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.

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.

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 Pineville, 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.

Less than a year after making its Charlotte debut in South Park, a French-Asian bakery is opening its second location in Pineville.
Tous les Jours opened Friday inside Super G Mart at 10500 Centrum Parkway. In May, franchise owner Chulho Chang of Charlotte, who grew up in South Korea, opened the first bakery and cafe at 4625 Piedmont Row Drive in Charlotte.
Tous les Jours is known for breads, pastries and signature Cloud Cake — a fluffy whipped cream and sponge cake concoction.
While the 3,500-square-foot, two-floor South Park has cafe seating and a bigger focus on pastries, the new 1,200-square-foot bakery is to-go and will have a larger selection of Asian breads, Chang said.
Baking will be done on-site, Chang said. Each location has four bakers, three cake makers and about seven part-time employees. Bakery hours are 10 a.m.-9 p.m. daily.
Tous les Jours, a California-based bakery founded in 2004, has 70 stores in the U.S. and over 1,650 worldwide, according to the company’s website. One other North Carolina store is in Cary.
Tous les Jours is the first tenant to open at the family-owned Super G Mart international grocery store that opened in December.
It’s the third and largest Super G Mart at the 108,000 square foot, with plans to include a food hall, 2,800-square-foot full-service restaurant, retail and a community center.
The bakery opening is another step toward achieving the goal of becoming a cultural hub, Peter Han, company vice president of business development, said.
“Seeing the excitement from the community reassures we’re headed in the right direction,” Han said.
Han expects the bakery could give morning weekday sales a boost too.
The food hall will have about 12 tenants and is expected to open by summer. Han said the locally-owned vendor openings have been delayed, mostly because of construction costs.
Once at least seven tenants are ready, the food hall will open, he said.
Super G Mart has two other locations in Greensboro and at 7323 E. Independence Blvd. in Charlotte. Both stores are about half the size of the Pineville location.
Super G Mart was founded in 2008, and the Han family took ownership of it four years later. Super G Mart CEO is Irene Han, Han’s mother, and his brother, Paul Han, is general manager.
Chang said he’s looking forward to being a part of community events at the supermarket, such as cooking classes.
He also has plans to open up to three more Tous les Jours locations in the region over several years, possibly north of Charlotte in Huntersville, Mooresville or Concord, and in South Carolina in the Fort Mill or Rock Hill areas.

Margaux’s owner Kevin Devanney will host a grand opening at The Garrison: A Cocktail Bar & Restaurant on Friday, Sept. 30, in Pineville.
The two-story restaurant is housed in an endearing building that’s more than 100 years old. Along with dining room options on two levels, there is a full-service classic cocktail bar and indoor and outdoor seating. Upstairs also features a small bar and space for private events, comedy nights, live music and more.
The space was previously occupied by Global Restaurant & Bar, which moved from its original Ballantyne location of almost a decade to downtown Pineville in 2016. After 16 years in business, the restaurant closed in April.
“When [the previous owner] decided to move on, we had the vision to move next door and create another concept for Pineville,” Devanney told CharlotteFive over the summer.
Devanney opened Margaux’s Wine, Pizza & Market in Pineville in March 2021 to rave reviews from the community. Since inception, Margaux’s has offered an extensive collection of old world wines, St. Louis-style pizza and unique market items.
“Margaux’s is fantastic. It has wine, beer and pizza,” Devanney said. “We feel like Pineville needed a little bit more, so really knowing that Pineville needed more of a full-service restaurant drove me to purchase the building next door and establish a restaurant.”
While these three aspects have become synonymous with Margaux’s, it’s the experience, the homey feel and overall atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
Devanney’s hope is that the same vibe will carry over next door to The Garrison, which has a name with a meaning that’s twofold. The garrison and a garrison is a fortress for an army, a military base for a gathering of a military, so it’s a strong name, Devanney said. It’s also the name of the pub in Birmingham, England that the Netflix show “Peaky Blinders” takes after.
The Garrison is not an Irish pub or an Irish bar, however. It is, very distinctly, a restaurant owned by an Irish man.
Instead of an Irish pub experience, guests will dine in a casual atmosphere — with a little bling from the chandeliers — and enjoy handcrafted food, live music and more.
“I want people to be able to come in three days a week,” he said. “They come in and sit at the bar one evening to have some chicken wings. The next day, they come in with their kids to have sandwiches. Then, Friday night they come back and have a ribeye.”
The Garrison has a diversified menu of items that will highlight the state’s purveyors and farmers and utilize local ingredients. Guests can expect innovative and specialty dishes from the mind of chef Logan Wright — former executive chef at The Club at Longview.
“We really are going to try to be a little bit of everything because Pineville and the surrounding communities need a really comfortable place to go, that they can get a burger and fries, chicken wings or a filet,” Devanney said. “We want to be able to do that here.”
Signature dinner items:
Other menu items:
“We’re not going to put a big twist on anything,” he said. “We’re not going to try to go over the top with seasonings and recipes. We want basic good food, but at the same time we want to create an atmosphere where people feel like they’re welcomed.”
The space is also the home to Pineville’s first cocktail bar. It features a 20-drink cocktail menu that draws inspiration from around the world.
The historic downtown Pineville that visitors experience today differs from what it was 15 years ago when Devanney decided to bring his travel business to town. As a travel industry veteran, he specializes in hospitality and is a visionary when it comes to transforming old buildings, renovating them — while keeping some of the historic charm — and making them new.
Devanney owns five buildings in the area and has renovated those five buildings. “Pineville is one of the most up-and-coming communities really in all of Charlotte,” Devanney said.
As Pineville experiences growth, garnering more residents has the potential to subsequently further the growth of local small businesses.
“We’re growing — There’s a lot of residences coming down here, a lot of building taking place in Pineville,” he said, citing upcoming construction on an apartment complex behind the building. “What we see now and the growth that we’ve seen so far has been great, but what’s about to take place is even greater. We’re really excited about that.”
With the addition of Margaux’s and now The Garrison, downtown Pineville has a different vibe these days. “I think people look to me and look to this side of the street and really are kind of in awe of what it’s become from 15 years ago to what it is now and not only because of what I’ve created because of what’s going on down here. Other businesses have come in and now other businesses are becoming successful,” Devanney said.
Location: 314 Main St., Pineville, NC 28134
Hours: Open Tuesday and Wednesday from 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m., Thursday through Saturday 11:30 a.m.-12 a.m., Sunday for brunch from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and closed on Monday.

Cvent Holding Corp. has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of private equity funds managed by Blackstone in a transaction valued at an enterprise value of approximately $4.6 billion. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority will be a significant minority investor alongside Blackstone as part of the transaction.
Cvent has approximately 22,000 customers globally in the hospitality, corporate, non-profit and higher education sectors as of Dec. 31. Since its founding in 1999, Cvent has helped manage more than 5 million events and lists over 302,000 hotels and venues as of Dec. 31, on the Cvent Supplier Network, an online platform with tools to search, negotiate and contract with hotels and venues for event space.
“We are excited to share this announcement and look forward to our next chapter alongside the Blackstone team,” Cvent Founder and CEO Reggie Aggarwal said in a statement. “As one of the world’s largest private equity firms, Blackstone brings deep expertise in the event and hospitality industry, and with their backing, we plan to continue to invest in our business and deliver the innovative solutions that meet our customers’ needs and power the meetings and events ecosystem.”
In connection with the transaction, Vista Equity Partners, an investment firm focused exclusively on enterprise software, data and technology-enabled businesses, and majority stockholder of Cvent, has agreed to invest a portion of its proceeds as non-convertible preferred stock in financing for the transaction.
“Since Vista first invested, Cvent has undertaken considerable business transformation and has been a testament to how we partner with founders like Reggie to help their businesses scale and thrive,” said Monti Saroya, chairman of the Cvent board of directors, co-head of the Vista Flagship Fund and senior managing drector. “The newly digitized events landscape, coupled with Cvent’s strong existing customer base and commitment to innovation, has provided a new growth vector in a post-COVID world. We look forward to seeing the company continue to execute on the opportunities ahead of it.”
Following the recommendation of a special committee composed entirely of independent and disinterested directors, the Cvent board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement. The transaction is expected to close mid-year 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of approval by Cvent’s stockholders and required regulatory approvals. Upon completion of the transaction, Cvent’s common stock will no longer be publicly listed, and Cvent will become a privately held company.
Blackstone has received a fully committed $1 billion credit facility as part of the financing of this transaction.
Qatalyst Partners is acting as financial advisor to Cvent, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP is acting as legal counsel to Cvent. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as financial advisor to the Special Committee, and Goodwin Procter LLP is acting as legal counsel to the Special Committee. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is acting as legal counsel to Blackstone, and Evercore, Morgan Stanley & Co. and UBS are acting as financial advisors to Blackstone.

The Mecklenburg County Office of Economic Development has partnered with Elnik Systems, the only furnace supplier that is focused on the debind/sinter technology for Metal Injection Molding (MIM), to announce the company's plan to build a new, state of the art industrial facility in Pineville.
Elnik Systems is leasing 52,417 square feet in a 202,000 square foot facility that will will house world-class production equipment and serve as a training site, bringing 55 new jobs to the area with an average salary of $63,636. Elnik officials cited Mecklenburg County's excellent quality of life and access to a high-quality labor market as major factors in the company's decision.
Elnik Systems is a family-owned business established in Germany in 1969. In 1999, Elnik moved operations to New Jersey and began to standardize its MIM furnace line. The move to Pineville will allow Elnik to expand production and continue the manufacturing of the most advanced MIM furnaces and debinding ovens in the world for one-step debinding and sintering processes. The company will support area STEM programs, technical schools and universities by offering process engineering and metallurgy training and education.
"We see Mecklenburg County as a place where our business will benefit from locating in a business-friendly environment with a skilled labor force," said Elnik Systems president Stefan Joens. "We are positioning the company for strong growth and the right location is a major part of that strategy."
"Keeping Mecklenburg County's economy heathy depends on our ability to attract and support companies large and small," said Mecklenburg County Commission Chairman George Dunlap. "We welcome Elnik Systems to our corporate community, and we look forward to helping them build a strong future here while providing jobs to our citizens."
This project was a collaborative effort between Mecklenburg County and the City of Pineville. Construction is under construction with an opening slated for early this summer.
Office of Economic Development The mission of the Mecklenburg County Office of Economic Development is to provide resources to the business community with the purpose of attracting, retaining, and expanding employment opportunities for County residents. We strive to stimulate the local economy and expand the local sales and property tax base, while maintaining a positive balance between growth, social equity and the economy.
