I have a freezer in my garage that is plugged into a GFI outlet.
I was told that this was not a good thing.

Would this be an easy fix by changing out the outlet, or should I
move the freezer which is a lot of work?

Thanks in advance.

Your local code may say that outlets in the garage must be GFCI.

Hopefully a NEC wiz will tell you if it's required at that level.

The 2008 removed the exceptions and you now need GFCIs on all
receptacles in the basement.



OP is asking about a garage outlet.
