessment of the risk. This isn't rocket science. It's simple electricity. Take care

Mar 17, 2012 - Great video Tony. How much more difficult would it be to change out a non-grounded outlet with a grounded one?

tooldudetony Says:

Mar 18, 2012 - --- That is definitely a good idea. It is harder. You need to run (probably snake it through the wall) a ground wire all the way back to a bonafide ground like in your breaker panel.

tooldudetony Says:

Apr 4, 2012 - The GFCI is at the breaker in this home. This installation does not require GFCI outlets. Can you point us to a publication that supports your statement? I'm not joking.. can you please provide this? Thanks

tooldudetony Says:

Apr 4, 2012 - Check out Electrical Marketplace DOT c o m for information that describes the use of GFCI circuit breakers.

Apr 9, 2012 - Hey Tony did you get my last messages .

tooldudetony Says:

Apr 9, 2012 - I guess I'm not sure. I only got the one about the GFCI outlet.  This one's on a GFCI breaker.

TheSolarmechanic Says:

Apr 9, 2012 - Ok I spoke with an inspector today. GfCi Plugs in Bathrooms . All outlets in kitchen . Unless the outlet is used for Microwave, Frig , Garbage disposal. All plugs inside garage unless its for Hvac and garage door opener or an out side frig. All receptacles outside are to be GFCI. You can use a breaker or the receptacle . I would check your National Electrical Code book or Uniform Building code book should cover all aspects of what you need to do. If you have any questions call an inspector
