This video will show you step-by-step how to replace an ungrounded outlet with a GFCI-protected outlet. Most older homes have two-prong outlets instead of newer, safer three-prong outlets. There are also many older homes where three-prong outlets have been installed in place of the older two-prong outlets. A home’s electrical system in both of these situations is not as safe as newer, modern systems because there is no equipment ground. In this video, I will show you how you can make your home essentially as safe as if it were wired with a three-wire (grounded) system. You can do this at a fraction of the cost of rewiring your home. This video will show you step-by-step how to replace a standard ungrounded outlet with a GFCI-protected outlet. It will also show you how to find the first outlet in a daisy chain so that one GFCI can protect all other outlets downstream.
