U-GUARD to UNGROUNDED OUTLETS

U-Guard - A plastic shield that protects electric wires on the side of utility poles or a house. Recognizable by its gray color.

Underground Service - The incoming electrical supply for the home is buried underground.

Underlayment - Asphalt saturated felt used beneath roofing to provide additional protection for the deck.

Ungrounded Outlets - Older style outlet that only accepts two-pronged plugs. These outlets do not have a ground wire. While they are acceptable in homes with older type wiring, they are not as safe as grounded outlets. Can be made safer by adding a GFI.
