[QUOTE="Kenney, post: 1900940, member: 341525"] Please understand that due to "a possible electrical shock hazard" I can't suggest that you try to troubleshoot your electrical wiring. You will need an Electrican for that. For a better understanding I would suggest a web search on "How to Eliminate Static Electricity", and on " Understanding electrical Grounding and How it Works". Most of the "Home Offices" that a homeowner builds do their own wiring and may not know what they are doing when it comes to "sizing the circuit" and making correct connections. Like leaving out or not connecting the ground wire in outlets or only connecting 2 wires to an existing circuit. While these might work it can cause all types of problems. Not saying you did this but maybe a previous owner did. Also: Leave it to an ET to forget KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) :) I may have misunderstood you original problem, Did this just start? (winter months) if so then it is probably a humidity issue and can be fixed with anti static sprays and or a humidifier. This is a lot cheaper way to start. Also forgot about these, Lowes, Home Depo, or Ace, etc. should have them "grounding tester electrical". This will tell you if the outlet is properly grounded.
