"I have been a customer with AHS since 2006 in 2 states. I recently assisted my daughter with a new home purchase. AHS contracts with One way Electrical in that area. We had some electrical concerns. Doug was our service technician. He was knowledgeable and professional. We had a challenge after our visit and he immediately offered a solution that worked immediately."

"Even though I did not hire them due to their higher cost, the person who came to do the consultation was well dressed, came in a company van and was very knowledgeable. If cost is not a consideration and you are looking for someone who provides white glove service, who will come and do the job in a very clean and professional way than give these guys a shot. We could not fit them into our small project budget of installing couple of ceiling fans hence we went with someone more reasonable. I gave 4 stars and that is because the Angi system did not match them up properly for my project. So that 1 star is taken away not because of the service provider but due to Angi platform not creating proper match for the project. FYI, I needed to replace 6 fans + install 1 new fan. Their cost of replacement or install was more than the cost of each fan hence it was not a good fit for my project."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Columbia, DIY electrical work may save money but risks code violations, failed inspections, and safety hazards. Licensed electricians ensure compliance with Columbia's building codes, reducing fire and shock risks. The City of Columbia Building Inspections and Permits Department requires permits for most projects, and improper DIY work can lead to costly corrections. Hiring a certified professional is typically safer and ensures your project meets local standards.

For electrical projects in Columbia, use weather-resistant PVC conduit for outdoor wiring, GFCI outlets in wet areas, and copper wiring to meet city code. Fire-rated electrical boxes are recommended for safety, and tamper-resistant receptacles are required in new installations. Always verify materials meet Columbia's building code standards and consult the City of Columbia Building Inspections and Permits Department for approved supply lists and compliance requirements.

Helpful?

In Columbia, most electrical projects require an electrical permit from the City of Columbia Building Inspections and Permits Department. Licensed contractors must provide project details, proof of licensure, and register all subcontractors. Homeowners performing work must also document scope and compliance. Permit fees depend on project valuation, and all work must pass inspections by city officials before approval, as required by the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.

Helpful?

After electrical work in Columbia, schedule annual inspections by a licensed electrician to check for code compliance and system integrity. Test GFCI and AFCI outlets monthly, and monitor for signs of wear or overheating. The City of Columbia Building Inspections and Permits Department recommends routine maintenance, especially after severe weather. Regular upkeep helps prevent hazards and ensures your electrical system remains safe and efficient.

Helpful?
