By all means, consider having a good electrician rewire your house for more than one reason. For starters, people who lived in your house before you may have tinkered with fixing and wiring themselves. I've seen Teflon wire used to run a "new" fixture in one house I had. In another place a gang of wires wrapped in duct tape was lying in the attic. I got a shock when I merely touched it! We had a fire at my business ($500,000) in 2001 due to a mouse chewing wires in the attic. If I were to build a new house, it would have MC (metal clad) wiring everywhere. You'll have good peace of mind if you rewire and your house value will increase!
Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955
I'm not sure if this post is in the correct topic, but the title says it all. I live in a house that was built back in 1955 and this house has very few grounded outlets. I use power strips throughout the home and have never had a problem occur.
I plan to upgrade one power strip and my question is if I use a power strip like this one
Would I have a wiring fault as the outlet is not grounded?
This power strip doesn't have a yellow light built in.
I'm not an expert in the field so that is why I'm asking.
