    Always use GFCI resetable outlets outdoors. Unless you want some technician to show up twice because he couldn't reset the circuit without access to your breaker panel.

    • @prime-eight
      @prime-eight 4 години тому

      Landscape lighting, irrigation, water features, Christmas light services, etc. Usually show up when you're at work. If they can't reset the circuit from outside the home then they will have to return costing you another service call and a day off work to simply reset a breaker in your garage. God forbid the outdoor circuit runs the garage doors... now you've involved a whole team of techs to sort out a simple electrical issue.
