For this Chesnee project, every circuit, device, and connection was installed to meet NEC 2020 standards. The work was permitted and inspected at rough-in and final to help ensure long-term safety and performance.

From conductor sizing and circuit protection to GFCI/AFCI placement, bonding, and grounding, our process follows current code and best practices so the home’s electrical system is ready for today’s usage and tomorrow’s growth.
