  • Electrical codes evolve over time to reflect new safety standards, updated technology, and the current wiring practices in homes. These rules cover things like outlet placement, grounding, and where GFCI protection is needed. If your system is out of date, small problems can turn into bigger hazards later on.

    At Mr. Electric of Columbia, we adhere to the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building codes in Columbia, TN. For every electrical code update in Columbia that we perform, we inspect wiring, panels, outlets, and safety devices to ensure compliance. Our local experts then recommend necessary corrections to enhance compliance while helping mitigate risk.

    Some of the most common updates we perform include:

    • Installing GFCIs in kitchens, baths, and laundry areas
    • Labeling circuit panels and balancing loads
    • Fixing grounding issues
    • Replacing damaged or outdated wiring
    • Correcting violations from older repairs

    You don’t have to wait for a major renovation or inspection to start. Getting these updates done now helps protect your home and keeps things running smoothly.
