We are in the process of purchasing a home. It is an older home (built ~1955), and has a 2-wire non-grounded electrical system.
I know nothing about electricity.
We do plan to replace the electrical panel.
I know nothing about electricity.
- Is this a human safety hazard?
- Is this an appliance hazard?
- Aside from re-wiring the entire home, do I have any options to ground the outlets?
- Is it common to just ground those outlets that need to be grounded (ie kitchen, office, bath, garage, entertainment areas)?
