I agree with the GFI protection on all household outlets. Good idea.


No, it isn't. You can get nuisance trips on refrigerators and
freezers. They have grounded cords and they don't need GFCI. I haven't
seen a new copy of the NEC lately, but I was told it is against code in
the US to use a GFCI to power either.

So don't use them on either. They are usually blocked for child access
anyway.


A GFCI won't protect a kid from sticking something into an outlet and
killing themselves if they are across line & neutral.
