Because of this, you should make sure to give an electrician a call, rather than risk the pain of doing it on your own. Grounding an outlet requires attaching a wire and running it all the way from your outlet to the grounding screw at the back of your electrical box, which is often a long, complicated endeavor, and exceedingly painful for the inexperienced - sometimes “shockingly” so. If your home is grounded but some of your outlets are not, bringing in a licensed electrician is the best way to ensure the modifications are completed safely and correctly. To ensure safety, eventually you’ll want to have grounded outlets. We’ll reattach the plate and apply a NO GROUND sticker. We then test the outlet by pushing RESET to turn it on, and then TEST to shut it off. ![]()
