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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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. — Residents who live at a Matthews senior apartment community are relocating Saturday night after an apparent water main break tied to freezing temperatures.
Family members reached out to WCNC Charlotte earlier in the evening to share loved ones at the Holiday Willow Grove off Idlewild Road were evacuated from the complex due to flooding. A spokesperson for Holiday by Atria, which manages the community, confirmed further details.
In a statement, the spokesperson said local fire officials advised the evacuation because of the level of flooding. Holiday by Atria has two other communities nearby and said residents would be moved there to ensure they are safe and warm.

Holiday by Atria said it has onsite teams coordinating the transition, and that families have been kept in close contact. The group hopes to have the issue resolved quickly.
A WCNC Charlotte crew saw buses lined up outside of the complex just before 7 p.m.
The full statement follows:
Ensuring the comfort and well-being of everyone who lives and works in our community is our highest priority. At the advice of local fire department officials, we are evacuating our residents at Holiday Willow Grove to two other nearby communities due to a water main breakage resulting in flooding on our property. The preliminary cause of the main break appears to be the freezing temperatures. This evening we are relocating residents and staff to two nearby sister communities, Holiday Carmel Place and Holiday Crescent Heights, to ensure everyone is safe, warm, and comfortable. An onsite team is in place to coordinate a smooth transition this evening and we are in close contact with all families. We are hopeful that we can resolve this issue relatively quickly. We will keep you updated as we learn more.

MATTHEWS, N.C. — Proposed changes to an ordinance could bring more food options to Matthews.
The change would allow food trucks to park downtown on the street instead of on private property.

A local business owner asked for the change in the town’s current ordinance.
The Carolina Beer Temple doesn’t have a parking lot where food trucks can set up and owner wants the town to allow food trucks on public streets with permission from nearby businesses.
Anndei Chasnoff likes to set up her food truck near her family’s home in Matthews.
She’s limited in where she can sell her tea in town limits.
“We have to park on private property. We park in a business parking lot,” said Chasnoff, the owner of The Boba Tea Bar.
Food truck operators must currently park on private property and can’t block public parking spaces.
That could change.
Town leaders are considering changes to Matthew’s food truck ordinance, which would allow food truck operators to park on public streets downtown.
“It would be great because then we wouldn’t just have to be in one spot,” Chasnoff said. “We can move from one place to another. Go where the people are.”
However, people in the area argue that downtown already comes with enough parking challenges.
Joanna Groothuis goes to school in Matthews and thinks the move would add more congestion to the crowded downtown area.
“Having the big old food trucks and people walking around stresses me out,” said Groothius, a student at Central Piedmont Community College -- Levine Campus. “My first thought is kids running out or adults stepping out -- or the food trucks taking up parking spots.”
The town’s planning director says food truck operators would have to follow rules, such as parking in eligible spaces during specific hours and near designated businesses.
Chasnoff thinks it’s a small sacrifice that can make a big difference in her community.
“It can help,” the food truck owner said. “It doesn’t only help us, but I think it has a positive impact on the local economy.”
The planning board will consider the proposal on April 25 then it’s up to the town commission to give it final approval.
