Do I need a GFCI for lights in the garage?
no. as long as the lights or switches for those lights are not out in the wheather and cann't get wet.
Do all electrical outlets in a garage need to be GFCI?
Yes, but you can feed multiple outlets from one GFCI outlet. Make the first outlet fed in the cicuit a GFCI. Search for GFCI outlet with Google, etc. and I'm sure you will find an explanantion of how. Most GFCI's come with instructions also.
How do you program garage door opener on 2008 avalanche?
Garage Door Opener Programming - UniversalImportant: Do not use the garage door opener (GDO) with any garage door opener that does not have the stop and reverse safety feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.Ensure that people and objects are clear of the garage door while performing programming operations.Programming the GDO for Rolling Code ReceiversThis procedure will learn a rolling code garage door opener to the GDO transmitter. The learn process must be completed within 30 seconds.Press the two outside buttons of the GDO for one to two seconds, then immediately release them.Locate the "Learn" or "Smart" button on the garage door opener receiver (located on the garage door opener motor-head unit). It is often found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit and may be a colored button. Refer to the garage door opener operator's manual for assistance. Press the "Learn" or "Smart" button. The garage door opener operator's manual may provide assistance in determining when the unit is in learn mode.Immediately return to the GDO transmitter in the vehicle. Press and hold the button that is to be learned; the LED above the button will begin to flash slowly. When the garage door moves, immediately release the button. The LED will flash rapidly until programming is complete.Press the button used during the learn operation again in order to verify that the GDO transmitter has been programmed.The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types of garage door openers. If the GDO LED does not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the garage door opener.Programming the GDO for Fixed Code ReceiversThis procedure will learn a fixed code garage door opener to the GDO transmitter. To determine if the customer has a fixed code garage door opener, remove the battery cover on the customer supplied transmitter. If a row of dip switches is present, the garage door opener is a fixed code version. The transmitter should have anywhere from 8 to 12 switches. The garage door opener receiver may also have a set of dip switches. If the number of switches on the receiver and the transmitter do not match, use the receiver switches to program the GDO. Each dip switch may have either two or three positions. The two position switch can either be ON or OFF. The three position switch can either be ON, NEUTRAL, or OFF.Write down the positions of the dip switches. The positions of the switches will be entered from left to right into the GDO using the three buttons.Press all three buttons on the GDO for three seconds and immediately release them. The LEDs should flash slowly, indicating that the GDO is in programming mode.Enter the positions of the dip switches one at a time. If a position of a dip switch is on, press the left button on the GDO. If the position is neutral, press the middle button of the GDO. If the position is off, press the right button of the GDO. Enter all of the positions of the dip switches. The procedure must be completed in two and a half minutes.Press and hold all three buttons on the GDO until all the LEDs turn on.Press and hold the button that is to be learned; the LED above the button will begin to flash slowly. When the garage door moves, immediately release the button. The LED will flash rapidly until programming is complete.Press the button used during the learn operation again in order to verify that the GDO transmitter has been programmed.The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types of garage door openers. If the GDO light does not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the garage door opener.Erasing ChannelsTo erase programmed channels, press and hold the two outside buttons until the lights on the GDO transmitter begins to flash. Once the LEDs begin to flash, release both buttons; all learned codes are now erased.Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be reprogrammed using the procedures above
Do you need a gfci outlet if you have a gfci breaker?
Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.
Where does a GFCI go?
GFCI protection is required for most outdoor receptacles, bathroom , garage wall outlets, kitchen, and all receptacles in crawl space.
The GFCI has tripped off that controls my bedroom lights and garage outlets and i cant get it to reset why?
There is three possible reasons for this. First, check to make sure that the breaker also did not trip, a GFCI outlet will not reset if not powered. Second, if the load that caused the GFCI to trip is still plugged in it will not allow the GFCI to reset. So, before trying to reset the GFCI unplug everything that it protects. Third, you might just have a bad GFCI, attempt the above suggestions first and if it still will not reset you will need to replace the GFCI. If after all this the you are still having problems then something more serious is wrong and you need an on site electrician to diagnose the problem.
Where must GFCI receptacles be installed in residential garages?
All receptacles in a garage must be GFCI protected by code. Typically, the first receptacle in the circuit (location is irrelevant) must be a GFCI, then all others down stream in the circuit will be protected, and can be common receptacles.
Do you need a gfi plug for a spa if it is being plugged into a gfi circuit?
If your spa is connected with a GFCI circuit breaker you will not need the GFCI receptacle.
Why and when would you use a GFCI breaker within a older home with a groun?
You need a GFCI outlet at any location that is within 6' of a water source. You also need a GFCI outlet in a room with a concrete floor, any garage, and any location outside the home or under the home in the crawl space. A GFCI outlet protects you from electrical shock near water or moisture. You can protect more than one outlet with 1 GFCI outlet. Connect the incoming power to the LINE side of the GFCI outlet and all the other outlets getting power from that outlet to the LOAD side of the GFCI outlet. That way they will all be protected by 1 GFCI. A GFCI breaker is used to protect an entire circuit and not just individual receptacles. It is often cheaper to use GFCI receptacles than a breaker, especially if "piggy-backed" such as described above. It is also more convenient to reset a GFCI receptacle than to reset a breaker. But your question is "why." From this I suspect you may be misunderstanding the difference between a breaker and GFCI protection. To keep things simple let me say that a GFCI does not work on the same principles as a standard breaker. It provides a much safer protection than a standard breaker. Even with a ground you need GFCI protection as listed above.
Where are gfci outlets required?
GFCI receptacle's must protect any outlet that is within 6 feet of a water source, outside the home, in a garage, on a deck, in a sunroom, in a bathroom, unfinished basements, kitchens, & crawl spaces.
When would it be a better idea in a residence to install a GFCI breaker instead of an GFCI outlet?
GFCI Breakers are quite a bit more expensive than a GFCI outlet. More often than not a typical residence will need only a handful of GFCI outlets that combined together will be cheaper than a GFCI breaker. If you need to protect a series of outlets with GFCI protection you can simply connect the rest of the outlets on that same circuit downstream from the first outlet on the line and make that the GFCI. All you have to do is connect all the other outlets to the LOAD side of the GFCI outlet. If a GFCI fault occurs in any of the outlets down stream they will trip that very first GFCI plug you placed and keep you safe.
