Currently in the process of purchasing a home. Built in 1955, the home has had various work done to it over the 6 decades it has been around. One thing has been that electricians appear to have installed GFI outlet covers on many outlets that are not actually 3 wire. (In my head anyway) this is not a huge deal as I would simply not plug in phone/computer into an unprotected outlet, and also be wary of water around ANY outlet, whether it's allegedly GFI or not.
Does anyone have any experiences with products such as this that seem to offer a surge protector for your house (at the panel?). Would this be a way to mitigate any issues surrounding the "fake" 3 wire outlets? (vs. re-wiring as necessary).
