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. 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 and residential electrical services at affordable prices, all year long. Here are just a few reasons why Lowcountry residents trust Engineered Electrical Solutions:

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.

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 Fort Lawn, 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.

S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster talked Friday afternoon about all that comes with the new Gallo’s Operations Facility in Fort Lawn.
“This is a great thing,” McMaster said. “This offers careers, long-term employment, with good benefits and good work in a great company. This was a great step forward, not only for the state but for this area.”
McMaster and E&J Gallo’s CEO Ernest Gallo were in Chester County for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at what has been reported to be the winemaker’s first facility on the East Coast. A fact sheet on the Gallow website says there is a winery in New York.
Construction of the regional distribution facility started in June 2021, and there was a push to get it ready by the projected date of Oct. 3. However, company officials said this is just the first phase en route to a long and successful partnership with this state.
“It feels fantastic,” said Stein Edwards, Gallo’s Senior Director of Operations in South Carolina. “This community has been very welcoming, bringing us in. They welcomed us with open arms.
“A lot of our folks that we’ve hired are from this very local area. And they’ve been watching this project for several years, and a lot of them said, ‘hey, we can’t wait to get started, and we’re so happy what you’re doing for the community.’ So it’s really neat to be a part of.”
Gallo officials said they expect to add manufacturing lines in 2023 as they begin production and making further investments in the state.
Brooke Clinton, president of the Chester County Chamber of Commerce, said the facility will have an impact on the local area both now and in the future.
The facility is expected to bring almost 500 jobs to Lancaster and Chester counties. Fort Lawn is in Chester County, but close to the Lancaster County border.
There are currently about 80 people working at the site, and Gallo is currently adding new employees.
“We’re training the folks right now,” said Erich Kaepp, the vice president of Eastern Operations at Gallo. “We’re going through a new warehouse management system, so they’re learning how to do all those kinds of things and get ready to ship. We’ve successfully gotten eight trucks so far. We’ve gotten them all received, so it seems to be going okay, so far.”
The company cited access to the Southeast market and South Carolina’s infrastructure as reasons for choosing South Carolina as its east coast operations location.
McMaster said there will be more business opportunities coming to the state. He said the people and culture are what draw companies here.

Our state-of-the-art fiber-optic network ensures that this area is prepared for the future.”
Comporium continues to work with state and federal agencies to find ways to upgrade service to rural customers.

In May of this year the company completed a similar project and extended fiber access to more than 160 addresses in the Fort Lawn area.

MONCKS CORNER — Check the box. Fort Fair Lawn is the first historic site that is part of South Carolina’s Liberty Trail to open to the public.
The ribbon was cut the morning of Sept. 23, providing access to a remarkable, well-preserved British fort used during the American Revolution as a staging ground and strategic installation. It both deployed Redcoats to Charleston and the surrounding areas, and received Redcoats in retreat from battles such as the bloody one in 1781 at Eutaw Springs, the last big confrontation of the war in the state.
Tours are available via the Old Santee Canal Park in Moncks Corner. Temporary signage is mounted with permanent signage interpreting this history to come.
The fort was manned by garrisons ordered to protect British interests and to make it easier to move troops. It was a crossroads and a base from which the British lay siege on Charleston.
During that siege and subsequent occupation, which spanned 32 months beginning in the spring of 1780, American fighters led by Brig. Gen. Francis Marion, Lt. Col. Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee, Col. Wade Hampton, Col. Hezekiah Maham, Col. Isaac Shelby and other Patriots adopted guerrilla tactics and harassed British positions.
This strategy eroded the ability of the British to retain control of the territory. They were forced to engage in skirmishes, launch raids to procure food, forage for supplies and more, often finding themselves under fire.
Fort Fair Lawn was an extension of the Fair Lawn Barony, 12,000 acres along the west branch of the Cooper River owned by the Colleton family. It included a mansion the British would use as a retreat.
On Nov. 17, 1781, Marion dispatched Maham and Shelby and about 400 fighters to attack Fair Lawn. The British, taken by surprise, were forced to surrender.
The Lord Berkeley Trust began the process of acquiring the 80-acre Fort Fair Lawn tract in 2007, but it wasn’t until 2016 that the property was secured. It took $1 million in funding from the South Carolina Conservation Bank, $500,000 in hydrology mitigation funding from the State Ports Authority, and $500,000 from the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program.
A tiny bridge in the woods leads to the fort, surrounded by the remains of a moat that once had about 6 feet of water in it. A small mound marks the remains of a cannon barbette. In the center of the fort are some loose bricks that once were part of a kiln the British used to forge weapons and ammunition. From this location the fort’s earthen walls, now merely eroded and overgrown mounds, are easier to see.
Doug Bostick, executive director of the S.C. Battleground Preservation Trust, said the upcoming 250th anniversary celebration of the Revolutionary War surely has provided impetus to many to secure this and other historic sites. The trust, he said, has enjoyed notable success in recent years. Six properties are currently subject to negotiations, he said.
Among them is a site in Hollywood connected to the Battle of Stono Ferry. Another is Hammond’s Store in Laurens County. Another is Ports Ferry in Florence County.
All of these Revolutionary War sites will be part of the Liberty Trail, a joint effort between the S.C. Battleground Preservation Trust and the American Battlefield Trust to preserve, interpret and promote key battlefields of the Southern Campaign.
The network is made possible thanks to involvement from nonprofits such as the Lord Berkeley Conservation Trust, the South Carolina Conservation Bank, municipal and county officials, and private and corporate philanthropy.

When E. & J. Gallo Winery announced its plans and began construction last June for a massive East Coast hub in Chester County, company leaders targeted October 2022 to open the first piece of the operation. The nation's largest winemaker held a ceremony today to celebrate the fact it achieved that goal despite supply-chain challenges stemming from the Covid-19 outbreak.
Gallo welcomed a number of state and local leaders, including S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster, to mark the opening of its regional distribution center in Fort Lawn. The distribution operation occupies just a piece of a large, 1.5 million-square-foot building that is under construction to accommodate the first phase of Gallo's East Coast operation.
Erich Kaepp, Gallo's vice president of eastern operations, said it was "a push up to the end" to prepare to launch the distribution operation, which officially opened on Oct. 3.
"Having achieved that milestone further demonstrates that choosing South Carolina was the correct decision," CEO Ernest Gallo said of the company staying on schedule despite pandemic-related challenges. "Although we are here to celebrate the opening of this facility, it is just the first of many anticipated phases."
Gallo pledged a $423 million investment and the creation of nearly 500 jobs for the first phase of the project that includes the regional distribution center, a production facility, warehousing, bottling, canning and an import and export hub.
The company plans to open the next piece of the operation in February, when it is targeting the opening of its first production line in Fort Lawn. That line will serve the company's High Noon brand. Kaepp said he is still eyeing May and August of next year, respectively, to open the second and third production lines at the first phase.
The Modesto, California-based Gallo has acquired well over 600 acres at the intersection of S.C. Highway 9 and U.S. Highway 21 for the East Coast hub. The first portion of Gallo's Chester County operations is expected to take up around 300 acres, leaving significant room for growth beyond the initial $423 million commitment.
In total, the master-planned site could have as many as five major phases. A construction timetable for the following phases is still being finalized. Upon full buildout of the site, Gallo's total investment is expected to surpass $1 billion and create over 1,000 jobs over the course of several decades.
Kaepp said Gallo has hired just shy of 80 workers thus far and will have another cohort of around 30 employees coming in November. The hiring process has been constant in recent months and will continue to move quickly, Kaepp said.
"We have much, much bigger plans for South Carolina in the future," Gallo's Rob Donoho said on Friday. "In the future, we envision have many more buildings similar to this over the decades to come. We see tremendous growth opportunities in South Carolina."
Gallo's announcement last year came after it secured incentives packages and S.C. lawmakers changed the state's alcohol laws for Gallo's operations. The project has widely been seen as a transformative one for Chester County and Fort Lawn, the tiny town with a population under 1,000.
McMaster said Friday was a "glorious day" for S.C. because of Gallo's investment. Friday's ceremony was McMaster's second visit in as many days to the S.C. portion of the Charlotte region. He attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday for Nutramax Laboratories' latest expansion in Lancaster.
McMaster echoes the confidence of other local leaders that Gallo's investment could kickstart more development momentum along I-77 between Charlotte and Columbia. He and other state and local leaders have compared Gallo's potential impact on the I-77 corridor to that of BMW's on the I-85 corridor between Greenville and Charlotte.
"This is a great step forward not only for the state, but for this area," McMaster said.
