Bathroom remodels are among the most popular home improvement projects in Aiken, but they require specialized electrical work to meet safety codes and support modern fixtures and features. Unity Power & Light provides comprehensive bathroom electrical remodeling services, from basic outlet upgrades to complete electrical systems for luxury bathroom renovations.

Bathrooms present unique electrical challenges due to moisture, water, and the combination of metal fixtures and plumbing. The National Electrical Code has strict requirements for bathroom electrical systems, and local inspectors in Aiken enforce these standards rigorously. Our licensed electricians ensure your bathroom remodel meets all code requirements while providing the functionality, safety, and convenience you need.

Our Bathroom Electrical Remodel Process

1

Initial Consultation & Planning

We meet with you early in your remodel planning to discuss electrical needs, review your bathroom layout, and identify all electrical requirements. We'll assess your electrical panel capacity and determine if upgrades are needed.

2

Detailed Estimate

We provide a comprehensive written estimate covering all electrical work including materials, labor, permits, and inspections. We explain what's included and why each component is necessary.

3

Permit Application

We handle all permit applications with Aiken County or the City of Aiken, ensuring your bathroom electrical work is properly documented and inspected.

4

Demolition & Prep

If needed, we disconnect and remove old electrical wiring and devices during the demolition phase, coordinating with your general contractor or remodeler.

5

Electrical Rough-In

With walls open, we install all new circuits, run wiring to outlets, switches, and fixture locations, install electrical boxes, and prepare for rough-in inspection. We coordinate with plumbing and HVAC contractors to avoid conflicts.

6

Rough-In Inspection

We coordinate the rough-in inspection with local authorities, ensuring all rough-in work meets code before walls are closed up. We address any inspector notes immediately.

7

Finish Installation

After drywall, tile, and painting are complete, we return to install all outlets, switches, light fixtures, exhaust fans, and electrical devices. We ensure everything is properly connected and functional.

8

Final Inspection & Testing

We coordinate the final electrical inspection, test all GFCIs, verify all circuits operate correctly, and ensure your bathroom electrical system is safe and code-compliant. We provide documentation of the completed work.
