Good day to you.
I want to use a large walk-in closet as an office space. There is a light switch in the closet that I would like to replace with an outlet and switch combo. There is no ground inside the box. There is a capped neutral. The breaker is 20 amps.
To protect my devices (computer, monitors), should I use a GFI? Do the GFIs need to be grounded to function?
Or should I just get a non GFI outlet?
I've read a few blogs but the difference of opinion and jargon is confusing.
Forgive my lack of proper terminology.
I do have minimal experience assisting an electrician installing outlets.
