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 Kershaw:
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.

CAMDEN, S.C. — The Arts Center of Kershaw County will host its annual Black History Month celebration on Sunday.

"The Heritage Tea is a time that we can celebrate our heritage and honor Black History Month through the arts," said Founding Member of the Multicultural Committee Ann Davis.

Davis says this year's event recognizes three local trailblazers, two of which are known as "living legends." She also is proud to call them great friends.

One of them is Vivian Metze, who was an educator for more than 40 years.

"She was the first African American and the first female to chair the Kershaw County School Board," Davis said. "She was the chair of the Voter Registration for years."

Also being recognized is Bishop Thomas Bell, a local religious leader in Camden.

"He would gather up a group of his colleagues, and they were the just Jesus Movement, and they would stand on the corner of downtown Camden and they read the bible from Genesis to Revelations," Davis said.

Last, but not least, is Clifton Anderson, who's well-known as a community advocate.

"He would go to Washington and gather pieces of artwork and he would get the theme from the American Association of Negro History and he would bring all of this artwork back to Camden to share," Davis said.

Sunday's event will also feature all of the Black History Month projects students across the county created.

"I mainly focused on Michael Jackson, and this was a timeline that I thought of at the start," student Mason Chappell said. "I guess I highlighted more of what he did when he was younger."

The event kicks off at 3 p.m. at the Arts Center of Kershaw County. It is free to the public.

With about 300 vacancies across the district, Richland Two is changing their hiring process to make coming in more efficient.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Richland Two School Board is speeding up its hiring process through an amendment to a hiring policy already in place.

The policy previously required contracts to go before the board and superintendent and be approved prior to an employee being hired.

Board Chair Lindsay Agostini said the slower hiring process sometimes caused them to lose candidates.

She gave this statement saying, “This is a positive change for us. We will be able to bring people in upon them getting their offer instead of waiting for board approval.”

With almost 300 vacancies for jobs across the district, the board believed this new hiring process could help a lot.

Jan Hammond, a teacher and former board chair for Lexington Richland Five, commented on this policy update saying it is something for other districts to keep their eye on.

“Teachers are the type of people that pick up and cover for each other," Hammond explained. "I can assure you that those shortages do put greater demands on the teachers that are already there. If this puts a teacher in the classroom quicker, I look forward to seeing how this policy works for Richland Two."

Before the policy change, Richland Two Board Chair Agostini explained that it would take almost a month before the board could see a contract. Now, they are hoping to hire teachers as temporary workers to get them in the door before the new hires receive an officially approved contract.

Other districts in the midlands like Richland One and Fairfield County have similar hiring policies. Other districts like Lexington One and Kershaw have policies that require interviews and principal involvement.

All districts across the midlands hire differently but for now, Richland Two is trying this new policy out to address their district's need for staff.

On Wednesday, March 22, the district will be hosting a recruitment fair to help further its hiring efforts. This will take place in the R2i2 building and will last from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

KERSHAW COUNTY, S.C. (WIS) - S.C. Department of Education records show the Kershaw County School District cut the educational time for at least one special needs student this May and August through a breakdown in its transportation system.

There may be more students involved.

WIS obtained two written decisions from the SCDE through Stephanie Crow, the mother of a 7-year-old student, Laura Crow. The decisions were in response to Stephanie’s complaints.

Laura is diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, leaving her largely non-verbal and subject to seizures.

The documents outlined how the district illegally shortened Laura’s school days and access to educational services through either late arrivals to school or removing Laura from class. The impacted days included May 23–27 and August 1–19 of this year.

The documents show Laura lost up to 40 to 60 minutes of school time per impacted day.

Stephanie told WIS she first became aware of the missed time after the school nurse notified her on Aug. 3 that Laura missed a 1:50 treatment session despite the school not ending until 2:30.

Crow filed a complaint on Aug. 5 with the SCDE, triggering the first written decision. The decision reads in part:

On August 5, 2022, the Director of Special Services sent a District-wide email which read: “Principals, as we begin the school year, I would like to remind everyone that students that receive special needs transportation are to be dismissed at the same time as all other students in our buildings. We must ensure that all students are taught bell to bell.”

Crow filed a second complaint on Aug. 22, after discovering Laura was arriving at school up to an hour late.

Stephanie told WIS she put a phone in Laura’s bag to track her arrival.

“I feel like I can’t trust them, what person buys a phone I can’t trust [the district], what person goes and buys a phone and puts it in their backpack and tracks their kid? I mean, I did it because I’m afraid the school district isn’t doing what it’s supposed to be doing. I mean, that’s not normal,” she said.

The SCDE issued its decisions on Oct. 4 and Oct. 21, finding Laura’s days had been shortened and she’d lost the educational time.

The SCDE mandated a list of corrective actions, including providing Laura with make-up educational time and determining which other students may have been impacted.

The agency gave the district a year to come into compliance. As of the morning of Nov. 21, Stephanie said she’d only received “radio silence.”

After WIS contacted the district about the story on Nov. 21, Stephanie sent WIS a text stating the district had provided her with paperwork to begin the make-up process.

“I might be construed as a bit of a bully for pushing this and for fighting for Laura constantly. But that’s my job as her mom. My job is to hold people accountable when they’re not doing what they’re supposed to be doing. She doesn’t have a voice, but I do and I will use it to fight for her,” Stephanie said.

District spokesperson Becky Bean sent a statement reading:

“KCSD has addressed this transportation issue by requesting and receiving an additional special needs bus from the South Carolina Department of Education to shorten the length of ride time and ensure an on-time arrival to school.

We are aware of the corrective actions listed in the Letters of Resolution and will address all areas of noncompliance for this student and any other students impacted within the given timeframe.”

It’s unclear how many students may have been impacted by the shortened days.
