Outlet Replacement & Grounding for Antique Homes

Safe, discreet upgrades to bring your outlets up to code—without damaging your home’s original charm.

Are Your Outlets Ungrounded?

If your home was built before the 1960s, there’s a good chance at least some of your outlets aren’t grounded. That means they have two-prong openings instead of the modern three-prong standard. Ungrounded outlets not only limit what you can plug in—they pose serious shock and fire risks.

At CJH Electrical, we specialize in upgrading ungrounded outlets in antique homes in ways that are safe, clean, and minimally invasive.

Our Outlet Upgrade Services

Outlet Replacement

We replace old two-prong outlets with modern three-prong grounded ones, including GFCI where appropriate.

Ground Wire Installation

Where feasible, we run new ground wires to properly bond outlets for full code compliance and long-term safety.

GFCI Solutions for Ungrounded Circuits

In some cases, we can use GFCI protection to safely upgrade ungrounded circuits when running new wire isn’t an option.

Whole-Room or Whole-Home Plans

We assess your system and work with you to create an outlet upgrade plan that fits your needs and budget.
