| looked in one of my books (wiring-for pros by pros--reccomended by people on this forum) and it says under areas that need GFCI---"outlets for heating, AC, and refrigeration equipment" then under comments section it says "does not apply to evaporative coolers in one and two family dwellings" amd below table in note it says "new codes (depending on jurisdiction" may have removed the exceptions. see local inspector"
based on this and since my county on NEC 2008 and I did not find any thing on their paper regarding local addendums to NEC regarding this topic, I would assume that I have to have GFCI on the outlet near furnace, even where humidifier plugs in? But will have to ask inspector for sure i guess.
now it also says refrig equiment needs GFCI? This is not saying that your kitchen frig needs GFCI, is it? I did not think that was the case. |
