An apartment owner would like all the old receptacles replaced with Decora. The ones close to the kitchen sink are not GFI recep. If I replace them am I obligated to install a GFI recep.
In Ontario you don't have to replace them with GFCI receps., as you are just performing a like for like replacement.
which would mean the original split recep. would now only be a single circuit recep. To bad they don't make a GFI that could be split. Thanks
My local ESA inspector will allow me to replace a non-GFCI split with a single GFCI.
However, if the property owner will go for it, the best solution would be to put in your split Decora receps. protected by a DP GFCI breaker.
