Don't replace a two-slot receptacle
from Tips 04/20/2002

Don't replace a two-slot receptacle with a three-slot model unless you know the wiring system is grounded. Three-slot types in an ungrounded system don't provide adequate grounding protection and can mislead future occupants and electricians performing repairs. If you are not sure whether your system is grounded, check with an electrician.
