Why Ungrounded Outlets Are a Problem:

Shock hazard—no path for stray electricity to escape
Fire risk—especially with older wiring or aluminum
Can’t plug in modern appliances
Will fail inspection during sale
Most surge protectors won’t work properly

This isn’t just a plug swap—it’s about long-term safety.
