Dishwasher and disposal GFCI???

I have a outlet under the sink for the disposal and a outlet behind the dishwasher. Code wise, do these need to be GFCI. I thought I read they didn't, but want to be sure. thanks

Outlets that are relatively inaccessable should not use GFCI protection. Definitely not for the refridgerator.

The only outlets in a kitchen that need to be GFCI protected are receptacles serving the countertop.

Rewiring bathroom fan/light swtich

C

crockett_18 on Feb 03, 2003

I have an unfinished basement, and plan on adding a bathroom. The Light is installed and the ceiling fan, but both are activated on the same switch, and I want them sepearate. I allready examined the switch and this is how it is wired. From the light there is wire going from the light to the fan and that is it. From my limited wiring knowledge, I assume that I would disconnect the power wires from the light and run that to a new switch, and then bring in power to the switch. But this is where I am not sure how to wire it up. From there I want to add one outlet for the new bathroom. If anyone can help me out please do. Sorry if it's hard to understand, I am not sure on the proper terminology.Read More

3-Meter Socket Base? Price!!

R

rmelo99 on Feb 03, 2003

I am going to be upgrading the service on a 2-amily home of mine. The upgrade will require the meters to be installed outdoors. Since most of the surrounding homes are 3 family units, I want to install a 3-Meter base for future conversion to a 3 family home. I have am having several bids on the upgrade but I am pricing materials myself. I priced SquareD and CutlerHammer panels. $1300-1500!! Both panels are 200Amp per pos, and are ringless. A 1 Meter Base costs between $150-250. Can someone guide me in the right direction. A neighboor down my street did a similar upgrade involving a 3meter base, however his was only $700. He does not know the brand. The difference I noticed with his base is that each meter socket appears to be seperate but like they snap together to form one unit. Does anyone know of this type?Read More
