What does it mean when the (electrical) wiring in a house is
piggybacked? Is that good or bad (is it a cheap way of doing things)?
Is there any complications that could happen because of it?


In addition to what RBM said there is also a term called "Pigtail". It is
good if your house was wired this way. Especially if it aluminum wiring.
