Whole-Home Rewiring for a 2,500 Sq Ft Residence in Blythewood, SC

Touchstone Electric completed a comprehensive whole-home rewiring for a 2,500 sq ft residence in Blythewood, SC. Managed by our Columbia branch, this project modernized the electrical infrastructure from panel to devices to support current code, future-ready capacity, and safe day-to-day operation.

Customer: Palmetto Renovations of Columbia, Inc. | Date Completed: May 25, 2026 | Branch: Columbia

Project Scope and Process

Our licensed team followed a clear, safety-first sequence to deliver a clean and code-compliant result with minimal disruption to the structure.

Power safely disconnected: We shut down power to the building and verified circuits were de-energized prior to any work.
Device removal: Existing outlets, switches, and device terminations were carefully disconnected and labeled for proper reinstallation.
Old wiring extraction: Outdated conductors were removed from the panel and affected branch circuits.
New wiring installation: We fished new wiring through walls and ceilings to reduce demolition and protect finished surfaces.
Device reconnection: All outlets, switches, and devices were reconnected and neatly terminated to manufacturer specs and code.
Power restoration and testing: Service was restored and each circuit was tested and documented.
Final inspection: Work included the cost of permit and inspections for an approved, code-compliant finish.

Permitting and inspections were included as part of the service. If final building plans or appliance selections require additional dedicated circuits, change orders may be recommended to ensure performance and compliance.

Care for Your Home

To preserve finishes, our electricians fish lines wherever possible. When access is required, minimal drywall cuts are made. We reinstall the cut pieces, and light spackle and paint are typically needed after completion to restore a perfect finish.

For comfort and safety, the customer should not be present during the entirety of a whole-home rewiring. This allows our team to work efficiently while keeping occupants away from de-energized panels, open boxes, tools, and ladders.

Thorough Testing and Inspection

After reconnection, our team performed a complete test of devices, outlets, and switches. We verified correct polarity, grounding, breaker sizing, and arc-fault/ground-fault protection where required. The project proceeded through inspection to confirm local code adherence in Blythewood and Richland County jurisdictional requirements via our Columbia branch.
