I just bought a house that is wired through a Fuse Box. The outlets in
the entire house are the old-style 2 prong outlets. In order to run an
appliance that requires a ground I have to get a 3 to 2 prong adapter
and run the appliance unprotected.
My question is, should I upgrade the fuse box and replace it with a
circuit breaker. If I did so, would I need to replace every wire in my
entire house or could I just run a ground wire up to every outlet and
install a 3 prong outlet?
Also, I worked for an electrican during a summer so I have a general
understanding of wiring. Could I do this job myself?
