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.

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 Richburg, 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.

The Richburg family is honored to celebrate the 100th birthday of patriarch Stonewall McKinney Richburg on Saturday, August 14 at Spring Valley High School. Festivities begin with a birthday drive-by at 10 a.m. and conclude with a proclamation from Richland County Council, a presentation of the Centenarian Award from the Office of Governor Henry McMaster, and anticipated remarks from Steve Benjamin, Mayor of the City of Columbia.
Stonewall McKinney Richburg was born in Tuskegee, Alabama on August 14, 1921. Richburg began serving his country upon induction into the United States Army in 1943. His first assignment was to the Columbia (SC) Army Air Base. In 1945, he completed the Army Engineer Officer Candidate School, where he was among the top ten of 91 graduates (and the only African-American) from a class of 334 candidates. He served in the Philippines during World War II from 1945-1946 and in the Korean conflict from 1951-1952. Richburg retired from the military in 1961 as Captain in the Army Reserve Corps of Engineers.
While serving in the Army, Richburg made Columbia his home and began his career as an educator in 1946. While attending church service with his future wife and her family, Richburg was introduced to Mr. C. A. Johnson, then Supervisor of Negro Schools. Shortly thereafter, Johnson offered Richburg a position at Booker T. Washington High School (“BTWHS”), a segregated school in Columbia, as its first teacher of mechanical drawing and blueprint reading. Richburg became principal of BTWHS in 1965. His seven years as principal included the beginning of desegregation and the start of the integration of Richland County schools. Public school desegregation in the state and the expansion of the University of South Carolina led to the closing of BTWHS in 1974. At that time, Richburg began working at the school district office.
Richburg retired from education in 1983, after 37 years of service in Columbia and Richland County School District One. Following his retirement, he continued to work for the district as a substitute for administrators and maintained his membership in the National Education Association, the South Carolina Education Association, the Richland County Education Association, and other professional education organizations including Phi Delta Kappa. In 2011, Richburg was one of six inductees into the district’s Hall of Fame, the highest honor bestowed upon individuals by the district’s Board of School Commissioners.
Richburg maintains membership in several organizations, to include the Booker T. Washington High School Foundation and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated. He is featured in the University of South Carolina Museum of Education’s “So Their Voices Will Never Be Forgotten” exhibition. Richburg visited the university to discuss the struggle for civil rights and the desegregation of schools in Columbia with students pursuing careers in education. Richburg is an alumnus of Columbia’s Alpha Iota Boulé of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity— the oldest African-American Greekletter fraternity.
Richburg, who is affectionately called “Stoney,” was blessed with 71 years of marriage to the late Geneva Smith, a Columbia native. Together, they share four children, eight grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren —many of whom will be participating in the birthday drive-by in Columbia to commemorate this milestone birthday and legacy.

He’d eventually cast the only vote in favor of it, but with more than 800 homes at stake, and likely just as many opinions on whether they should be built, Joe Branham wasn’t sold either.
“I go at this thing with mixed emotions on it,” said the Chester County Council member. “I understand both sides of it. About all we can do is take a vote on it.”
That vote, a 3-1 decision on March 19, means Chester County won’t rezone property to more than double how many residences LGI Homes can build on almost 250 acres in Richburg. The builder had planned the community just off I-77 on Edgeland Road, near the Giti Tire facility.
Councilman Brad Jordan didn’t change his stance throughout the months-long rezoning process. He couldn’t get past the density change.
“Those concerns have not been alleviated,” he said. “I want to see growth in Chester County. But I want to see growth that is appropriate for what we can handle.”
He pointed to a recent fire in Sun City, a retirement community in Lancaster County where homes are much closer than they typically are in Chester County. Jordan said he was told a cigarette butt started that fire. While he didn’t change his mind, Councilman Archie Lucas did.
“I very seldom change my vote,” he said. “I’m pretty well bull-headed when I set my head, why and how I’m going to look at things. But in this issue, I will have to change my vote.”
Lucas thought about a trip for his great-grandsons’ birthday party in the Charleston area. The community there, he said, is similar to what LGI proposed for Chester County.
“They don’t have enough room between homes -- not apartments, homes -- to park automobiles,” Lucas said. “Now that’s a little radical.”
Lucas knows the new homes would be “a lot of money and a lot of taxes.” They also would mean more traffic, need for public services.
“I don’t want to put that on our Chester County residents,” Lucas said.
Shane Stuart, county administrator, reminded council members that housing is a big piece of its approved strategic plan. As Giti and others look to add jobs, people need a place to live, he said.
Branham had the same thought before voting in favor of the zoning change.
“There’s several more developments that’s in the planning stage now to come down,” he said. “And what are we going to do? I know housing is a very big concern.”
Despite many “half-truths” throughout the discussion, Branham said he understands there are valid concerns with adding so many new homes in a largely rural area.
“It’s been several issues brought up about safety, fire, water, sewer, ingress, egress, more than one entrance to the thing,” he said “Buffers between one property to another.”
Councilman Pete Wilson said concessions have been made by the homebuilder.
“Not enough,” he said. “This is an extremely large development for this piece of land. And when you look at the shape of the property, it’s unfortunate because there’s a long, narrow stretch where all these houses would be built.”
Wilson often compared what neighboring York County is doing to handle growth, looking at growth standards, impact fees, utility impacts. Wilson said he wants Chester County to find answers to its growth issues on the front end, rather than having to react to them.
“I’m just not convinced that this is a safe plan. If this doesn’t pass, something else will,” he said. “And we have an opportunity in Chester County to do it the right way.”

By Clint Confehr
NASHVILLE, TN — Ethel Richburg, now residing in the Haynes Manor Community with her daughter, Kenne’ Shute, “turned 108 years young” Sept. 5, their neighbor, Blondell Strong, has reported.
Richburg has lived nearly twice as long as a woman’s 56-year life expectancy in 1912 when Woodrow Wilson defeated President William Howard Taft, Teddy Roosevelt and Eugene Debs. When Richburg was called that Saturday afternoon, Shute spoke for her. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, they had no visitors.
“She has been satisfied with that,” said Shute, 85.
How’d Richburg live so long? “‘By being a good girl,’” Shute replied for her mother.
Love is another reason, according to the woman from Manning, SC. Richburg taught elementary school for 40 years. Shute said, “When we go back to Manning, her former students come to visit at our house and we have dinner.”
“She’s been with me (on and off) for 20 years. We go back and forth to South Carolina.”
Richburg was the youngest of 10 children. She earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, S.C. Her education started earlier.
“When her sister [the second youngest of the 10, who also lived more than 100 years] came home from school, she got a switch stick (because teachers always had a switch to make students behave) and taught her what she had learned in school that day,”said Shute, whose aunt was so successful that when her younger sister entered school, she already knew what was being taught, so she was promoted early, much to the dismay of her sister who then realized her student was a classmate, seen as her equal.
At age 45, “She was teaching,” Shute said. Asked about 45, Shute replied, “She thinks he’s crazy.”
Barack Obama is her favorite president. “When she had her 100th birthday, the president and Michelle sent her two birthday letters,” Shute said. The event was posted on the Internet. “In a short while, she has more than 1,000 likes.”
Shute said there are five things “her mother always told her.” They are: always trust God; honor your parents; treat people the way you’d want to be treated; give of what little you have to the Lord, the children and your family; and that she “didn’t have a man to worry her to death.”
“‘But I was married to one for 19 months,’” Shute said, quoting her mother. That was “long enough for her to have me.” Shute is an only one child.
“When I was three months old, he decided to go to New York City to seek his fortune,” Shute continued. “Then he contacted her saying, ‘Take your baby to your momma and gather all your money and come up here.’ She took her baby to her parents.” Richburg stayed in Manning. “That was the end of that mess.”
As for whether she lived longer without a husband, Shute said, “That’s the part she laughs about all the time.”
It’s one thing Shute sees in her mother as a regret. “She thought she’d have a better life.”
Richburg’s advice to young couples: “‘Have more than one child. One will wear them out. Another will help out.’ The 10 of them were happy in a loving family. She is the only one left of her generation on both sides of her family.”
