It's what's behind the wall socket that counts. Currents codes are pretty good but 40 years ago they used aluminum wire in low cost homes...till they learned it caused house fires!
My house is 50 years old, well made with good wiring except the builder had no idea on how to lay out circuits, he put too many outlets on the same circuit along with some lighting. I have some wall plugs that well dim a overhead light when the vacuum starts!!!! I had to 64 bitie upgrade
put in a second 200 amp service in for hvac and hot tub, tapped into that for the shop and greenhouse.
