    Great info. Thanks! If I have receptacles without a ground wire, but I installed 3 prong outlets, what should I consider to make it safe (primarily only bedrooms and a living room have this issue) (I’ll have an electrician do it, but I want to be educated a bit first).

    I would say to install a GFCI outlet with a label that says no equipment ground.

    I'd use a GFCI receptacle and label it no equipment ground.
