What’s the difference between a grounded and an ungrounded outlet? Can you tell the difference? There’s a few telltale signs that you should be aware of that will help keep you and your family safe!

So what is the safest solution to your 2 prong problem? According to current NEC code standards, “a grounding type receptacle (three prong) shall be connected to a functioning equipment grounding conductor. Nothing can actively ground a receptacle without running a new wire.”
The only way to guarantee that your outlets are grounded and up to code is to have them rewired by a professional electrician. to find out more about the safety hazards of ungrounded outlets or to upgrade to grounded outlets, contact GEN3 Electric today!
