A few of our most popular commercial and industrial electrical services include but are not limited to:

Circuit Breakers

Tripped Circuit Breakers

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.

Flickering Lights

Flickering Lights

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

Dead Power Outlets

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.

Residential Electrician vs. Commercial Electrician in Indian Trailo:
What's the Difference?

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.

MONROE – Water utilities serving five counties, including Union, will coordinate their annual Water Quality Preventative Maintenance Program throughout March.

This involves temporarily switching water disinfectants from chloramines to chlorine to optimize water quality within the distribution systems from March 1 to 31 in the following areas:

• Union County: Public water systems in Weddington, Wesley Chapel, Waxhaw, Marvin, Indian Trail, Stallings, Wingate, Marshville, Fairview, Unionville and unincorporated areas of Union County served by Union County Water.

• Monroe: Public water system in the city of Monroe.

• Lancaster County: Public water systems in Lancaster, Heath Springs, Kershaw and unincorporated areas of Lancaster County served by Lancaster County Water and Sewer District.

• Anson County: Public water systems in Wadesboro, Morven, Lilesville, Peachland, Polkton, Marshville, Ansonville, unincorporated areas of Anson County and portions of Richmond County and Chesterfield County, S.C., served by Anson County Utilities.

While most water customers will notice a change, some may notice temporary taste, color or odor differences in their water. Union County says this is normal and that water remains safe for drinking, bathing, cooking and other uses.

Three groups are encouraged to get professional advice about appropriate steps in response to changes in water disinfection:

• kidney dialysis providers/patients,

• fish, pond, pool and aquarium owners/ operators, and

• some businesses that use water in their production process.

The annual maintenance, which is recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and N.C. Department of Environmental Quality, is performed when water usage is low.

Residents may see crews performing flushing operations at hydrants to ensure chlorinated water is dispersed through the entire system.

The disinfection process will return to using chloramines when the program is completed March 31.

MONROE – Area families can access health screenings, pick up some gently used clothing, take part in a fitness class, get tips on how to stay well and more at the Community Health & Wellness Fair on April 1.

The event, which includes kids zone activities and a hot dog lunch, is free and open to the public. It is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Monroe Middle School at 601 E. Sunset Drive in Monroe.

The fair is hosted by Heart for Monroe, Wingate University and the Health Sciences Academy at Monroe Middle School.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with so many community organizations to bring multiple services and activities together under one roof,” said Lisa Dinkins, a pharmacy professor at Wingate and the university’s director of Community Health Outreach. “Our pharmacy, physician assistant, occupational therapy, nursing and public health students and faculty members will join medical providers from the community to offer a number of screenings and educational exhibits, not to mention fun activities and door prizes.”

This is the second community-wide health fair organized by Wingate, Heart for Monroe and the Health Sciences Academy at Monroe Middle (in partnership with Atrium Health). A similar event in November 2019 drew a crowd of roughly 700.

On April 1, dozens of nonprofit organizations will be on hand to share information and provide services, including The Closet, a popular Heart for Monroe ministry that provides free clothing for adults and children. While parents peruse clothing items at one end of the gym, children can enjoy fun and educational activities at the other. And families can take part in fitness classes in the gym as well.

Monroe Middle’s cafeteria will be filled with exhibits, and participants can sample healthy foods prepared by members of the Union County Cooperative Extension as they visit. Throughout the day, door prizes, including grocery gift certificates and gym memberships, will be awarded.

MONROE – The Monroe City Council voted to hire Mark Watson as its city manager on March 14, three months after he was fired from his county manager job.

The council’s vote was not unanimous. Gary Anderson, James Kerr, Lynn Keziah and Julie Thompson voted in favor. Freddie Gordon and Mayor Marion Holloway voted against the measure.

Gordon said he didn’t believe the council followed proper procedure in recruiting a new manager since firing Brian Borne on Feb. 28. He said they not only didn’t ask for applications but they also haven’t received resumes or vetted any prospects.

“We are being asked to hire an individual who as been reported by his former employer, the County of Union, North Carolina, is under investigation for malfeasance,” Gordon said. “Although not completed, this gentleman has a human resources background – it defies logic. There is nothing to protect the city from this contract if this investigation were found valid.”

Gordon said the city has paid out millions of dollars to former managers and their replacements over the years.

Keziah, who has served on the council for 41 years, disagreed with Gordon’s remarks.

“We got real lucky,” Keziah said. “The county made a bad mistake, freed up a good man, somebody that I’ve heard nothing but positive comments about. I think we’re lucky to have him. I look forward to his leadership. I wasn’t happy with the one we had. I thought he was power hungry.”

Watson’s compensation and benefits package includes a base salary of $200,000.
