GFCI's

[ryanpickett2003]

Good Morning, I went to a home yesterday where a home inspection had been completed. In the inspection he noted most of the outlets didn't have a ground at them. Once I inspected it. 80% of the home is still wired with romex without a ground. What's the best way to make this safe without installing new wires. I was told GFCI outlets needed to be used at each outlet, but have been unable to pin point that in the code. Thanks for the help.

Look at 404.6(D) for receptacle replacements. There are few ways to do this.

If I understand right, using 406.3.D.3C I can install a GFCI breaker or outlet at the start of the circuit and as long as I properly mark the outlets that will work?

That is correct. You can even install 3 wire receptacles as long as they are marked with the stickers in the gfci box- no equipment groung
