Non-Grounded Electric

[Zach Schwarzmiller]

The house I currently live in has non-grounded electric in certain rooms. I went in the trouble and put in ground for refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer. I did not do so for the outlets I plug my electronics into though. I simply use an adapter on a power surge protector and have never had any issues. Has anyone else in Washington State ever rented a house like this to other tenants? I am wondering if I can explain to them what I do with my electronics or if I am then putting myself in a liable for any non-grounded electrical issues which could arise. Would love to hear anyone who's had experience with this oppinion. Thank You!

the easiest way to meet minimum code in most areas would be to add gcfi breakers in thru panel. this meets the nec requirements however, some municipalities could have requirements that would exceed the minimum nec code...

Easiest way to know for sure is to call the city inspectors office and ask.
