I guess I am confused about garages also. I was under the impression that single dedicated outlets for refrigerators and freezers and ceiling outlets for garage door openers were both exempt from GFI protection. I found this site stating. It is dated May, 2007. Is this no longer acceptable? http://ecmweb.com/mag/electric_branch_circuits_part_2/ If I am incorrect please steer me in the correct direction as to where I can find current info. So according to what I am reading above, it is no longer acceptable to have any outlets in a garage that are not GFI protected?
