I see we have some electrical experts around here.
I got a 150 year old house with some real old wiring in it. It appears the house went through some renovations in the 1920's and 1950's so I have a mixture of wiring around here. Problem is that the only grounded wires I have are in the kitchen which was renovated about 3 years ago and the wiring to the HVAC. The box is new also and rated at 150 amps. I doubt if I'll be able to replace all the wiring but would like to get a lot of it done. Is there an easier way to ground these circuits without running new wires all the way back to the box or am I out of luck. I was thinking of trying to collect the grounds and run them to a cold water line and ground them there instead of trying to run new wire down three stories to the basement. Note: No inspection is needed. I won't say a word if you don't.
