Circuit Breakers

Tripped Circuit Breakers

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.

Flickering Lights

Flickering Lights

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

Dead Power Outlets

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.

Residential Electrician vs. Commercial Electrician in York:
What's the Difference?

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.

New population figures for this region show one county among the fastest growing in the state, one punching above its weight class and another losing people.

On Thursday the U.S. Census Bureau released new estimates for states and counties nationwide. Estimates for smaller areas like cities and towns should follow in May.

The latest figures are population estimates as of mid-2022. South Carolina is up to more than 5.28 million residents. An estimated increase of 1.7%, or more than 89,000 new residents, in a year.

York and Lancaster counties are a significant part of that increase.

Scroll through this sortable chart to compare one- and two-year growth rates throughout South Carolina.

York County had an estimated 294,248 residents last year. That figure is seventh most among South Carolina counties. There were an estimated 12,158 more people last year than at the 2020 Census, an increase of 4.31%.

That two-year growth rate is eighth highest in the state and the total population increase is fifth highest.

From 2021 to 2022, York County grew by an estimated 4,993 people for a 1.73% rate. It’s the fifth highest total increase statewide and 10th highest growth rate.

Want to see 150 years of York County population change in less than a minute?

Lancaster County is No. 15 in total estimated population, with 104,577 people as of last year. Lancaster County was No. 16 in population in 2020. Where Lancaster County stands out, though, is in growth rate.

At an 8.92% growth rate the past two years, Lancaster County ranks third statewide behind only Jasper and Horry counties.

Lancaster County has more than three times the people Jasper does, and a little more than a quarter the people Horry has. Lancaster County has more than double the two-year growth rate of York County, which is eighth highest statewide.

The 8,561 new Lancaster County residents is No. 9 statewide despite all but one other county in that top 10 having more than five times as many total people. Lancaster County is the smallest in the top 10 (by more than 90,000 people) for total population increase.

Power outages in York, Chester and Lancaster in windy, cold pre-Christmas winter storm

Thousands of customers were without electrical service Friday afternoon in York, Chester, and Lancaster counties in South Carolina as a winter storm with potentially dangerous cold moved into the area, according to officials and utility providers.

The outages came as the National Weather Service said temperatures Friday night were to drop close to single digits late Friday with wind chills expected to reach zero or below.

Duke Energy reported around 2,000 outages in the three counties after 2 p.m. There were a few hundred outages in York County mainly near Newport between Rock Hill and York, according to the utility’s outage map.

Outages included more than 1,000 in Chester County, and around 800 in mostly northern Lancaster County near the North Carolina border, the utility’s outage map showed.

York Electric Cooperative reported on its outage map just a few scattered outages in the early afternoon Friday.

The utility had restored outage to more than 4,500 customers who had lost power earlier in the York area, and other areas from Lake Wylie south and east through Fort Mill, Tega Cay and south of the city of Rock Hill, according to cooperative officials and the outage map.

The City of Rock Hill utilities department map showed around 150 outages Friday afternoon.

Tens of thousands of others were reported without power in other areas of South Carolina, according to Duke Energy. More than 10,000 were out of power west of Rock Hill near Greenville.

More than 20,000 customers were without power adjacent to York County in the Charlotte region, The Charlotte Observer reported.

The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the area through Friday with gusts expected of 30 MPH or more.

Temperatures are expected to only reach the 30s Friday and around 30 Saturday. Lows are expected Friday night into Saturday to reach near record cold of around 10 degrees.

A wind chill advisory was also issued by the weather service that lasts through Christmas Eve on Saturday. Coupling in wind and the cold, wind chill - what it feels like outside - are expected to be below zero Friday night into Saturday.

Emergency management officials advised people to be mindful of the danger of fallen electrical lines and trees.

Check back for updates.

A new wedding and event venue got a key approval last week.

Fort Mill owner Joe Stamato moved to the area from Maryland about two years ago. Stamato bought property on the north side of S.C. 5 in Catawba, southeast of Rock Hill and not far west of the Catawba River.

Stamato told the county zoning board of appeals Thursday he intends to build an event venue and home on almost 20 acres, where he and his wife will live about 200 feet from the venue.

“I think that’s the difference... I’m not just building something and leaving it out there,” Stamato said. “I will be out there with my wife and we will run the venue.”

Event venues in York County require a special exception from the zoning appeals board. They’re classified by size. The Millstone would be a large event venue able to accommodate weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings, fundraisers and other special events.

Events would run Thursday through Sunday.

It would be closed for cleaning and maintenance on Mondays. Tours and photos would be scheduled the remaining days. The site would be open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. year-round, at three events weekly or about 150 events per year envisioned.

The site would be able to host up to 180 people.

The building would come from Nebraska, where a company designs and builds them for transport.

“It is a farmhouse-inspired building,” said county zoning administrator Rachel Grothe.

The S.C. 5 property is about a quarter mile east of Reservation Road. Rural homes and agricultural areas are nearby.

The venue would be several hundred feet away from the main highway, behind a grove of trees.

“The proposed development will not impact the surrounding traffic network in a negative manner,” Grothe said.

The only concern expressed by the zoning appeals board is one common to event venues.

“It’s always that consideration of noise because they’re always in rural areas, and people move to rural areas because they don’t want noise,” said board member Jeff Blair.

Amplified music in particular was discussed.

“Sound carries at night,” Blair said.

Other board members noted the venue is a significant distance from the nearest homes, several times what the requirement is for allowing event venues with amplified music. Also, board members said, the venue would have the same decibel limits any home or other property would.

One member said event venues are a need in the community.

The 19-acre site recently was carved out of a larger, 80-acre lot. Stamato said he spent more than a year looking for sites. He met with neighbors of the existing and other potential locations to gauge interest.

The zoning board approved the exception needed to allow the new venue.

SC Law Enforcement investigating York County’s money transfer to Tepper companies

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the transfer of money from York County to companies owned by Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper, according to a statement from SLED officials.The investigation was opened in November after a request by the S.C. Attorney Gene...

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the transfer of money from York County to companies owned by Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper, according to a statement from SLED officials.

The investigation was opened in November after a request by the S.C. Attorney General, York County sheriff, and York County’s top prosecutor, officials said.

Late Thursday, SLED sent an emailed statement to The Herald confirming the investigation.

That statement says:

“SLED opened an investigation on November 7, 2022 into the transfer of public funds from York County to GTRE and/or it’s affiliates to include David Tepper, Appaloosa Management, Tepper Sports Holding and DT Sports Holding.

SLED was requested to investigate by York County Sheriff Kevin Tolson, York County Solicitor Kevin Brackett and Attorney General Alan Wilson.

This joint investigation with the York County Sheriff’s Office is ongoing, as such, no additional information is available at this time.”

The SLED statement comes a day after lawyers for Tepper companies and York County stated in court documents that the two sides had reached a settlement in the bankruptcy and related lawsuits.

GTRE, or GT Real Estate, is the company created by Tepper to oversee what would have been the NFL team’s headquarters and practice facility in Rock Hill, S.C. The project failed and resulted in GT Real Estate filing for bankruptcy. There also have been other related lawsuits.

In civil court documents from the GT Real Estate bankruptcy and lawsuits filed by York County, Tepper company lawyers have denied any wrongdoing.

Late Thursday, GT Real Estate issued a written statement to The Herald about the investigation.

The statement raised questions about the timing of the investigation announcement, a day after the settlement was confirmed that would, if approved, end the dispute between GTRE and York County.

GT said in the statement that the proposed settlement would pay York County the $21 million it originally asked for in the bankruptcy, plus interest.

The full GT Real Estate statement says:

It would be unfortunate if the recently announced settlement between GTRE and York County were somehow undermined by politically motivated leaks. The timing of these leaks is all the more curious in light of this settlement.

This is a straightforward commercial matter that is being fully resolved. The underlying disputes arise under contracts that were jointly negotiated by the parties and are publicly available. The funds paid by the County were handled consistent with the terms of those contracts.

The settlement fully compensates York County and settles all its claims related to GTRE’s bankruptcy case. To this end, $21.165 million has been escrowed for months to reimburse the County with interest.

No charges have been filed against anyone or any group and there has been no allegation of wrongdoing, sheriff and solicitor’s office officials said.

While there have been pending civil lawsuits for months during the bankruptcy of GT Real Estate, the SLED statement points to the first law enforcement inquiry associated with the project.

In a joint statement released Thursday night by York County Sheriff Kevin Tolson and 16th Circuit Solicitor Kevin Brackett, both said there should be no inference of any wrongdoing.

Here is the entire statement from Tolson and Brackett:

“An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the transfer to, and subsequent use of public money by the Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper and GTRE, the company created to oversee the construction of the Panthers training facility, was initiated by the York County Sheriff to determine whether any laws were violated during that process. The Attorney General, Solicitor Kevin Brackett’s Office and the State Law Enforcement Division have partnered with us to provide additional resources and assistance and we will work together to ensure that all relevant information is gathered so that a fair and just outcome can be reached.

An investigation is simply an inquiry and should not create any inference that wrongdoing has been committed by any party.

This office will have no further comment on the matter at this time.”

A deal had been struck with South Carolina, York County, and Rock Hill officials to move the team’s headquarters and practice fields to South Carolina.

Construction started on the site but GT halted construction in March. GT declared bankruptcy in June.

Appaloosa Management, Tepper Sports Holding and DT Sports Holding are all Tepper companies, according to Tepper company documents in the ongoing bankruptcy case and ongoing lawsuits related to the bankruptcy case.

In the bankruptcy case and related civil lawsuits, York County alleged it gave GT Real Estate more than $21 million in Pennies for Progress road tax money for the project. The county claimed the money could only be used for road improvements.

York County filed suit demanding the $21 million back, plus interest and money for projected tax revenues that were lost when the project collapsed.

This week, lawyers for York County and lawyers GT Real Estate announced in statements and court documents that a proposed settlement had been reached that would end all civil lawsuits between York County and the Tepper companies. That settlement has not yet been filed in court, nor has it been approved by a judge.

York County had previously filed two civil lawsuits against Tepper companies.

In the first lawsuit filed in June in South Carolina federal court, York County alleged DT Sports Holding, Tepper Sports Holding and Appaloosa Management were engaged in a conspiracy to misappropriate the $21 million. That suit, which called the failed practice site a “vanity project,” named Appaloosa Management LP, DT Sports Holding, Tepper Sports Holding Inc, and the City of Rock Hill as defendants. Tepper is one of the founders of Appaloosa Management.

In that civil lawsuit, York County alleged Tepper’s companies directed misappropriation of $21 million.

Then in September, York County filed a suit against GT Real Estate. In that lawsuit, York County claimed GT “squandered” the $21 million and converted it for “others’ improper use and unjust enrichment.”

Tepper company lawyers filed countersuits against York County in those civil cases and denied York County’s allegations of unjust enrichment and misuse of money.
