Electrical Code Updates in Columbia – What You Should Know

Electric Updates for Every Part of Your Home
Homes in Columbia vary in age, layout, and electrical needs, so a one-size-fits-all fix won’t work. That’s why we customize every electrical code update in Columbia to your home, targeting common problems like missing GFCIs, outdated circuits, and insufficient arc-fault protection—often found in kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms. If you’re renovating or getting ready to sell, it’s a great time to schedule an inspection and bring everything up to code.
Here’s a snapshot of updates we often recommend:
- Adding arc fault breakers in bedrooms and common areas
- Ensuring smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are properly wired
- Updating panels with surge protection or modern breaker types
- Correcting improperly spliced wires or unprotected connections
- Replacing outdated switches and fixtures that no longer meet standards
Our electricians respect your space and your time, and we always aim to complete the job efficiently and neatly. If you're ready to get started, contact us with questions or schedule your appointment today for fast, reliable service.
