My son just bought an older home built in in 1981 in Orlando, Fl. I went through every circuit to correct any "abnormalities" or improper wiring details. I am unclear on one point.
As I understand it, any outlet in a garage should be GFI protected and there is the one that also leads to the two bathrooms for those outlets. Yet, there is a dedicated 20 amp. circuit with a regular outlet that serves just the washing machine, but this is in the garage itself. Should I upgrade the outlet to a 20 amp. GFI? Does the code now require this? Just want to do things the right way. Thanks!
