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.

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 Walterboro, 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.

In the early 70s, girls wore bikinis. Only old women wore one piece bathing suits, at least that’s what I thought as a young teen. So as a teenaged girl, I was determined to wear a bikini.Unfortunately, I was cursed with a little poochy tummy (inherited from my Scottish heifer clan), so I had to have a swimsuit bottom that was raised a little nearer to my belly button than most.

In the early 70s, girls wore bikinis. Only old women wore one piece bathing suits, at least that’s what I thought as a young teen. So as a teenaged girl, I was determined to wear a bikini.
Unfortunately, I was cursed with a little poochy tummy (inherited from my Scottish heifer clan), so I had to have a swimsuit bottom that was raised a little nearer to my belly button than most. It was humiliating, so I usually wore a t-shirt over my bathing suit.
Anyway, I despised wearing a swimsuit around other teens and was in a panic when I found out that our church youth were going to a local swimming hole. It was really a glorified pond.
A few days before the excursion, my friend Carla asked me to go bike riding with her. Carla was everything I wasn’t…blonde, blue-eyed, a year older than me, and the proud owner of a goddess’ body at the age of 15. I desperately wanted to look just like her. No, truthfully, I wanted to be her.
She was my first friend at church when we moved to Sumter from Pennsylvania. I grew to admire her and appreciate her friendship, and the day we went bike riding, we stopped at her house for a drink to cool off. As we talked about the upcoming swimming event, Carla frowned and showed me the bathing suit her father was forcing her to wear. Since it was a church function, she wasn’t allowed to wear a bikini. She had to wear this new suit, and she wasn’t at all happy about it.
I immediately broke the 10th Commandment. I coveted that suit. In today’s fashion verbiage, we would call it a tankini. But back then…it was just different.
Made out of blue denim, it had a bikini bottom, but the top looked like a tank top with skinny straps. It had a giant white zipper up the front, and two small red bandana pockets. It was adorable. I wanted it. It was perfect to hide my body faults. And it just wasn’t fair. Carla would look great in anything, but she could easily wear a bikini without being self-conscoius. As for me, I felt my choices were so limited. Nope. It just wasn’t fair.
Hesitantly, I asked Carla where her mother purchased the suit. She told me, and I begged her to let me buy one just like it.
Now, to help men understand this, you must know that what I asked just isn’t done. Every woman wants to wear something to make everyone else jealous or envious. Women want others to admire their apparel, and they want to make a fashion statement by being unique. So to ask if I could get a suit just like hers would be like finding a company that makes cheap Superbowl rings and everybody wearing one. It just isn’t done.
But I have to hand it to Carla. She was so great about it. She shrugged, said “Sure”, and I immediately went home to beg and plead for my mother to buy me that suit.
After much cajoling, and my parents’ generously rearranging funds and probably postponing paying a bill or two (Thanks Mom and Dad!), my mother bought me that suit. For the first time in my life, I wasn’t self-conscious. I couldn’t wait to go swimming.
At the pond, I was proudly wearing my suit…and Carla was wearing an identical one. She was so gracious and wasn’t bothered at all.
Excited, I saw an empty inner tube floating nearby, so I ran and jumped in the water, landing on top of the tube. That’s when I felt it…a strange “pop” on my chest.
Climbing off the inner tube, I looked down, and there it was…my zipper had come apart…IN THE MIDDLE!
Horrified, I yelled for Carla, and she helped me up the ladder, out of the water and into a changing room. Together we worked and worked, but we couldn’t get the zipper down to try and re-zip it. Finally, Carla managed to find a safety pin which I used to hold the top together in the middle, and I wore a t-shirt over my suit. Back to square one.
I never could fix that suit; it ended up being thrown away. And I never truly appreciated the sacrifice Carla made by letting me buy a suit just like hers, but I do now. She was a true friend.
Thanks, Carla, for being so nice to an awkward young girl, and congratulations on beating cancer. I am proud to know you.

A few weeks ago, I took up for the city of Walterboro, South Carolina after its leaders got some grief over their preparations for ‘Murdaughpalooza’ – a.k.a. the double homicide trial of accused killer Alex Murdaugh.
In case you missed that report, a vocal minority covering this trial are apparently upset with Walterboro’s leaders for wanting to provide the throng of people descending upon their city over the next few weeks with additional dining options (including food trucks).
The horror, right?
Imagine people needing to eat …
In rebuking these critics, I noted how our trial producer Ashleigh Messervy (whom you can read more about in this post) had been busy working up several segments for a report on how Walterboro – a.k.a. the “Front Porch of the Lowcountry” – was preparing for the ‘Murdaughpalooza’ influx.
Messervy sat down with Colleton County clerk of court Becky Hill and city tourism and downtown development director Scott Grooms – the “Murdaughpalooza’ organizers – to hear more about their plans for hosting an O.J. Simpson-sized trial in a town of less than 6,000 people.
For months, Hill and Grooms have been working around-the-clock on multiple fronts to make sure both the city and the courthouse were ready for the deluge – and to ensure everyone flocking to Walterboro to catch a glimpse of these historic proceedings knew what to expect.
It has been a Herculean task – a definitional logistical nightmare – but Hill, Grooms and countless other city, court and law enforcement partners working with them have proven themselves more than equal to the task.
Here is Messervy’s report on their preparations for South Carolina’s “trial of the century …”

One of the most important questions we ask folks who are looking to buy a restaurant is, “What kind of concept are you planning?” Some people don’t have a firm idea yet and are simply looking through our listings, gathering ideas and fueling their dream. But when ideas start to coalesce with types of food, style of ambience, and a workable budget, a concept takes shape. Finalizing essential details like location, size, and improvements come with the search for just the right space. Before you know it, your sign is up, the doors are open, and customers are posting rave reviews with their selfies.
Ownership Options: Franchise or Independent
Two ownership options in the restaurant industry easily direct your preliminary concept considerations: franchise versus independent. Concepts crystallize faster if you’re a franchise-minded entrepreneur; though opportunities vary greatly in food and style, you won’t need to decide things like the theme or menu. Conversely, independents maintain full control over creativity, resulting in concepts as unique as the individual owners.
Franchises come with a proven concept formula, brand recognition, training, and support network. Franchisees pay for such benefits through royalty (and often marketing) fees, established as a percent of gross sales. Up-front costs to start a new franchise can total hundreds of thousands of dollars, whereas purchasing a franchise re-sale is a frequent ‘short-cut’ into the partnership. One of several caveats to look for is called a refresh — updating your restaurant after it’s been open awhile so it adheres to the franchises new design theme changes. While it does keep your business fresh, it can cost unexpected thousands.
Though franchise owners operate with autonomy, they’re always part of a family-centric model that lends to higher success rates. According to SBDCNet, National Information Clearinghouse of the U.S. Small Business Administration, the first-year franchise survival rate is about 6.3% higher than the survival rate of independent businesses.
Despite the many franchise perks, independent ownership still represents over 50% of all US restaurants, according to the NPD Group’s 2021 ReCount® Survey. Though independents assume full responsibility for all operations, and the risk for failure is slightly higher, the flexibility for decision-making and 100% profit retention are worthy trade-offs.
Concept Choices: Food, Theme, Location and Budget
Location, location, location. It must be right for the concept, fit in the budget, be easily accessible for patrons, and distant from competitors. While it’s obvious a casual café located on a busy pedestrian corner with parking garage across the street will do much better than one on a side street with limited pedestrian traffic, some lessor known location caveats include:
Time requirements: A mandated 11pm close isn’t ideal for a boisterous bar.
Lease tenure: If the remaining term is less than 2 years, consider having your broker negotiate a new lease rather than you assuming the existing — otherwise you may be forced to relocate, or worse, close down.
New development: The first tenants that lease in a spiffy new building can often secure lower rent but their operating budget must also sustain waiting longer for patrons to discover their newly developed location.
Size: Even when the location is perfect, if the space is too large for your concept, sales may not cover the higher rent. Similarly, a space that is too small can jam the kitchen and frustrate customers waiting too long for the too few available tables.
Don’t let these basics overwhelm you. You’re embarking on a fantastic journey that can lead to the most satisfying years of your life! The more you understand your choices, the more confidently you can embark on your dream.
Know Yourself, Know Your Audience.
Be honest with yourself over some basic questions early in the process; it will simplify your search for the right space and lend greater success to your new restaurant!
How well do you work with others? Are you comfortable as a group leader or do you prefer an independent work style? Only you know if you’re happier creating culinary masterpieces in a kitchen with a sous chef, prep staff, and expediter, or if engaging with customers, managing the dining room, and assisting wait staff is more your forte. It’s also important to acknowledge your strengths, and weaknesses: are you tech-savvy enough to operate modern POS systems, or is pencil and paper still your go-to?
Once you’ve narrowed things for your initial concept choice, it’s critical to know what type of customer you want to serve. Blue collar workers hungry for meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and gravy, or young professionals seeking seared ahi over quinoa and greens? A new mother grabbing a morning snack and chai latte after yoga, or couples on a date who want wings, burgers and beer?
Traditional Concept Styles
Restaurant styles are nearly as varied as the ingredients that comprise its dishes. Traditional concepts are simpler to pinpoint than 21st century restauranteurs’ amorphous styles. Such modern-day owners are answering to a vast, growing audience: foodies with adventurous taste buds ripe for international flavors and eclectic dishes. An equally tall order is the trend of diners seeking locally and regionally sourced food that result in shorter, more transparent supply chains. Think community gardens, sustainable seafood, and clean eating.
No matter whether you dream of a mom-and-pop style diner or art gallery-esque theme serving seasonal Middle Eastern street foods, here are some basic concepts to get you started:
Fast Food (also known as Quick Service Restaurants, or QSR): convenient and affordable for customers, offering food to be eaten on the go; limited ingredients lend to higher quality control for the owner; easiest to maintain a low but reasonable profit margin; most suitable to burgers, subs, fried chicken, tacos, fries, limited desserts; alcohol rarely served.
Café: primarily light fare with extensive alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages; think wine bar with tapas, or coffee house with savory and sweet options; profits tend to be higher than concepts with complicated food prep; minimal décor; fewer staff.
Casual: fairly quick but with sit-down table service; informal and friendly atmosphere; theme contributes to overall dining experience; may include combination counter-service and wait-staff ordering; higher prices than QSR thus greater profit potential; suitable for all types of cuisine; alcohol usually served and a significant profit contributor; can become a destination for celebrations and larger gatherings, lending to higher profits from alcohol and dessert orders.
Fine Dining: formal ambience and highly attentive service; exceptional cuisine with artistic plating; rarer food selections and combinations; often multi-course Prix Fixe menus with optional wine pairings; patrons come for the experience as well as the tastes — they want to ‘see and be seen’; potential for elevated reputation, premium ratings, and high profits.
Bar / Lounge: intentionally established for socializing with focus on alcohol; food varies from light fare and small plates to broader menu with specialties and easy-to-eat entrees; sports taverns present a modern-twist and exceptional opportunity to foster community loyalty; smaller spaces hold potential for quick-serve foods not requiring vent-hoods like charcuterie and canned specialties.
Now that you know more about restaurant concepts and have made a few preliminary decisions, it’s time to go shopping. The Certified Restaurant Brokers at We Sell Restaurants are highly trained to help you navigate the varied listings, negotiate an offer, assist through Due Diligence, lending, franchise application and training if applicable, and close on the deal. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of watching your sign go up, preparing for your opening night, and seeing folks enjoy your concept, yes, YOUR concept!

World-Class Professional Bull Riding (PBR) returns to North Charleston, South Carolina, Feb. 3-4. Interviews available with defending Event Champion Michael Lane.
For the fifth time in history, PBR’s Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour will buck into North Charleston, returning to the North Charleston Coliseum on Feb. 3-4 with the PBR Collision at The Coliseum.
For two nights only, some of the best bull riders in the world will battle the sport’s rankest bovine athletes in the ultimate showdown of “man vs. beast” in one of the most exciting live sporting events to witness.
As one of the initial events of the regular-season, fans will watch on as some of the sport’s newest up-and-coming talent goes head-to-head against established stars vying for crucial points to return to the sport’s top tour.
Among the contenders hoping for great success in The Palmetto State is veteran rider and defending “Collision at The Coliseum” event winner Michael Lane.
Beginning his career as a youngster riding his siblings’ show sheep, Michael Lane has since become one of the world’s top professional bull riders.
As the winningest bull rider on the PBR’s Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour, in 2021 Lane appeared to be poised to be crowned the tour’s year-end champion until injury struck.
Winning two events throughout the regular season in both Wichita, Kansas, and Bangor, Maine, Lane was ranked number one in the tour standings ahead of the two-day “Velocity Tour Finals” in Las Vegas. Lane, however, was unable to compete, sidelined by a broken thumb. Unable to challenge for the title, Lane finished runner-up to Champion Adriano Salgado by a mere 26.5 points.
In 2022, despite a strong start to the season, winning the “Velocity Tour” event in North Charleston, Lane fell short of his first “Velocity Tour Championship” and a berth to the prestigious “PBR World Finals.”
Eager to reverse his fortunes in 2023, determined to be crowned by the “PBR Velocity Tour Champion” and return to the prestigious “PBR World Finals” for the fourth time in his career, Lane is ready to take North Charleston by storm.
