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:

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.

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.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, S.C. — Some big changes could be in store for many local water suppliers in South Carolina if the Environmental Protection Agency’s new limits on forever chemicals take effect.
The EPA wants limits of 4 parts per trillion for two PFAS chemicals. According to the Associated Press, PFAS, or per- and polyfluorinated substances, are a group of compounds that are widespread, dangerous and expensive to remove from water.
WATCH >> Plane Crashes Into Catawba River
Channel 9′s Tina Terry learned that the new limits could end up costing those local companies, and some of that cost could be passed to you.
The chemicals are often used in a variety of industries, and they’ve long been considered a risk to humans and animals.
“They last for a very long time, and they can build up in the environment and in people’s bodies,” said Brandon Jones, the Catawba Riverkeeper. “That’s what makes them dangerous, and some of them are known carcinogens.”
RELATED STORIES
Neighbors like Linda Davenport say the new proposed regulations to protect tap water are welcome.
“Tap water is used for everything in our house, and I want it to be safe and healthy,” Davenport said.
But the limits aren’t in effect currently, and testing by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control in 2020 showed that 24 surface water plants are already over 4 parts per trillion. Two of those plants are in our area.
A plant in Camden, in Kershaw County, had 7.4 parts per trillion for PFAS -- that plant serves more than 16,000 people. Another plant in Cheraw in Chesterfield County that provides water to more than 8,000 people had 7.2 parts per trillion. Charlotte’s water supply was under 4 parts per trillion, according to recent data.
“There hasn’t been a lot of statutes in place to regulate these chemicals in our water,” Jones said.
Jones added that if the proposal goes into effect, all drinking water suppliers will have to monitor for these chemicals and will have to be prepared to remove them.
“I would expect anyone using surface water to have some of these chemicals in their water,” Jones said. “They will have to have the capacity to treat for that and that is certainly going to increase costs.”
The EPA’s proposal won’t be finalized until the end of the year, and it could change by that time.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, S.C. — A school bus driver has been cited for a crash in Chesterfield County Friday afternoon that left at least eight students hurt, officials said.
All students who were sent to the hospital after a school bus flipped just before 4 p.m. on McCaskill Road near Angelus Road, east of Jefferson, have been released, according to school officials.
The bus was carrying 24 students from Jefferson elementary and New Heights middle school at the time of the crash, according to school officials.
“All I remember was just hearing a boom and then the bus falling,” said Kylee Hatchell, a sixth-grader at New Heights Middle School. “And everybody falling into the windows and falling everywhere.”

Nine students, ages 8 to 12, were taken to Atrium Health Union on Friday, mostly with minor injuries, hospital officials told Channel 9. Some students may have more significant injuries.
“I’m feeling a lot better now than I was earlier,” said Kylee, who was OK after the crash. “I was really stressed earlier, like how are going to get home?”
As of Saturday morning, all the students were back home.

On Tuesday, South Carolina Highway Patrol said the bus driver was cited for driving too fast for the conditions.
During their investigation, troopers determined the driver lost control of the bus and went off the road to the left. The driver then struck an embankment and overturned.
“They told us that the bus wrecked. They didn’t tell us that it flipped. And then when I get down here, it’s flipped on its side,” parent Ashley Cobb said. “I asked Kylee, ‘Was she speeding?’ Was she going fast?’ She was like, ‘No.’ (The bus driver) was going slow, but when she went around the curb, the road was so slick the bus just slid and flipped.”
Cobb said she is frustrated because she found out about the wreck when her daughter called from the bus.
Cobb said she finally got an email two hours later.
“That’s what I’m upset about,” Cobb said. “They should’ve automatically got into contact with us. There are students on the bus that their parents probably didn’t know.”
Meanwhile, the mother and daughter praised the bus driver, who did everything she could to ensure students got off the bus safely.
Kylee jumped in to help, too.
“I just knew everybody else was upset and I knew I was one of the older people,” Kylee said. “I’m in New Heights, and a lot of the kids are from elementary and younger. I just wanted to help out as much as I could.”
Channel 9 reached out to the district spokesman to ask about Cobb’s concerns about how long it took to notify her. We have not heard back.

JANUARY 23, 2022 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City of Aiken Announces Partnership with SRNL at State of the City Address
Aiken, SC – The City of Aiken announced Monday it will explore building a new high-tech workforce development Center in Downtown Aiken to house elements of the Savannah River National Laboratory using $20 million in Plutonium settlement funding set aside by the State of South Carolina for that purpose.
Aiken Mayor Rick Osbon hosted fellow elected officials, City staff, and members of the public for the City’s annual State of the City address. The event summarized the City’s successes from the past year before moving into the SRNL proposal to be considered in future weeks by Aiken City Council.
Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is the newest National Laboratory under the Department of Energy (DOE). Nationwide, there are 17 DOE National Laboratories, and SRNL is the only DOE lab in the Carolinas, serving the Southeast region of the United State along with Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. SRNL is operated by Battelle in collaboration with University of South Carolina, Clemson, South Carolina State University, University of Georgia, and Georgia Institute of Technology.
SRNL’s mission is ensuring America’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. We create high quality jobs in central Savannah River area and are an enduring economic engine by attracting advanced science and technology-based companies.
The Laboratory achieves this by attracting, motivating, and training a diverse and highly skilled workforce to execute on complex DOE programs. Therefore, SRNL is envisioning a workforce development building (WDB) that will provide the Laboratory with a pipeline for new talent acquisition as well as develop the existing employee base. Over the next five years, we anticipate hiring more than 1,500 highly-technical employees and host more than 100 faculty/graduate students and 500 undergraduate interns.
The work in the proposed building extends far beyond the five partner universities and includes an intense focus on minority serving institutions, continuing professional development of SRNL employees, recruitment of postdoc scientists; graduate students; undergraduate students; technicians (2-year degree); and precollege students. The pre-college tier is essential for building a long-term talent pipeline.
SRNL’s workforce development building is envisioned to be the hub for Laboratory’s collaboration with academic and industrial partners. SRNL would permanently place between 80-100 laboratory employees at this location to enable the following planned activities.
Director Dr. Vahid Majidi said he intends for the Downtown facility to serve as the community face of SRNL. His stated goals for the facility include:
