My rental house was built in 1985 and there is some kind of master GFI (for lack of a better term) in the garage that controls all the GFI outlets in the house. I'm told all the houses are built like this now. My property manager sent out an "electrician" to check on a light switch that wasn't working. While there, he said he noticed the outlets in the kitchen and bathrooms were not GFI and took it upon his self to install GFI outlets. He didn't even know enough to know they were controlled by a central GFI. Anyway, now I have GFI outlets but also still have the GFI that controls them all.
A friend of mine said they basically cancel each other out now and that now it's unsafe! Does anyone know how this works? I am totally ignorant of electricity and how it works and I'm trying to explain this as best I can.
