Upgrade Your Home’s Wiring for Safety, Efficiency & Code Compliance in Columbia, SC

Your home’s electrical wiring is the foundation of a safe and functional power system. However, outdated, faulty, or overloaded wiring can create serious fire hazards, power failures, and code violations. If your home is over 30 years old, you may have wiring that no longer meets modern safety standards.

At Sunrise Electric Co., we provide full and partial home rewiring services in Columbia and The Midlands. Whether you’re renovating an older home, experiencing electrical issues, or planning an addition, our licensed electricians will ensure your electrical system is safe, efficient, and up to code.

Sunrise was quick to quote the work and schedule it, when I couldn’t get other electricians to respond at all. They were professional and did a great job replacing our Federal Pacific service panel. Will call them again for the next electrical job.

We called Sunrise after having serious electrical issues with our home. John came out yesterday to inspect the entire house and went over everything he found, then presented us with our options. He was polite, professional, & very knowledgeable. James & Derrick came out first thing this morning to tackle the job and were absolutely wonderful! We now have power & can rest assured that our home is safe. We will only use Sunrise going forward & will definitely recommend to all. Thank you, Sunrise!

I had Derrick come out and do a general upgrade and surge protection for my house and he did a superb job. Company is extremely professional and timely. I really appreciated the general knowledge about common issues that arise and am much more secure knowing that I have the protections and upgrades in place to keep my home safe. I highly recommend them for any electrical issues or updates you need.
