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?

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 Pageland, 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.

Thomas Hogge was presented the Chuck Spangler Outstanding Manufacturing Lifetime Service Award today during the SCMEP Salute to Manufacturing Awards.
The awards luncheon was the capstone event of the annual South Carolina Manufacturing Conference and Expo presented by SC Biz News and the S.C. Manufacturing Extension Partnership, the organization guided for years by the late Spangler.
Hogge is president and owner of Screwmatics of South Carolina Inc., a large manufacturer that provides CNC and screw machine produced component parts to a wide variety of industries, including medical, plumbing, welding, aerospace, power transmission, industrial switch, automotive and electrical.
Hogge credits his management style, which places him more often on the shop floor than in the front office, for creating an atmosphere where emphasis remains on constant improvement of processes, quality assurance and customer service. A former instructor for Florence-Darlington Technical College, Hogge believes it is important to continue education and training; he pushes his team to stay on top of new technologies and processes.
Hogge has guided the company through growth, including the addition of state-of-the art equipment and expansion of the 140,000 square feet of workspace at its Pageland campus, where 140 members of his team work on two shifts.
“Tom Hogge and his company represent the ethic, the creativity and the gumption of the South Carolina manufacturing community,” said Rick Jenkins, group publisher of SC Biz News and director of the manufacturing conference. “It’s appropriate that he has earned the Chuck Spangler award because Chuck dedicated so much of his life to raising the manufacturing industry to higher standards.”
SCMEP plays a key role in the conference, offering training courses to help make manufacturers better.
Andy Carr, who was named president and CEO of SCMEP after Spangler’s death last year, applauded Hogge and the other winners.
“This group of manufacturers — and all of those nominated for these awards — represent an incredible diversity of product, size and geography in South Carolina,” Carr said. “It thrills me to work with these companies, from the large ones like Savannah River Nuclear Solutions and their 6,000 employees down to the small shops creating and making products in every corner of the state.”
Other awards presented during the SCMEP Salute to Manufacturing luncheon included:

PAGELAND, S.C. — More than 20 dogs were rescued from a dog fighting ring and breeding operation that deputies discovered in the Pageland area.
The Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office announced on Monday that one person was arrested in connection with the investigation into the dog fighting.
According to CCSO, animal control officers received a complaint about animal cruelty happening on Smith Lane, just outside of Pageland to the southeast. The sheriff’s office began investigating with the help of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and federal agents.
According to an incident report obtained by Channel 9 reporter Tina Terry, one of the dogs was found roaming the streets.
Deputies said the dog was “acting skittish and acting in an aggressive manner by growling.” The deputy said, “the stray dog was acting like it was going to lunge and try to bite me.”
The investigators went to the property on Feb. 6, and they seized 13 adult dogs and nine puppies. They were taken to the Chesterfield Animal Shelter.
The conditions of the dogs weren’t immediately given. It’s not clear if they’ll be made available for adoption.
“It makes me feel angry because that is not right. It’s not right,” neighbor Demetric Blakeney said.
Blakeney told Channel 9 that she was grateful that law enforcement shut down the dog-fighting ring that wasn’t too far from her daughter’s schools.
“Very grateful that they’re taken away because they’re just like humans,” Blakeney said.
The sheriff’s office says a suspect identified as Derwayne Terry Miller, Sr., was arrested. He’s facing weapons and drug charges, along with animal abuse and neglect charges. Federal charges are also anticipated against Miller.
SLED said it has been cracking down on this kind of activity. In September, the organization said it had seized around 50 pit bulls from York County as part of a massive statewide takedown.
If you have information about any dog fighting in Chesterfield County, the sheriff’s office asks that you call 843-623-2101 or the tip line at 843-287-0235.

Tourism is the main driver of South Carolina’s economy, accounting for about 10 percent of jobs in the state and an estimated annual impact of $29 billion.
The University of South Carolina helps keep this economic engine humming by preparing graduates of the College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management to take on key roles in a variety of businesses and by helping those businesses adapt and grow.
“It’s about getting our students jobs, but it’s also about getting into these businesses and organizations for research then using that research to provide help to the industries,” says Robin DiPietro, director for the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. “We need industry and, in reality, industry needs us to provide great employees and to provide cutting-edge research.”
That dual mission starts with hiring faculty who have the right educational background and the industry experience to provide students with the perfect balance of coursework and out-of-the classroom experiences to learn the business.
“Most of our faculty come from the hospitality and tourism industry. That's where we started,” DiPietro says. “Not only do faculty need the academic credentials, but they need to have some experience in our field, because that's the primary way it will benefit our students.”
USC’s work on both fronts is essential to the industry’s success. But there also is a learning curve, especially for parents who are looking for a return on their investment in their child’s education.
“I think that’s one of our challenges, trying to overcome this ‘burger-flipper’ image that we sometimes have with parents,” says Duane Parrish, director of the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism.
Parrish, a 1981 USC business graduate, has more than 40 years’ experience working in hotels, including when he was a student at USC.
“I graduated in one of the worst times economically,” Parrish recalls of his USC days. “It was ugly in terms of finding a job.
“But I had been working at a Holiday Inn and I really loved it. My general manager took me under his wing and taught me the hotel business,” he says.
Parrish has been an instructor in the College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management and serves on the college’s industry advisory board. His agency hosts HRSM interns every year and several of those interns have started their careers with the state department.
He says part of what the advisory board works on is helping students with that “kitchen table” conversation with their parents — convincing them that hospitality careers are more than waiting tables.
“If your child comes home and says, ‘I want to work in hospitality or in a hotel,’ that's a tougher sell for the child,” he says.
Parrish says hospitality wages are up more than 20 percent since the pandemic.
“I don't believe many at all in our industry are making minimum wage anymore,” he says. “We've come a long way in terms of pay, but we still have that reputation nationally as a ‘burger flipper,’ I'll call it. But we've come a long way from that.”
For 2002 biology graduate Laurie Savidge, it was her parents who suggested a return to school to earn an advanced degree in hospitality.
“My introduction to working in the hospitality industry was at Charleston Place Hotel. And how could you not fall in love with hospitality there?” Savidge says. “My parents gave me the great advice of, ‘You might want to consider continuing your education and learn more about the business of hospitality.’”
So Savidge returned to USC to earn her master’s in 2005 in international hospitality and tourism management.
“That's where I really learned the fundamentals of the business of hospitality,” says Savidge, who is director of operations for Marriott’s Grande Ocean resort in Hilton Head Island.
But it was two visiting professors from Australia that Savidge says laid the groundwork for her interest in corporations’ environmental and social responsibility to the communities they operate in.
To that end, Savidge partners with local purveyors — farmers and fishermen — who provide produce, seafood and other products from areas like the Port Royal Sound for the resort’s guests.
“Marriott International and Marriott Vacation Club have a firm foundation in corporate citizenship and giving back to the community our resorts exist in,” she says. “I've been fortunate to support our organizational sustainability initiatives since the early stages of my career.”
Savidge has also taught hospitality classes at USC Beaufort and some of her students have gone on to be employees with Marriott Vacation Club.
“We provide tours to hospitality students who want to learn more about the business and see a resort, see the front of the house, see the back of the house, and we do a Q&A,” she says.
“When I was teaching introduction to hotel management, I had a student who went on a tour, then he became an hourly associate and now he's one of my managers.
“I love being able to see their careers grow and see how their degrees have helped them be successful leaders.”
Darron Kirkley began his hospitality career at the age of 18, working as an event planner for his hometown Pageland, S.C., Chamber of Commerce. He worked there while he was earning his first degree from USC in math education (2007).
“I just fell in love with the industry,” he says. “I think that's one thing a lot of people don't think about, the necessity of the education and the training behind festivals and events. So that’s sort of where my life changed.”
But getting deeper into the industry without a hospitality degree was not so easy.
“I literally applied for a job straight out of college and my undergrad wasn't in hospitality and tourism, and I was told point blank that I didn't get the job because I didn't have the degree,” Kirkley says. “The industry experience mattered, but there are definitely those employers out there that value education.”
Kirkley returned to USC to get his master’s in international hospitality and tourism management and later a second master’s in sport and entertainment management.
Now Kirkley serves as Chesterfield County’s tourism coordinator, where he is responsible for sales, marketing, advertising, social media and all other aspects of getting people to come to a destination.
He says working while he was in class helped him make the connection between what he was learning and how it applied in the real world.
“I then could instantly go and apply those strategies, theories, those future trends, future topics that we were taught in class and see that actually happening in real life, which was definitely unique,” he says. “But it goes back the other way, too. In class as we had those discussions, I could bring in those real-life experiences of what the industry was facing.”
Kirkley also gets to put his undergraduate degree to use as a teacher — by day at Central High School, where he teaches a hospitality class, and by night, as an instructor in the College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management.
“I serve on multiple committees and boards that are tourism-related, so when our students come out, they are very well versed in what the current trends are, what's going on, what the state is experiencing,” he says. “I think that has made a huge difference for our students having those connections.”
Those industry connections don’t just help the students, but they help professors and researchers in the college learn even more about the industry.
One such USC research project is funded by the Economic Development Association to create an online training tool for the post-COVID hospitality industry.
“It's through our industry connections that we are able to collect surveys or collect data that helps enhance our research,” DiPietro says.
“We really need those industry connections for student success, which is No. 1, to get them jobs, then secondarily, getting relevant research data and being able to provide it back to industry partners.”

All Star Health & Wellness, a new private medical practice on South Pearl Street in Pageland, offers a mix of medical and cosmetic care.
Jessica Brubeck, owner and nurse practitioner, started her own business to focus more on her patients, giving them personalized care.
“I want my patients to have the best medical experience and feel comfortable with their care,” Brubeck said. “I focus on personalized care and take adequate time with all of my patients.”
Brubeck, a 2000 Central High graduate, worked for 12 years as a registered nurse at Springs Memorial Hospital in Lancaster, now Medical University of South Carolina.
She also provides care for residents of Springhill Assisted Living on an as-needed basis. She has also worked in urgent care and family practice settings.
Her private practice offers minor acute care, Department of Transportation physicals, sports physicals, mild primary care, and prescription service. She treats patients ages six months and older.
Brubeck will do telemedicine visits for patients who live within the state. Out-of-state patients will have to come into the office, she said.
Cosmetic care includes Botox, lip injections, IV nutrition hydration (a vitamin in a bag), weight loss programs, micro-needling for people who do not want injections, and hair growth promotion.
Brubeck’s prices for minor acute and sick visits are $50 a visit. Department of Transportion physicals are $75.
Cosmetic care costs vary depending upon the services provided.
The business does not take insurance. Methods of payment include HSA cards, debit/credit cards, and cash.
Brubeck earned certification as a registered nurse at Georgetown Technical College in 2006. She was certified as a nurse practitioner through Walden University in 2016.
Brubeck and her husband, Scott, live in Jefferson. They have three children, Chance, Waylon and Marlee.
