Looking to get some feedback or perhaps someone who could give me a bit of advice regarding some electrical work.
I recently moved into a new rental and 2 of the rooms in the rental are still using 2 prong outlets. I am wanting to swap out the 2 prong for 3 prong and I know there are a few ways of doing this.
I know that one way is to use GFCI plugs but then label them as non grounded but I am looking at having them properly done so equipment can be used correctly in these rooms.
Now I have full access to the attic, basement (had drop ceiling and open ceiling in laundry room), and the electrical panel. The electrical panel has 67 slots and not even half is being used.
Has anyone done this type of work before and if so which course did you go and if you had to re-run new wiring what was the cost? I took a look inside the box and its using old 2 wire and not metal encased.
