Yes, two-prong outlets are a clear sign of an ungrounded system, which is a common issue in many historic homes here. Improper grounding prevents surge protectors from working and increases the risk of shock. Our inspection will assess your entire electrical panel and wiring to determine the best solution for bringing your system up to modern National Electrical Code standards, which may include installing grounded three-prong outlets with GFCI protection for enhanced safety.

During our inspection, we specifically test for proper grounding at your main service panel, individual outlets, and major appliances—key areas where faults often occur in our area.

This detailed approach helps us identify and rectify the specific grounding deficiencies that can compromise your home's electrical safety in Doylestown.
