is gfci outlet good replacement for two-prong non-grounded outlet ??
Hi, I own a house built in the 1950's so currently none of the outlets are grounded. idealy/eventually i want to add a grounding rod and rewire the house but until then i was wondering how good of an idea replacing all the 2-prong outlets with GFCIs is ? My understanding is that such a replacement is blessed by the NEC ? Thanks in advance, Matt |
