A modern-looking outlet does not guarantee a grounding path

Older circuits may not include an equipment grounding conductor. Simply changing the face of a receptacle does not create a grounding path that is not present in the wiring.

Look at the circuit, not just the device

When ungrounded circuits are widespread, homeowners may discuss whether targeted corrections or broader rewiring makes more sense. The appropriate method depends on the existing system and applicable electrical requirements.
