If you own a business, you should already know that at some point, you will need to hire an electrician in Marshville to fix electrical issues and maintain your property's wiring systems. Unfortunately, many people forego certified, experienced electricians to save money. The reality is, trying to fix an electrical issue in your business is no small task and often costs more money than hiring a professional. Working with electricity can be dangerous to your property and, more importantly, your health.
It might seem like a good idea to try a DIY approach or call your "do it all" local handyman, but going pro will save you time and money when it comes to serious projects like thermal imaging and three-phase panel installations. Think about it: why spend money buying expensive supplies and countless hours watching electrical repair videos when there's a good chance you'll need professional help in the end? Many DIY electricians have good intentions but often end up damaging electrical systems worse than before.
At Engineered Electrical Solutions, we get the job done right the first time, so you can focus on enjoying running your business while we fix your electrical problem. We bring the same level of quality and reliability to every job we perform, whether it's a routine safety inspection or an entire commercial rewiring project. Unlike some electricians in South Carolina, we go above and beyond to ensure our customers are safe and satisfied with our work. We pride ourselves on keeping customers informed throughout their electrical job and follow up on our projects to make sure our fixes stick.
At the end of the day, excellent customer care is what we strive to achieve. We do so by providing the highest quality commercial services at affordable prices, all year long. Here are just a few reasons why Lowcountry residents trust Engineered Electrical Solutions:
If you're looking for the very best electrician in South Carolina, put down the pen and paper and look no further than Engineered Electrical Solutions. Keep reading to learn more about some of our most popular services.

For years, Engineered Electrical Solutions has provided business owners with the most effective electrical repair and installation services in the Lowcountry. Our team is adept at assisting businesses of all sizes, from small "mom and pop" shops to industrial plants and everything in between.
We offer a wide range of electrical services, from electrical panel installation and business rewiring to transformer installation and thermal imaging. Modern businesses count on energy-efficient electricity to help run their day-to-day operations. If you need your electrical systems to run smoothly so you can stay focused on building your business, count on Engineered Electrical Solutions to be there when you need us the most.
A few of our most popular commercial and industrial electrical services include but are not limited to:
As a business owner, you know first-hand that closing your doors costs money, time, and possibly your clients. That's why, when you have an electrical issue that must be remedied, you need quick, cost-efficient help so you can keep running your business. But trusting the job of a trained electrician in the hands of an amateur can be a big mistake.
Sure, your uncle may know how to flip a few switches on the breaker in your home, but serving a commercial business is an entirely different animal. In fact, trusting your company's electrical needs to just anyone can end up costing you more in the long run. Here are just a few of the most important reasons to consider hiring an experienced commercial electrical contractor.
Did you know there is a litany of regulations and codes you must follow when servicing electrical components in a commercial setting? From remodels to maintenance, a knowledgeable electrician will know these codes in and out. If they don't, they've got the reference material and support to ensure their work is up to standard. Taking the time to hire a commercial electrical company with vetted technicians means you don't have to worry about legal fines and reprimands for not adhering to regulations associated with common services like commercial lighting installations and upgrades.
In general, a commercial electrical contractor in Marshville, SC, must undergo extensive training and pass more tests in order to practice their trade in South Carolina. Like their counterparts in the residential electrical business, they must both pass exams and complete apprenticeships. But commercial electricians have more in-depth training. They must also prove their knowledge of the National Electrical Code, or NEC, which encompasses safety procedures and building codes in the U.S. The advanced training that commercial electricians complete sets the foundation for services such as:
When you break it down to the basics, commercial electricians in the Lowcountry require more experience because of factors like safety, complexity, and reliability. It's not unusual for a contractor to complete over 4,000 hours of on-the-job experience, to learn about complicated topics like voltage and phase balancing, control systems, and phase diagrams.
If you're like most people, you hire professionals like corporate lawyers, helicopter pilots, and commercial electricians to handle the things you don't have the skills to do yourself. Because, if we're being honest, many services provided by commercial electrical contractors are dangerous and even downright deadly. While you can find "How-To" articles that insist that this type of work is simple, taking on an electrical project for your business can have catastrophic consequences - both for your business and for the family you're supporting.
Hiring a commercial electrician for your business safeguards you, your employees, and your business. That's because they're trained to spot commercial electrical hazards and have the tools to fix the problem correctly and according to South Carolina regulations.
Some business owners make it a point to hire non-professionals to handle their electrical work, thinking they'll save money in the long run. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Cutting corners and hiring unlicensed friends or family members creates hazards that will set your company back much more than it would to hire a qualified commercial electrician. Mistakes are costly and often end up with you having to close your business while they're corrected. This downtime will affect your ability to do business and may even affect your brand loyalty and customer base.
Energy mismanagement - it's one of the most common ways that businesses lose unnecessary money every year. Though every business in South Carolina will eventually face some sort of energy waste, that doesn't mean you have to settle for expenses you can prevent. At Engineered Electrical Solutions, we're all about supporting our fellow business owners. To help you reduce electrical costs, follow these five tips.
In terms of low-cost solutions, this one is among the best. If you've been using incandescent bulbs throughout your business, try installing compact fluorescents instead. They can last 9x longer and save you money over time. While you're at it, remove any incandescent lights powering exit signs in your building. Replace them with LED alternatives.
Did you grow up in a household where your mom or dad constantly reminded you to turn off the lights when you're done in a room? That same basic principle holds true here. If lights are left on unnecessarily, be sure they're turned off before closing for the day. If you find that doesn't help, you may need to develop a shift-based system to turn off lights. Our team of commercial electricians for your business in cityname, state, have the expertise to help you establish a system to lower energy waste without affecting your company's productivity.
According to the Small Business Administration, HVAC use accounts for nearly 40% of energy use in commercial buildings. It's clear, then, that poor-performing HVAC systems can rack up monthly energy costs quickly. To prevent this from getting out of control, make sure your AC and heating units are well-maintained and free of expensive issues. You may want to also consider installing programmable thermostats, which can automatically control the temperature settings on your property to help maximize your energy savings.
The EPA states that keeping your commercial building properly insulated can save you as much as 10% on your energy bill. Don't settle for obvious areas like walls and windows. Be sure your electrical outlets, pipes, and HVAC ducts are properly insulated too.
At Engineered Electrical Solutions, we can provide you with an energy audit for your business that pinpoints areas of energy waste and how those areas can be improved. Having an electrical assessment is a great idea for any business owner, especially if you have a storefront where customers come and go because it can help lower your overall operational costs.
Commercial and industrial-sized buildings are large and complex by the nature of their construction. By proxy, commercial buildings have complicated wiring and electrical systems. Electrical work in the commercial market is best left to experienced, licensed professionals. If you're looking for the very best commercial electricians in Metro Marshville, Engineered Electrical Solutions is here to serve you.
We have completed hundreds of commercial electrician projects for companies like Blue Oyster Restaurant, Shell Gas Stations, Flex Warehouses, Dentist Offices, and many more. With the most up-to-date equipment and years of professional experience, our team is ready to tackle your electrical problem, no matter how large.
Here are just a few of the common electrical issues that we solve for Lowcountry business owners:
Your businesses' electrical system will trip when it has too much electricity running through it. These problems are very common in commercial properties and usually stem from one of three culprits: circuit overloads, short circuits, and ground fault surges. Obviously, when your circuits are tripped regularly, your business operations suffer. To help solve your circuit breaker problems, our commercial electricians will come to your location for in-depth troubleshooting. Once we discover the root cause, we'll get to work on repairing your circuit breaker, so you can continue working and serving your customers.
Like tripped circuit breakers, dimming or flickering lights are among the most common commercial electrical problems in South Carolina. These issues typically stem from poor electrical connections. These poor connections will usually cause sparks, which can start fires and wreak havoc on your commercial building. While dimming lights might seem minor, if you leave this problem to fester, you could be looking at permanent damage to your businesses' electrical systems. Given the danger involved in fixing this problem, it's important that you work with a licensed business electrician like Engineered Electrical Solutions as soon as you're able to.
Dead power outlets aren't always dangerous, unlike other recurring commercial electrical issues. They are, however, disruptive to your company's productivity. Dead outlets are common in older commercial buildings and are often caused by circuit overloads. Connecting multiple high-wattage devices and appliances to the same power socket can cause overheating. When the power outlet overheats, it can lead to tripped circuit breakers. In some cases, the live wire catches fire and burns until it is disconnected. For a reliable solution using high-quality switches, sockets, and circuit breakers, it's best to hire a professional business electrician to get the job done right.
Finding a real-deal, qualified commercial electrician in South Carolina is harder than you might think. Whether it's due to availability or budget, you might be tempted to hire a residential electrician for your commercial electrical problem. While it's true that great residential electricians can help solve commercial issues in theory, it's always best to hire a business electrician with professional experience.
Unlike their residential colleagues, commercial electricians are licensed to deal with different materials and procedures suited specifically for businesses. Commercial wiring is much more complex than other wiring and is strategically installed with maintenance, repair, and changes in mind. Additionally, commercial properties usually use a three-phase power supply, necessitating more schooling, skills, and technical ability to service.
The bottom line? If you're a business owner with commercial electricity problems, it's best to work with a licensed commercial electrician, like you will find at Engineered Electrical Solutions.
Engineered Electrical Solutions has built its reputation on a simple formula: give our customers the highest-quality commercial electrical services, the most helpful customer service, and the best prices available in town.
As a veteran-owned and operated business, we take pride in good old-fashioned hard work and dedication to our craft. No upselling. No misleading fine print. Only quality electrical work and reliable commercial electricians in Marshville, SC.
We want to be sure every one of our customers is satisfied, which is why we offer a three-year guaranteed on our labor. If you're in need of a commercial electrician for your business or organization, give our office a call and discover the Engineered Electrical Solutions difference.

Ailing country music legend Randy Travis managed to say only four words on stage Saturday in his hometown of Marshville. But it was clear the Union County native was happy to be among family and friends, staying for nearly 2 1/2 hours to pose for photos and listen to fans talk about his music.
The occasion was a small town ceremony to unveil signs that will alert highway motorists to the fact that they are passing through the “Home of Randy Travis.”
Travis attended in a wheelchair and didn’t try to stand, due to a 2013 stroke that left him partially paralyzed and with limited ability to speak.
“Thank you very much,” he told the crowd gathered on the town’s Main Street.
The response was “roaring excitement at the very sight of him,” said Kay Strawn, of the town’s Chamber of Commerce.
“It was emotional for all of us, because he came so close to death with his stroke, and this moment almost passed us by,” said Strawn, who attended the same church as Travis growing up. “We got to say just how much we appreciated him. And we could see from that wide grin that it was just as emotional for him. I bet he hasn’t smiled that much in the three years (since his stroke).”
Strawn added that Travis was gracious with fans Saturday. “Anybody what wanted a picture with him was allowed to do so,” she said.
Travis was also presented with keys to the city by Marshville Mayor Franklin Deese. Marshville is a town of 2,040 people, about 35 miles east of Charlotte. “Charlotte may have the Panthers. South Carolina may have Clemson, but Marshville has and always will have the greatest country singer of all time,” said Deese in his presentation.
Travis’ wife, Mary Travis, seemed to fight back tears at times as she spoke on his behalf during the ceremony.
“Thank you so much for your kind words and your open arms. There’s not many places you can go back to after 58 years and have that same kind of warm feeling. … I’ll tell you, he’s an awful special man from a very special place. Thank you for honoring him today and allowing him to be the son of Marshville.”
Fans gushed.
“He’s become so humble. … It’s heartwarming to see him recognized for his gift,” Marshville resident Amy Nance told radio station WYRK after the ceremony.
The highway signs will be erected at the east and west entrances of the Union County town next week, along U.S. 74, officials said. Marshville had signs dedicated to Travis up for years, but they were removed in 2014.
Mayor Deese said the old sign bearing Travis’ name was taken down because it was in disrepair, but he said that didn’t stop concerned fans from calling about it. “I didn’t know so many people from all over the country could find my phone number. They wanted to know: Why did you take the sign down that this was the home of Randy Travis?”
Travis, who now lives in Texas, got his start playing nightclubs in Charlotte. He moved to Nashville and became an instant hit in 1986 with the release of the album “Storms of Life.” In the years that followed, he sold more than 25 million records and earned 20-plus No. 1 hits. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame last year and stood to sing a shaky version of “Amazing Grace.”

At a time when people seemingly can’t be without a smartphone in their hand for a minute, virtual meetings devour workers’ time and social media consumes much of our lives, Margaret Robertson and her fellow members of Marshville Heritage Society are bringing a sense of peace and tranquility and a look back at simpler times to Wainfleet.
The all-volunteer organization is again hosting the popular Marshville Heritage Festival in the picturesque hamlet it’s named after a skip and a jump away from Wainfleet township hall over the Labour Day weekend.
It’s the 33rd year the festival has been held in the past 35 years, after a two-year hiatus in 2020 and 2021 due to pandemic restrictions.
People strolling around the hamlet with its 22 heritage buildings can smell fresh sawdust while watching the steam-driven sawmill in action, or they can see just what it was like going to school in a 19th century, one-room schoolhouse bereft of electricity let alone computers.
“We have a blacksmith shop and people are really interested in that,” said Roberston, co-chair of the society.
“We have a rope maker who lets the kids participate in making rope, we have people carving wildlife, we have a canoe builder and we are actually raffling off a canoe they made.”
The Dean Sawmill is still run by Art and Bob Dean, whose homestead the mill was moved to the hamlet from, said Robertson.
Some of the other heritage buildings were also relocated there, preserving them for future generations to enjoy. For instance, the schoolhouse was painstakingly moved there from Highway 3, while a log cabin from Welland was disassembled and brought back to life in the hamlet.
“They took it down bit by bit, numbered the logs and put it back up here in the village,” said Robertson.
She said in today’s fast-paced world, the heritage festival hearkens back to a simpler time.
“People are really interested in how things were done years ago,” said Robertson. “We even have a baling and threshing demonstration.”
She said the festival often draws upwards of 15,000 people and vendors from across Niagara and as far as Hamilton and even Northern Ontario.
Proceeds from the admission fee — the festival is the society’s sole fundraiser — go right back into helping to maintain the heritage buildings that volunteers spend “countless” hours each year caring for, said Robertson.
The volunteers aren’t getting any younger, she said, with one member now 91 still donating his time to fix up buildings.
A new addition this year is a children’s train, dubbed the Marshville Express, that will take kids around the hamlet for $3. The track is named the Egger Railway Line in honour of Egger Truck and Machine, which spearheaded the project.
“It has an engine and a caboose; it’s real true to life,” said Roberston. “Hopefully, it’s something that will take hold and the kids will enjoy.”
The festival runs Saturday, Sept. 2, to Monday, Sept. 4, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Admission is $8 (cash) for adults with $7 seniors admission on the Saturday. Children under age 10 are admitted free.
There is free parking at the nearby ball diamond with people movers to and from the hamlet.
There will be live entertainment throughout the weekend, as well as car shows each day: 1954 and older cars on the Saturday, classic cars from 1954 to 1987 on the Sunday, and British cars and vintage motorcycles on the Monday.
Robertson said the society is still looking for volunteers to help out with tasks such as working the gates and helping with tours of the buildings.
