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.
During the course of the year, we serve many Lowcountry homeowners just like you, who know they need a professional
electrician to help.Some of our most common residential electrical services include:
If you're having electrical problems in your home, one of the quickest, most efficient ways to find out what's going on is with professional troubleshooting. 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 Matthews, 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.

MATTHEWS, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AMC Research is initiating a clinical trial for a promising new investigational treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Matthews, N.C.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220907005335/en/
The Phase I study will determine the safety and tolerability of a single intravenous (IV) dose and multiple IV doses of ACU193. We are asking individuals who have memory problems to consider participating in the trial to assist in evaluating this medication for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. There is no cost to participate. Acumen Pharmaceuticals Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel targeted therapeutics for AD, is sponsoring the clinical trial.
ACU193 targets amyloid-beta oligomers and is a different approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease than currently approved medications. ACU193 is designed to locate and bind to amyloid-beta oligomers – proteins that build up in the brain in people with Alzheimer’s disease. These proteins are thought to be involved in Alzheimer’s disease symptoms and progression.
The trial site, located at 10801 Monroe Road Suite #100, Matthews, N.C. 28105, is led by principal investigator Dr. Mohammad Bolouri, at AMC Research. Patients who believe they qualify for the study are asked to call (704) 364-4000 ext 235 or email ssbolouri@amcneurology.com to learn more.
“We’re excited to open this trial in Matthews to study ACU193 for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease,” Dr. Bolouri said. “If you or a loved one is experiencing memory problems, contact us to find out more about the study. More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. New, safe and effective treatments are needed more than ever. Participating in clinical trials is one way members of our community can help make a difference.”
Key Eligibility Criteria:
This study is the first time ACU193 will be given to people. As all drugs and medical procedures carry a risk of side effects, it is possible that participants may experience some discomfort or other reactions from use of ACU193. The study staff will explain these potential risks before potential participants decide whether to participate in the study. The safety of participants will be closely monitored throughout the study.
Study participants will receive a full diagnostic work-up, including an amyloid PET scan and MRI that can provide a more accurate diagnosis and help guide future treatment options. After finishing this study, participants may consider participating in future studies of ACU193 in which all participants could receive ACU193 at some point in the study.
About ACU193 ACU193 is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) discovered and developed based on its selectivity for soluble AβOs, which Acumen believes are the most toxic and pathogenic form of Aβ relative to Aβ monomers and amyloid plaques. Soluble AβOs have been observed to be potent neurotoxins that bind to neurons, inhibit synaptic function and induce neurodegeneration. By selectively targeting toxic soluble AβOs, ACU193 aims to directly address what a growing body of evidence indicates is a primary underlying cause of the neurodegenerative process in AD.
About AMC Research Alzheimer's Memory Center (AMC) is Charlotte’s premier center dedicated to the comprehensive management of Alzheimer’s and related dementias, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI), vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, pseudodementia, Lewy body dementia, and Parkinsonian dementia. They serve residents in the Charlotte metro area, as well as people throughout North and South Carolina. They are conveniently located minutes away from several major hospitals with easy access to multiple freeways and an international airport. The facility includes a comprehensive research facility operated by highly qualified, well-trained staff, with a CLIA-certified laboratory for the collection of clinical trial specimens.

People have been really excited to be back out here too especially because there is enough food to put anyone in a coma.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - An exciting weekend is coming to an end in the town of Matthews.
After a couple of years of cancellations because of the pandemic, Matthews Alive came back and in a big way. The festival brings thousands of people to downtown Matthews every year. While there is more food and family fun for everyone, there is an even better reason to get out there.
For anybody who does not know, Matthews Alive is a four-day festival always over the Labor Day weekend. The event supports local non-profits. The money raised at Matthews Alive goes right to those non-profits so they can keep helping you. To date, the event has donated 1.9 million dollars to those organizations!
People have been really excited to be back out here too especially because there is enough food to put anyone in a coma. People were happy the family fun returned to Matthews at the Matthews Alive event! And so did the crowd.
“The festival just means so much to everybody. Just being together and enjoying fun and laughter and the music. Great food. Everything,” says one woman who attended with her grandson.
Hundreds of people came to the event, with many observing just how different the two years made.
”It’s weird because I’ve seen nobody with their mask on,” says one attendee.
“So happy it’s back again. It’s nice to be around everyone and everyone is having a nice time today,” says another.
That two years were not just making a difference with the pandemic protocols.
”I don’t want to cry but it was very strenuous,” says Peter Hankenjohann, owner of Kleine Beine—a local honey shop.
His business, like many others, suffered without festivals.
”At the end of the year if you can’t sell the honey, it doesn’t go away, it doesn’t go bad but it’s also not paying the bull sitting in the building,” he says.
Hankenjohann says his business doesn’t have an online presence, so festivals are their only way of making money. So crowds are encouraging.
”It feels great because I want to say it’s back to what it was pre-COVID,” he explains.
With the festivals rolling in, Hankenjohann says he’s booked almost every weekend for the rest of the year.
”After two years of a break, I said let’s start booking and then we kept on booking,” he says.
So he is making up for lost time, something he is grateful for.
”It’s hot. I’m exhausted. But it’s…I don’t want to go back and sit around at home,” he shares.

MATTHEWS, N.C. (WBTV) - Thousands of people flocked to downtown Matthews for the Matthews Alive festival Labor Day Weekend.
The festival features food, amusement rides and activities for people of all ages. The festival was canceled the last two years because of health concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
WBTV spoke to Barbara Taylor, director of the Matthews Heritage Museum, to learn more about the history of the town.
“Probably the most important thing to know about Matthews is we started about 100 years behind Charlotte. What we are best known for, I think, is our wonderful family feeling,” explained Taylor. “Any Saturday you can just walk down the street and there are people walking everywhere, going to the farmer’s market, grabbing a cup of coffee. There’s a real friendly atmosphere here in Matthews.”
Taylor said the town’s first residents called the area Stumptown because early settlers moved in quickly, chopped down trees, and left the stumps behind.
Eventually Stumptown came to be known as Matthews. Taylor said the town was named for Edward Matthews, a director from the Central Carolina Railroad.
“We were not a mill town. It was more agrarian. Cotton was king for a number of years,” said Taylor. “This town grew up like many American towns – very slowly.”
The heritage museum showcases the methodical growth of Matthews. Museum visitors can read about the town’s first institutions like the Matthews Cash Crop and Bigger’s Furniture.
“The way we tell our story is basically the story of almost any town USA. You know, we had the cobbler or the shoemaker. We had the barber,” elaborated Taylor.
According to United States census data, fewer than a thousand people lived in Matthews until after 1970. The population exploded in the 1980s and 1990s.
The town has continued to grow. What was once a small, agrarian community has become a major suburb of Charlotte. People who live and work in the area told WBTV that they still appreciate the modern version of small-town charm.
“It’s got a different vibe. It’s got a quieter, more family vibe and everything,” said Ryan Ostendorf, a Charlotte resident who works in Matthews.
No weekend showcases the town’s family-friendly atmosphere like Labor Day Weekend. The annual Matthews Alive festival is held during the holiday weekend. The weekend-long festival brings all sorts of fun, food and art to the heart of town.
“It’s a time, a weekend, Labor Day weekend, just to relax and have fun,” explained Taylor.
Patrick Balsley, a Matthews resident, said he has been coming to the festival for years and looks forward to this year’s event.
“I have a lot of nostalgic memories from when I was a kid here in Matthews and I’m looking forward to sharing that with my kids this weekend so we’re definitely coming,” he explained.
The Matthews Heritage Museum is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

NEW BERN, N.C. (WITN) - Hurricanes have caused massive amounts of destruction to areas in Eastern Carolina in the past, but this year, the tropical activity has been quieter than usual.
Hurricane Florence ripped through New Bern in 2018, destroying nearly 800 businesses and leaving the city reeling with a $100 million bill.
However, as the peak of hurricane season has passed, meteorologists like WITN’s Jim Howard are optimistic, even with the current La Niña weather pattern.
“Things may change, but right now, the La Niña conditions are not enhancing the tropical activity,” Howard says. “We’ve seen low numbers despite La Niña conditions building in.”
New Bern resident Jill Maxwell lived and worked in the city during Florence. She saw its destruction firsthand with $250,000 worth of damages caused to the store where she worked.
“Because of the significant amount of rain that we received in the 36 hours, it collapsed the roof, and it’s a two-story roof and it collapsed all the way down so it blew out the entire storefront,” Maxwell said.
Even though conditions this season have been quieter, Maxwell isn’t counting out the possibility of another major hurricane just yet.
“We’ve had hurricanes that have hit after the September timeframe, so I don’t think that we should be complacent and not think about it, but as long as they don’t come to North Carolina, we’re good,” Maxwell said.
Howard Matthews was also a victim of Florence. He lost his home and most of his possessions, but says that even though the city was in bad shape, the storm brought the community together.
“People were offering water, towels and we came through the storm and it brought us together, it really did,” Matthews said.
Matthews is hopeful that with no named storms on the radar at this point in the season, the end of November will come without any damage to the New Bern area.
The 2022 hurricane season will end on Nov. 30th, according to the National Weather Service.
There have only been two years since 1994 that have had less than 10 named storms. And with about two and a half months left in the season, there are no named storms on the radar.
