It's likely that most houses, especially ones built in the last 30 years in the US, will have a nearby option.
My house was built about 15 years ago, and there's a light switch by my toilet, so I could run off of that. There is also an outlet in another room that shares a wall by the toilet, so that would be an option too.
I don't have experience with GFCI (which I imagine is probably code-required around wet areas), but running a regular outlet off of another one is super easy if one is technically (and safety) competent.
- avidiax 5y agoThat's what I did. Added a GFCI outlet below the light switch with an old work box. Hardest part was cramming all the wiring back in. Have a short extension cord to snake to the bidet. I don't think my landlord would even notice, since it blends so well, and now it powers a toothbrush charger as well. Plumbing is a non-issue, since you just split the toilet feed with a T-joint included in the kit.
