I’m honestly not entirely sure of the entire electrical situation inside yet. I do plan on having him look at the outlets for me when he does the job, though.

The outlets inside the home are almost all 2-prong. Some are shaped a bit weird, I believe the weird ones are “alternating current” outlets. The inside breaker box is new (2015 I believe). The house has no grounding and it seems this process will add… some grounding, just not for the inside outlets (since that’d be double the price).

I think I’ll try studying some electrician books or something eventually so I feel more prepared for future upgrades. Obviously not to do anything myself, just to understand better! Eventually it’d be nice to have solar…

Either way, I’m just adding in some extra info for fun – the job is scheduled for soon so hopefully the move will go smoothly! Thanks! Everyone was very helpful and even this comment taught me some terms to look into.

Absolutely. I plan on contacting the $2,102 priced electrician tomorrow and asking if once he finishes the job if he can at least look at the outlets and breaker box and let me know if there’s anything overly dangerous that we need to try to put aside money for next. Thank you!

I see. This helped me understand a bit!

Unfortunately it’s definitely not affordable for now to do new outlets in every room if it will double the price… Though I’d love to. Our current home also suffers from ungrounded outlets and well, honestly, most homes in towns like these do. It’ll definitely be a priority in the future but there’s so much we need done for now…

I’m glad I assumed right to not go with the $500 guy. It seemed so low for the cost the other 2 we’re giving me!

Really appreciate you explaining and your opinion!
