Dear Mr. Tedesco:
I don't know if you have the time to answer questions, but I am at the end of my rope.
GFCI protection: I am receiving conflicting information from the local electrical gurus -all knowledgeable folks.
Specifically: 1960 house has old two-wire fabric covered Romex (with no
ground). There is no ground at the metal receptacle boxes. The conflict is
this: (A) I am told by several sources that I can afford a degree of
protection, particularly in wet areas, by installing GFCI's in these
locations. (B) I am told by others that GFCI's are useless without wiring
them to a ground.
I certainly would like to take the less expensive alternative of putting in
GFCI everywhere, but not if it's useless.
If you can answer, thanks.
