Where do toilets with bidets get their electricity?
In: Technology
You can install an GFCI outlet behind toilet. At least that’s what I did and what I know a lot of people do.
Well, some bidets don’t need electricity. Plenty of them just require an additional hookup to the cold (and maybe hot) water lines.
Those which do require power, they will most likely be hooked up through some wires in the wall, to the same power circuit which supplies the bathroom’s light switch, hair dryer outlets, etc.
Why would a bidet need electricity?
We plug ours into the outlet by the toilet, but they also make bidets that don’t heat and thus don’t need electricity if your bathroom isn’t wired for a bidet.
When I built my home, I paid extra ($80 per) to have an electric outlet behind each toilet.
I won’t call it the best money I’ve ever spent, but it’s up there. It’s very nice having a bidet on every toilet.
My neighbor paid an electrician around that much ($100?) to put an outlet behind one of their toilets a few years after their house was built so they could have a bidet in their master bathroom.
