Outlet Grounding in Seattle
No Ground Wire in Outlet? Upgrade for Your Safety!
Electrical systems include a positive charge, a negative one, and a ground
to keep everything flowing properly. When a home isn’t grounded,
you could find yourself getting shocked more often, and your appliances
and electronics could fry. Is your home properly grounded? One way to
check is to look at your existing outlets. If they look like the "no
ground" image pictured here, they are not grounded. Seatown Electric
Heating and Air can inspect your home’s electrical system to ensure
you and your family stay safe.

Ensuring Your Home Electrical System Is Safe
Along with dangers of shock, grounding problems can make for issues such as hum in electronics and even static in old TVs! By making sure your system is properly grounded, you’ll likely save on your electrical bill while enjoying better performance from your appliances.
There are a couple of different ways to meet code with grounding:
- Install a ground wire at every outlet: To do this, you would either rewire all of the outlets or pull a stranded ground wire from box to box. The rewire method is recommended since the labor is the same cost. Our Seattle electricians can handle this process quickly and efficiently.
- GFCI-protect the circuits or individual outlets: You can swap out every outlet in the home that is ungrounded with a GFCI outlet and the GFCI outlet can act as a physical ground.
- Install GFCI breakers: These special breakers act the same as a GFCI outlet but they control all of the outlets/lights hooked to the breaker.
Ground rods are also essential. NEC code requires two eight-foot rods driven
into the ground. Usually, there is a copper wire coming out of the home
down into the ground to connect them to the electrical panel. If you have
no ground, you owe it to yourself to have a technician look over your
electrical system.
