    I’m leaning the science behind home electricity. I want to install an outlet in my bathroom for a bidet but I realized I didn’t understand when and where I needed a GFI outlet. So I’m learning via a handful of books

    Similarly, I want to add another outlet in the basement for my cats’ automatic litter box.

    I also just replaced my Nest doorbell with a “dumb” doorbell but the chime won’t work. So I need to do some research on how the chimes work…

          On the back of the GFI the ports will be labeled, line or load. Line goes to the breaker box, load goes to all outlets you need protected.

      Which books do you use? I’ve been wanting to get better at understanding home electricity but I’ll admit electricity scares me a bit
