If you own a home or a business, you should already know that at some point, you will need to hire an electrician in cityname 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 home or 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 life 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 a whole home electrical installation.

Any homeowner with a little confidence can open their YouTube app and search for DIY fixes for residential electrical problems. To be fair, many minor fixes in the home don't require a pro. With that said, electrical work is not something you should tackle on your own. Trying to perform an electrical repair on your own can be counterproductive at best and fatal at worst. In fact, around 400 people are electrocuted at home every year, and almost half of those result in deaths.
Why put yourself and your family at risk when Engineered Electrical Solutions can get the job done safely and effectively for you?
Our expert electricians only work with the best materials available and provide a three-year guarantee on all labor - no questions asked. We never
compromise quality for time and always give our clients realistic schedules to accommodate their busy lives.

electrician to help.Some of our most common residential electrical services include:

At Engineered Electrical Solutions, our highly-trained, licensed technicians have years of experience diagnosing and remediating residential electrical problems across South Carolina.

Installing a new electrical panel or upgrading your current one can be a great way to protect your home from electrical issues. It controls the entire electrical system of your home and, when properly installed and maintained, can last for years without problems. Replacing or updating your electrical panel can prevent short-circuiting and overloaded circuits and offer features like arc fault protection.
If your electrical panel seems to be malfunctioning, don't try to troubleshoot the mishap by yourself. At Engineered Electrical Solutions, our team will come to your home to inspect your electrical panel's wiring, so you don' have to. Once we diagnose the problem, we'll offer suggestions based on your needs and budget.
An electrical safety inspection is essentially a thorough examination of your home's electrical system. Using National Electric Code guidelines, our residential safety inspectors will examine your home's electrical systems, wiring, and components (like appliances) to ensure they meet safety standards. Once we're done, your electrical inspector will give you a thorough checklist to look over, including electrical problems that need attention ASAP. We will also suggest areas of improvement and possible areas where upgrades are needed. In our experience, homeowners need electrical safety inspections when they:
High-tech appliances, kitchen gadgets, and computers are all vulnerable to power surges caused by lightning storms. When too much electricity runs through your home's connecting wires, it can fry the circuits in your most expensive electronics. Since many professionals in today's society work from home, losing critical documents and files can be catastrophic.
That's why it's a good idea to consider whole-home surge protection. Surge protection for your home suppresses fluctuating power by diverting excess electricity to a ground wire. If you're interested in learning more about surge protection for your home, call our office today to learn more about the options we can install for you.
Having a reliable electrician on hand that you can trust with electrical repairs is of utmost importance when you own a business in South Carolina. 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:
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 Chesterfield, 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.
A few of our most popular commercial and industrial electrical services include but are not limited to:
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 residential, 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.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCSC) - A post-holiday rise in COVID-19 cases has state health officials hoping you didn’t throw your face masks away.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Community Levels Map currently shows 21 counties in red, meaning high levels of COVID-19; and another 23 in yellow, an indication of a medium level of COVID-19 cases. That leaves only two of the state’s 46 counties, Aiken and Barnwell Counties, in green with low levels.
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control continues to track levels of COVID-19 by using the CDC’s map.
After the holidays, COVID-19 cases have been on the rise. During the week of Oct. 29, DHEC reported 3,459 cases, compared to the most recent week ending on Dec. 31, which listed 10,481 cases.
With a 25% positivity increase rate in the last week, Dr. Jonathan Knoche, one of DHEC’s Medical Consultants, says everyone needs to make wise, more informed decisions about what’s going on around them.
“I understand people are tired of hearing about COVID-19 and vaccines; it gets to be a little bit exhausting, I get that. But we also have to be wise about what’s going on in our community,” Knoche says. “When we see numbers coming up, small things that we can do to protect ourselves go a long way. I think wearing this mask is just one of those things right now.”
The Medical University of South Carolina’s Dr. Michael Sweat, says MUSC hospitals in Charleston have seen 4% of all hospital beds in the area occupied by people with COVID-19 in the past week. He says that waves of the virus tend to go up before going down again.
“I think we don’t and we’re not going to go back to sort of the mindset of a lockdown, but what is strategic is to turn it on and off when numbers get high, and the numbers are high,” Sweat says. “It’s time to maybe turn on your precautions for a while, it won’t last forever.”
To prevent the virus from spreading, he adds the most immediate things such as avoiding crowded indoor places and creating ventilation inside indoor spaces can help, but vaccinations are the most effective.
Over 70% of the population in South Carolina has at least received their first dose of the vaccine, but the newest variant, XBB 1.5, spreads more easily, resulting in more people getting infected.
For counties displayed in red on the CDC map with high levels of infection, DHEC recommends masking for everyone in indoor settings, including schools and workplaces. For those in yellow, with medium levels of infection, DHEC says people who are at higher risk or those who are around immunocompromised individuals are encouraged to mask up, while it is optional for others.
The red counties are Cherokee, Chester, Chesterfield, Colleton, Dorchester, Fairfield, Georgetown, Greenville, Horry, Kershaw, Laurens, Lee, Lexington, Marlboro, Newberry, Pickens, Richland, Spartanburg, Sumter, Union, and Williamsburg.
The yellow counties are Abbeville, Allendale, Anderson, Bamberg, Beaufort, Berkeley, Calhoun, Charleston, Clarendon, Darlington, Dillon, Edgefield, Florence, Greenwood, Hampton, Jasper, Lancaster, Marion, McCormick, Oconee, Orangeburg, Saluda, and York.
For Aiken and Barnwell Counties, shown in green, masking is not needed in most settings but remains optional, DHEC says.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD) have received the City of Aiken’s application for Federal grant funding through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).
As part of the application process and in accordance with Executive Order 11988 and 44 CFR §9.12, final public notice is hereby given for the City of Aiken’s proposed project which contains actions in or affecting the floodplain and/or wetlands. The project will conform to applicable state and local floodplain protection standards
Funding for the proposed project will be conditional upon compliance with all applicable federal, tribal, state and local laws, regulations, floodplain standards, permit requirements and conditions.
Applicant: City of Aiken
Project Title: Intake Retrofit for Shaws Creek Water Treatment Plant
Location of Proposed Work:
The proposed work will be at the Shaws Creek Water Treatment Plant located at 1758 Columbia Highway N., Aiken, SC 29801.
Planning Factors and Considerations:
Several significant factors were considered as part of this project, including, but not limited to: • Consistency with local goals and initiatives to reduce impacts from natural hazards; • The economic impact to the community; • Legal constraints that may impact project execution.
Proposed Work and Purpose:
The proposed project includes the following activity:
1. Rehabilitate the low head dam to improve water retention upstream of the dam and to increase the reliability of the intake infrastructure.
2. Chemical Feed: Install a potassium permanganate feed system for pre-oxidation.
3. Raw Water Pump Station: Provide four (4) raw water vertical turbine pumps with adequate turndown to meet historic average daily flows.
The purpose of this project is to utilize existing infrastructure to the greatest extent possible through upgrades and modification to extent existing structures useful life. Through the upgrades to the low head dam will provide a stable and reliable structure for holding water for the water treatment plant’s intake. Modifications to the intake pumps station will increase redundancy and capacity of the station and allow for the withdrawn water to be treated at the proposed treatment plant.
The existing infrastructure, proposed upgrades, and modifications are located within the floodplain of Shaw’s Creek. Whenever feasible new equipment will be raised above the 100-floodplain elevation to reduce and mitigate impacts. If wetland impacts are required, they will be temporary and reestablished to the pre-construction elevations/contours.
Project Alternatives:
The only alternates are to locate, permit, and sample for a new intake location; or utilize ground water only. The first is not feasible with the current condition of the existing water plant due to the time required for permitting and sampling. The second alternative is not preferred as the system would be dependent on a single water source as all existing ground well currently pull from the same aquifer.
Comment Period:
Comments are due by close of business on February 6, 2023
Comments are solicited from the public; local, state or federal agencies; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of the proposed project. The comments can be made in writing and addressed to Mike Przybylowicz, Engineering and Utilities Director, PO Box 1177, Aiken, SC 29802 or online.
Maps:
A map of the project areas is available here.

An Amtrak train traveling from the D.C. area to Florida was stuck for hours in rural South Carolina with limited food supplies after its route was changed because of the derailment of a CSX freight train.
The 17-hour trip turned into a 37-hour nightmare for passengers on the Auto Train 53.
The train left Lorton, Va., about 5:30 p.m. Monday and was to arrive in Sanford, Fla., about 10 a.m. Tuesday. More than 30 hours later, hundreds of passengers had not reached their final destination after the train came to a halt in a wooded area near Denmark, S.C.
As of late Tuesday night, Amtrak said the train was on the move again. It arrived at Sanford at 6 a.m. Wednesday, Amtrak said, after a 20-hour delay.
Amtrak spokeswoman Christina Leeds said in an email that the Auto Train — a specialized train on which passengers take their cars with them — had been “impacted by significant delays due to a CSX freight derailment in South Carolina” and was detoured off its normal route so it could continue moving south.

The incident is the latest extreme delay on the train service. In October, an Amtrak trip from Detroit to Chicago that was supposed to take about five hours took 19 hours, leaving passengers stuck without electricity, water or food. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 1 in 5 Amtrak trains were late in 2021.
Leeds wrote that during Tuesday’s delay, Amtrak had been “providing regular updates to customers, along with meals, snack packs and beverages.” She added that onboard employees were working with pet owners to provide bathroom breaks for animals.
She said the carrier will provide refunds to passengers affected by the delay.
In a statement, CSX said the freight train derailment that caused the delay happened when the train came in contact with an unoccupied vehicle on the tracks in Lake City, S.C., with 25 rail cars and two locomotives affected. The cause is under investigation.

“There were no injuries to the crew of the train and no hazardous materials involved,” the company said.
The Amtrak train was held up Tuesday afternoon waiting for a new crew to arrive because the original crew had reached the maximum allowable operating time, Amtrak said. The situation was complicated by the fact that only crews with specialized training can operate the Auto Train.
Several other passenger trains were affected by the CSX derailment. Amtrak rerouted four trains that departed Monday connecting the Northeast and Florida, and it cut short the route on two trips scheduled between New York and Savannah, Ga., terminating or departing in D.C. instead of Savannah. The carrier also canceled its two auto trains scheduled to depart Tuesday — one from Lorton and the other from Sanford.
The changes created major disruption to hundreds of train travelers on the busy Interstate 95 corridor. Auto Train 53, which travels overnight with only a scheduled stop for fuel, was carrying 563 passengers.

Some passengers turned to social media Tuesday to plead for help. A Twitter user from Potomac, Md., tweeted at Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday evening, describing 25 hours already on the train and no movement for more than three hours while waiting for a new crew to arrive.
“I understand unforeseen circumstances occur, but this has been handled so poorly,” the person tweeted, adding that the situation “could become potentially dangerous as many passengers are elderly and the train is running out of food.”
Dale Kalkofen of Chesterfield, Va., said she didn’t know the exact whereabouts of the train after hours of waiting in South Carolina on Tuesday afternoon. “LATE, LATE, LATE,” she wrote on her Facebook page.
On Wednesday, after arriving in the Orlando metro area, she said she was “really tired” and felt as if she had “jet lag.” Kalkofen said it was probably a good thing the delay extended until sunrise so passengers did not have to disembark and drive in the middle of the night into the dark countryside.

Although some passengers were irritated, she recalled, “people were patient, cooperative and cheerful — all while growing increasingly exhausted and concerned for safety and welfare.”
Amtrak’s Auto Train debuted in 1983. The concept of taking your automobile on vacation without having to drive it was so popular that the company received more than 400 requests for reservations before it had even decided to start the service. In 2021, the service provided close to 200,000 passenger trips. The service is marketed today as “a stress-free journey by rail, skipping the traffic congestion on I-95.”

Has AMTRAK heard of a disaster recovery plan? Does it have one for circumstances such as when a train derails or is delayed for a considerable length of time? If it did, when such a "disaster" would occur, AMTRAK wouldn't have to figure out the solution from scratch, but would already have a course of action to initiate without losing further time. Examples of such plans:
AMTRAK should have multiple plans for each such category above, depending on the length of the delay, time of day, and location of the train. Problems are compounded further when they occur on an auto train or overnight train. While such disasters are always unfortunate, having such a plan in place can help mitigate such a situation.
We've ridden the Auto Train many times. My husband is a train nut and I appreciate having our own car in FL without having to drive the 1700 round trip miles that the train saves us. Plus we save 2 nights of hotel expenses. My husband hopes that somebody took pictures of the Auto Train going through strange towns not on its regular route. It's 3/4 of a mile long with all the auto carriers. Quite a sight for the locals who may not be getting any passenger service anymore. Kalmbach Publishing Company's Trains magazine should cover this story for its railfan readers.
It's approx. a 12 hour drive between Lorton and Sanford. A long drive, but certainly doable for many people in a single day if you get an early start and change drivers every 2-3 hours.
And you aren't saving 2 nights of hotel expenses if you are booking a room on the Autotrain, and those aren't cheap. You are paying for a relatively expensive, noisy and uncomfortable tiny hotel room.
Google Maps indicates it is about 12 hours but that is for an unfueled robot car without a slow downs along I-95, which is kind of a joke itself. Realistically it is about a 15 hour trip to allow for restrooms, gas and food on the go. Factor in that most passengers don't live in Lorton, VA or Sanford, FL, so add-in another two hours each way, for 19 hours, for discussion sake.
Not everyone travels with other drivers. There are a surprising number of single passengers. If you are older then it makes sense to spend two nights on the road for the trip. I typically make it a "vacation trip" south spending 3 or 4 nights on the road, but return in one night solo northbound. The sleeper car is a big plus after several years of riding coach.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, S.C. — The driver of a Chesterfield County school bus has now been cited by the South Carolina Highway Patrol after the bus overturned Friday afternoon.
According to SCHP, the driver of the bus was driving too fast for conditions along a dirt road, leading to the bus turning onto its side. Officials with the Chesterfield County School District said 24 students were on the bus at the time, and eight were sent to the hospital. All eight students were eventually released and back at home.
School district officials later confirmed that students from New Heights Middle School and Jefferson Elementary School were on the bus at the time of the accident. The bus overturned along McCaskill Road near the intersection with Angelus Road.

“Next thing we know, we just hear 'boom' and then we all fall onto the ground," Kylee Hatchel, 11, who was on the bus, said, "And we were rushing to get out the exits.”
Aside from bumps and scratches, Hatchel is okay. Eight other students were taken to the hospital with injuries, officials said.
"[On] one of the little girls they had started cutting up her pants -- I guess something was wrong with her legs," Ashley Cobb, Hatchel's mom, said, "There was a little girl that had a neck brace on and something like a brace on her back."
Cobb said she is relieved her daughter is okay and concerned about the other children on the bus. She doesn't, however, fault the bus driver for what happened. While authorities have not said what caused the crash, Cobb believes it's the dirt road the school bus was driving on that contributed to the crash.
“When I got to the scene, I could hardly walk the road, that’s how slick it was," Cobb said. "I was slipping."
Neighbors said it’s been a problem for years, and not just on McCaskill Road.
Resident Ethan Foard says there are many unpaved county-maintained roads in Chesterfield County.
“When it gets a little bit of rain on it, it turns into peanut butter," Foard said.
While officials have not released a cause for the crash, Foard and others want this to be a cautionary tale.
“These dirt roads are so bad that every year, buses have trouble getting up and down them," Nicole Simpson, also a resident, said. "That just happened to be one of the worst things that happened.
The condition of the eight students is unknown.
WCNC Charlotte viewer Nicole Simpson shared photos with reporter Indira Eskieva that showed the bus on its side. Simpson also got a look inside the bus before it was brought back on its wheels. A wrecker eventually towed it away.
