If you want to test the individual outlets in your house, you can buy an outlet tester from Amazon for $5.99. You just plug it into an outlet and the lights will tell you if there is a problem with the ground wire, hot wire, or neutral wire. There is also a separate button to test a GFCI outlet. If you are buying a new house, it is a good idea to test all of the outlets.
