Excuse me, as a professional practitioner in the field of finance and with a growing interest in home improvements, I've often wondered about electrical safety measures in residential buildings. Specifically, I'm curious about Ground Fault Interrupters (GFIs). Could you possibly enlighten me on whether every house nowadays is equipped with a GFI? I understand that GFIs play a crucial role in preventing electrical shocks and fires, and as such, I'm keen to know if this safety feature is a standard in modern homes. Thank you for your time and insight.

This includes bathrooms, kitchens, and any outdoor spaces that may come into contact with water.

If your home was built prior to these regulations, it may not have GFCI outlets installed.

The National Electrical Code (NEC) imposes stringent safety regulations on new construction projects, especially in areas prone to electrical hazards.

One such regulation pertains to GFCI outlets, which are specifically designed to reduce the risk of electric shock.

However, the NEC does not mandate GFCI outlets in older homes unless there is a wiring upgrade or renovation.
