Default 15A outlets on 20A circuits

, I am using regular 15A Decora and GFI's, and for the fridge,
microwave just wanted to use regular outlets, like the kind you can
get a 10Pk for like $5 at Lowes.

15 amp outlets are fine. The refrigerator doesn't need to be GFCI
protected, but all the counter outlets do.


The refrigerator should NOT be on a GFI. Let me repeat that, do NOT put the
fridge on a GFI. If it trips, the fridge goes dead and the food spoils.
