The National Electrical Code requires GFCI outlets in new construction or remodeling of kitchens, garages, laundry rooms and bathrooms. It requires AFCI outlets for new work on kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms and laundry rooms. So, the easiest solution to stay ahead of the game on your income property is to have dual functioning AFCI and GFCI outlets installed all around the living quarters. These handy dual functioning outlets help prevent electrical shock and residential home fires.

Insurance companies are please to see these dual functioning outlets and your tenants will be too. If you’re merely flipping the property, imagine the security these outlets will provide a potential buyer. Paying attention to this detail by going above and beyond electrical code requirements is a plan for the future and an investment that is noticed. This way, even if you haven’t installed all new electrical wiring, the residence is already significantly safer.
