Current electrical code updates for 2014 include:

  • GFCI protection for laundry areas
  • GFCI protection is now required for all 125-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles installed in a laundry room, whether or not a sink is present.
  • GFCI protection for kitchen dishwashers
  • There is an increased risk of electrical shock as today’s dishwashers age. As a result, a new provision requires GFCI protection for all dishwashers, whether they include a receptacle outlet or are hardwired in.
  • AFCI protection for kitchen and laundry areas
  • AFCI circuit breakers prevent fires by detecting unintended electrical arcs and disconnecting power before those arcs result in fire. The list of areas required to provide AFCI protection has been expanded to include kitchen and laundry areas. It includes all 120-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere branch circuits supplying not just outlets but also devices that are installed in rooms requiring AFCI protection.
  • Dedicated circuits for the charging of electric vehicles
  • New provisions have been added requiring a dedicated, separate branch circuit serving no other outlets for charging electric vehicles to prevent the overloading of circuits. In addition, a receptacle should be installed for each space of a multi-car garage.
  • Extra-duty covers at wet locations
  • All 15- and 20-ampere, 125- and 250-volt receptacles installed in a wet location – including temporary installations - must have an enclosure and covers that are weatherproof whether an attachment plug cap is inserted or not.
  • And hundreds of other changes furthering electrical safety…
