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.

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.

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.

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. — From a very young age, North Carolina native Miia Harris knew that performing was her dream.

MATTHEWS, N.C. — From a very young age, North Carolina native Miia Harris knew that performing was her dream. Now, the former Matthews resident is doing big things on the big screen.
“When I was really little, when I would get a new book, I would pick a character that I would cast myself as that role, and then I would read the book out loud as that role,” Harris told Your704′s Elsa Gillis.
“Really, from a young age I was begging my parents to move to LA,” Harris said.
Eleven years and more than 100 auditions later, that dream is becoming her reality.
Harris landed a starring role as “Clawdeen Wolf” in Nickelodeon’s “Monster High: The Movie,” which was released in October.
The week before Harris left for college she auditioned virtually for the movie.
“Then three weeks into school, I ended up booking ‘Monster High: The Movie,’” she said.
Now, Harris gets to do what she loves: transform into something or someone else just like she would as a little girl with her books.
“You get to go on so many adventures. I never would get to be a purple werewolf, but I get to do it so it’s pretty cool,” Harris said.
She hopes this is just the beginning.
Harris knows acting is a tough path. As her career starts to take off, she offers this advice to others considering acting: “My parents did a pretty good job of keeping it real with me. ... I think I just always loved it so, so much that I was like I just don’t think there’s anything else I could do, even if it never works out.
“I think a lot of people have that mentality. If you have this passion for something at the end of the day it doesn’t even really matter if you succeed because it’s what you love to do, and I think to even chase that dream is so fun and exciting.”
You can see Harris again in the sequel to “Monster High: The Movie,” which is scheduled to come out later this year.

Family owned Nonna Maria’s Italian Deli & Market has opened in Matthews, offering a new spot to pick up fresh pasta, Italian deli meats and more — including New York-style bagels.
Rich and Enza Pilla moved to Charlotte from New York with their daughter, Abbie, and were searching for staples and comforts from back home, similar to what you’d find at the Bronx’s Arthur Avenue Retail Market in Little Italy.
Stacked with a background that includes Enza Pilla spending summers with family northeast of Naples in the Campania region of Italy, the couple eventually turned to opening Nonna Maria’s — named after her late mother.
What you’ll find at the deli and market includes fresh pasta and gourmet sauces, plus a variety of Italian meats, cheeses and bread. The shop will sell Italian wines, as well. And let’s not forget, the baked goods will include New York-style bagels, which are hotly coveted in the Charlotte area. Flavor options include plain, onion multigrain, poppy seed sesame, Asiago, everything, cinnamon raisin and French toast.
Besides the bagels, Nonna Marie’s will serve breakfast options including breakfast sandwiches with your choice of bacon, ham or sausage, plus hashbrowns and omelets. Lunch choices include hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, salads and soups. Naturally, those sandwich options include meatball, chicken and eggplant parm, and sausage and peppers.
“We are very excited to share with you the Italian heritage that I have had the profound privilege to grow up with and still live by everyday,” Enza Pilla said on the market’s website.

Businesses like the Carolina Beer Temple, which do not have a parking lot of their own, do not have a place for food trucks without using public parking spots.
MATTHEWS, N.C. — The fight for food trucks in downtown Matthews is on.
A town ordinance that's been in place for years does not allow food trucks, or any business on wheels, to take up space on public roads, right of ways, or parking spots. They must be on private property.
The Carolina Beer Temple on Trade Street has been hosting food trucks near its business without problems for years because the ordinance went unenforced. Without a parking lot of its own, the Carolina Beer Temple's visiting food truck would park in public parking spots.
That changed on April 17 when the town began strictly enforcing the rule.
Not just the Carolina Beer Temple is concerned. Neighboring Matthews businesses have signed its petition to allow food trucks in public spaces.
"The businesses are getting exposure and they’ve told me that,” president of Carolina Beer Temple Rob Jacik said, adding that the food trucks generate around 30% more revenue a day for him and create foot traffic to neighboring shops.

The town's planning staff said it's working on a proposal that would allow the trucks but with limited hours and pre-established guidelines. Officials are considering concerns the trucks would take up the already-limited parking available downtown.
For the latest breaking news, weather and traffic alerts, download the WCNC Charlotte mobile app.
Commissioner Mark Tofano told WCNC Charlotte he supports food trucks because they help create a thriving local economy, however, he has concerns about them taking business away from restaurants close by.
"For every dollar that the people spend on food at this food truck is a dollar that they're not spending at a restaurant that is really, literally 200 feet away,” Tofano said.
Food trucks have also been allowed during special events.
The town council is set to vote on the staff's proposal in May.

An online petition has been started in support of allowing the food trucks to return to public roadways. As of the publication of this article Friday, the petition had nearly achieved its goal of 500 signatures.

MATTHEWS, N.C. (WBTV) - The cause of an overnight fire at a restaurant in Matthews remains unknown, officials said.
The fire inside White Duck Taco Shop on East John Street began in the kitchen, the Matthews Fire Department said.
Firefighters said nobody was inside the taco shop, but there was a person inside Yanni’s Bistro, which is in the same building. That person was not injured.
Officials have not yet said how much damage was caused by the fire, but the building will be closed “for the foreseeable future,” according to a sign on the door.
Another sign says the building is deemed unsafe by the Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal’s Office. They are investigating the cause of the fire.

After the new year, fans of The Pizza Peel & Tap Room in Matthews will have to head to Charlotte for a fix. The restaurant location will close Dec. 31 to make way for a new location of The Flying Biscuit Cafe to take over in early 2023.
The Matthews location will be the all-day breakfast restaurant’s third location in the Charlotte area. Biscuit-hungry folks will find the other locations at the Park Road Shopping Center and at Stonecrest in Ballantyne.
Pizza Peel locations will remain open in Plaza Midwood and Cotswold.
After the switch to Flying Biscuit, diners in Matthews will find a menu offering breakfast favorites such as waffles, pancakes, omelets and more, including vegetarian and vegan options. Lunch options are available as well at the Atlanta-based chain, including burgers, salad and sandwiches.
The restaurant won’t change hands, however.
Owner Will Bigham said, “As the owner and operator of the other two locations in Charlotte, I believe that this concept will be a better fit for the Matthews community. The flip will help offer a better quality of life for our teammates and put more money into their pockets.”
