  • The National Electrical Code (NEC) is an outline of standards for safe electrical practices throughout the country. It is reviewed and revised every three years by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to reflect advances in safety, technology, and building practices. South Carolina has adopted these updates into their local building regulations.

    This code covers all aspects of electrical installations, such as wiring configurations, breaker panel specifications, outlet placement, and more. Adhering to these standards helps protect people and property, while also supporting energy efficiency and smooth system performance.

  • Many homeowners are unsure whether their electrical systems meet the most recent requirements. The best way to determine compliance is through a professional assessment. Over time, components like outlets, wiring, or circuit panels may become outdated or fail to meet new safety regulations.

    Common signs that your home may not meet current electrical code requirements include the absence of GFCI protection near water sources, outdated fuse boxes instead of breaker panels, or two-prong outlets instead of grounded three-prong ones. Homes built more than 20 years ago are especially likely to have outdated features that need attention.

    Mr. Electric of Columbia offers inspections that help you understand where your system stands regarding the latest code changes. If updates are needed, we will walk you through your options and provide a plan that suits your home’s specific needs.
