Hello,
I’m buying a house that was built in 1940, but was recently renovated. I got an inspection done. The first floor outlets are grounded, but the 2nd floor and attic bedroom outlets all show open ground. The sellers put in GFCI outlets in the bedrooms upstairs. I’m wondering if this is safe enough. I know it’s safe in regards to electrocution, but I have a terrible fear of house fires and with these outlets showing open ground, I’m terrified a fire could happen.
