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 Lancaster:
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.

LANCASTER, S.C. (PINPOINT WEATHER) – While freeze warnings are in effect Tuesday night, the cold is not the unusual part.

Cold weather continues around Charlotte Tuesday; temps gradually warm heading into 2nd half of week

Berries are blooming across the Carolinas more than a month early. Farmers are worried about temperatures dropping into the 20s for more than 6 hours.

Many of the berries at The Ivy Place Berries Farm in Lancaster, S.C., started blooming as early as February. Now, they’re more susceptible to frosts coming as late as April.

“Farmers are eternal optimists, so we’re always hoping something good will happen,” said farm owner Terry Graham.

He says they bought more covers when the berries sprouted a month ago. His team is covering strawberries with two layers for double protection Tuesday night.

“We’re not particularly concerned about the strawberries because we think we can protect them,” explained Graham.

Those flowers can also usually rebloom and make more berries later.

“The roll covers are a fabric; they’re lightweight, said Graham. “It can give two or three degrees protection, but it’s a lot of labor to put them on and take them off and put them on and take them off.”

Blueberries are harder to protect.

Graham purposely planted multiple varietals of blueberries to stagger his crop and alleviate risk. But this year, they all started to bloom at the same time.

“The blueberries are a little more concerning, but we have different varieties at different stages of blooms, so we tend to think hopefully it won’t be a total loss,” he elaborated. “It’s certainly going to have some negative impact.”

Some blueberries blooming now are supposed to be late bloomers; picking typically isn’t until July.

His team hopes the freeze is manageable and short, so customers have berries to pick in the next few weeks.

This SC city has among highest rates of women-owned businesses in the US, study says

Women’s presence in the workplace has steadily increased over the years.

Women’s presence in the workplace has steadily increased over the years. Yet, a gap is still present between women-owned businesses versus men.

With March being Women’s History Month, as well as recently celebrating International Women’s Day, Charleston was found to have the 12th highest percentage of women-owned businesses in the country, according to a study conducted by Overheard On Conference Calls.

Charleston earned the 12th highest ranking nationwide by having 22.8% of businesses in the Charleston metro area being women-owned with 3,594 of these businesses in the area, according to the study’s results.

The primary findings in the study show that just 21.4% of the nation’s businesses are women-owned in comparison to 61% being men-owned and 14% being evenly split between the two.

The considerable gap between business ownership is despite the fact that women make up 46.6% of the total U.S. labor force.

Ahead of Charleston, a city in South Carolina’s neighboring state had the most women-owned businesses in the country.

The report revealed that Asheville has the highest percentage of women-owned businesses in the U.S. at 25%, with St. Louis coming in second with 24.84% and Denver in a close third with 24.8% of businesses being women-owned.

Washington, D.C. made it into fourth overall at 24.6% and Atlanta came in fifth, finalizing the top five, 23.9% of businesses in the metro being women-owned.

There may be a leading reason as to why Asheville scored so high and had the most women-owned businesses in the U.S. The answer may be as simple as prioritization.

Asheville has a number of programs aimed at promoting women in business, including the WomanUp initiative, which focuses on helping women build a strong network and support each other in business, the report by Overheard On Conference Calls states.

In contrast, Mobile reported to have the lowest percentage of women-owned businesses with just 11.9%, according to the study.

In second to last, Lancaster reported to have only 12.5% women-owned businesses and York, another Pennsylvania metro, reported just 14.4% of such businesses.

As for the remainder of the bottom five, Salt Lake City, reported just 14.8% of businesses owned by women in the community and, in fifth to last, Modesto was shown to have just 15.1%, according to the study.

Have you ever been puzzled when someone references a certain region of South Carolina and you’re unsure where they mean?

South Carolina, has the nickname “The Palmetto State,” but other parts of the state carry unique names too.

In fact, locations within South Carolina are frequently referenced after splitting the state into four different regions and by their own nicknames.

These regions encompass the state’s lower coastal area, mid-state, northeastern parts and the upper northwest.

The names they go by are the Lowcountry, the Midlands, Pee Dee and Upstate.

Each regional area has unique historical importance and vast geographical differences that make each section stand out among, not just the other regions but also, the rest of the country.

The South Carolina Lowcountry extends beyond just Beaufort County.

The Palmetto State’s Lowcountry region refers to the southeasternmost area of the state and is comprised of 11 different counties, which include: Beaufort, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Hampton, Jasper, Allendale, Bamberg, Orangeburg, Calhoun and Berkeley counties, according to SC.gov.

Occasionally Barnwell County is also included.

The term Lowcountry was created to describe the area as a majority of the region is not only located in the lower portion of South Carolina, but the land is also closer to sea level and is sunk lower into the water. Hence why the land has an abundance of wetlands and salt marshes.

In addition, the Lowcountry region of South Carolina is rich with history and a heavy geographical difference to the rest of the state.

The area is heavily characterized by its unique salt marshes that create a winding entanglement of shallow waterways, white sand beaches, native live oak trees that may be older than the average person, an abundance of Spanish moss, and palmetto trees all set this specific region apart from the rest of the state.

Maintaining and conserving the area’s abundant natural beauty is a priority in the Lowcountry.

As for the primary culture surrounding the region, the Gullah-Geechee traditions are heavily present, reflected in the food and arts.

This influence can be seen in practices such as the creation of sweetgrass baskets and arts as well as cuisine containing a combination of rice and seafood.

The art of sweetgrass basket sewing has been passed down for generations and is becoming an increasingly dying art as it is specific to the region.

The Midlands region of South Carolina features the state’s capitol, rolling hills, historic sites and miles of riverbanks along the Saluda River.

The Midlands, called as such because it’s located right in the middle of the state, is home to Columbia, the state’s capital, as well as a plethora of forested areas.

SC.gov describes the region as including Aiken, Barnwell, Chester, Edgefield, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lancaster, Lexington, Newberry, Richland, Saluda, and York Counties.

Each county features its own unique activities such as the heavy equestrian influence in Aiken, historical sites in Columbia and kayaking in the 200 mile-long Saluda River.

Revolutionary War sites are also present in this region.

The Pee Dee region of South Carolina is found in the northeastern region of the state and includes recognizable cities such as the Myrtle Beach area and Florence.

“The cultural & political significance of the Pee Dee people to the area is why Europeans named the Pee Dee River & the Pee Dee region of South Carolina after the tribe,” reported peedeetribe.org.

The Pee Dee people are a small Native American tribe located along the Pee Dee River within northeastern South Carolina’s Pee Dee region.

Although today the tribe consists of less than 150 enrolled Pee Dee, the tribe was once a profound cultural and political power in the region.

The PeeDee region of the Palmetto State includes Chesterfield, Clarendon, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Lee, Marion, Marlboro, Sumter, and Williamsburg Counties, according to SC.gov.

Aside from vacation locales such as Myrtle Beach, the region is home to several wildlife refuges, historic sites, gardens, museums and more.

Upstate South Carolina can be found in the furthermost northwest part of the state.

The area is also sometimes referred to as Piedmont.

The Upstate region of the Palmetto State is said to include the counties of Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, McCormick, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg, and Union, as reported by SC.gov.

This mountainous region is at the top of the state and features the Blue Ridge Mountains, which stretch outwardly toward Georgia and West Virginia.

In Upstate South Carolina, Greenville offers visitors an abundance of shopping and arts. Other popular areas in this region include Spartanburg, where the Denny’s headquarters can be found, and Clemson, home of Clemson University, which was founded in 1889.
