What is a GFCI circuit breaker?

A GFCI circuit breaker, installed in one of the service panel (breaker box) slots, adds GFCI protection to the entire circuit. GFCI circuit breakers make more practical sense in situations where all outlets on a circuit require GFCI protection. GFCI breakers can be expensive, though, so this is not always the more economical option.

Should I install a GFCI receptacle or replace a circuit breaker?

If you're a DIYer unfamiliar with working on a service panel, installing a receptacle is more straightforward and safer than replacing a circuit breaker.
