Electricity - it's one of the most important innovations in the history of humankind. It's hard to imagine life without electricity, and for good reason. Nearly every aspect of our lives is affected by electricity in some form or fashion, from the way you wash your clothes to the effort you put in at work. From a residential standpoint, you need it to cook, clean, entertain, and live comfortably. For commercial purposes, electricity is used to power the computers needed to keep America moving.

Panel Breaker is Tripped

If you don't have any power in your home, it might be time to check your electrical panel to see if there are any tripped breakers. If you spot a tripped breaker, try your best to switch it over to its original position. If you can't, remember that some breakers need to be flipped to the "off" position before turning it back on. If you don't have any luck, give our office a call. We'll send a trained residential electrician in Easley to your home to fix the problem on-site.

Overhead Fan Stops Working

If you have an overhead fan in your living room or bedroom, you know how quickly it can accumulate dust. Most homeowners clean up using a rod duster. However, sometimes homeowners accidentally hit the fan direction switch when doing so. But, instead of flipping it "on" or "off," they bump it into a limbo zone where neither direction is selected. When this happens, your overhead fan will not spin. If one of your fans stops working suddenly, this is one of the most common reasons why. If you're sure you didn't hit the fan direction switch, it could be an indication of a larger problem. In this case, call our office for a free phone consultation. We'll troubleshoot with you over the phone and if necessary, send out an electrician.

Kitchen Breaker Keeps Tripping

If your home was built in the last 35 years, chances are it has two 20-amp circuits running to your kitchen countertop outlets. Newer homes will have three circuits. If you're constantly tripping the breaker to your kitchen, it's most likely because you have too many electrical devices connected to the same circuit. To help alleviate this problem, place appliances like coffee makers and toasters on two different circuits. That way, they can share the load.

At the end of the day, your home is your place of solitude and relaxation. But, when you have electrical issues in your home, things can quickly go from peaceful to problematic. Whether you're renovating your home and need a new room wired for power or your panel breaker keeps giving your problems, L&M Electric is here to assist. If you have questions about an issue or need to schedule service, our team is ready to help answer your questions and coordinate the best time for a residential electrician to come to your home in Easley.

Because, at the end of the day, a little knowledge can go a long way when it comes to your family's safety.

 Smart Home Installation Easley, SC

Install Surge Protectors

Intense lighting storms can cause powerful surges of electricity that ruin your home's electrical appliances and amenities. Surge protectors installed at your electrical panel can help prevent these surges by grounding the electricity running through your home. They do so by directing it away from your electrical devices. This common solution is inexpensive, effective, and always a better choice than replacing expensive items like TVs and computers.

 Electrical Repairs Easley, SC

Examine Your Breaker Panel

Breaker panels control the power to your home. When they go bad or are damaged, there's a good chance that you will lose power to most of the rooms in your house. Open your breaker panel and keep a sharp eye out for signs of corrosion and rust. Double-check that each breaker you see flips on and off properly. If you notice corrosion or if the breaker switches won't flip, it's time to get in touch with a residential electrician in Easley, SC, who can inspect your breaker panel and recommend upgrades if necessary.

 Electrical Safety Inspection Company Easley, SC

Test Your GFIs

GFIs, or Ground Fault Interrupters, are similar to surge protectors in that they prevent electrical damage from happening in your home. The primary job of a GFI is to prevent electrical shocks that happen during a ground fault. Because water is a conductor of electricity, GFIs should be installed anywhere that an outlet comes into contact with water. You should try to test your GFIs every month, if possible, to ensure that they are working correctly. When you look closely at your GFI, you will notice a "test" and a "reset" button. Hit the "test" button to trip the GFI outlet and then hit "reset" to restore power. If your outlet resets, your GFI is working as it should. If not, you need to replace your GFI outlet. Because electricity is involved, we recommend hiring a professional to install new GFIs in your home. That way, you know the job is done right.

 Whole Home Electrical Install Easley, SC

Replace Outdated Light Bulbs

The right light bulb can add the perfect amount of ambiance to your home. Eventually, however, even the best light bulbs will need replacing. While they don't need checking every month, it's a good idea to inspect all your bulbs at the beginning of the year. If any of your bulbs are dead, you should replace them. You should also consider replacing bulbs that are incandescent with LED lights. LED light bulbs may cost more upfront but use less electricity and are more efficient over the long run.

Electrical Services Easley, SC

Schedule a Home Safety Inspection

In terms of preventative maintenance, scheduling a safety inspection for your home's electrical systems should be a high priority. These inspections will shine a light on the electrical features in your home that need to be fixed. Most modern electrical fires are caused by short circuit arcs, defective insulation, or broken wiring. An inspection conducted by a qualified electrician will help determine what needs to be fixed so you and your family stay safe in your home. Your inspector should cover your whole home and will examine common features such as:

  • Breakers
  • Fans
  • Exposed Wiring
  • Electrical Panels
  • Circuits
  • Switches
  • Outlets and More

New general store opens in 1893 building in Easley

EASLEY, S.C. —

Hester General Store, a once-vacant general store that has been renovated and restored, will reopen on Dec. 16 as a bakery and mercantile. Owner and proprietor Katie Chaney will be serving up her famous pies, inspired by her grandmother’s recipes, and much more.

“Community is at the core of who we are and what we stand for,” Chaney said. “We are here to create magic moments and give people a place to gather together.”

The original Hester Store was built in 1893 and was owned by the Hester family until 1983. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, and Katie and her partner purchased it in 2021.

“I've always dreamed of starting a general store, and being able to use my passion for cooking and baking to nurture the people I love,” Chaney said, “but I never really had the confidence to believe I could do something like that.”

Born and raised in Anderson, Chaney moved away to pursue a career in HR. She was traveling the world for work when the pandemic hit and felt compelled to move back home to the Upstate with her family. She held down a consulting job during the day and spent her nights experimenting in the kitchen, fueling a passion that had been burning inside for quite some time. She studied cookbooks, watched YouTube videos, and practiced until she got it right.

“I started really thinking about what this general store could be, and what kind of specialty products we could offer,” she said. “The store was in need of some serious TLC, and I knew that was something I could provide and put my own mark on while bringing back a much-needed gathering place for the community.”

Chaney utilizes regional fruit and produce whenever possible, and aims to create meaningful connections to local food and goods, which is a key principle of the general store concept.

Hester General Store’s offerings include cakes, pies, bread, pastries, cookies, vegan soft-serve ice cream, and a variety of grab-and-go items with plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The store will also sell eggs, produce, and other goods from local farmers and artisans. Guests can order drinks from the coffee counter, or take home some of Hester’s signature Abuela’s Blend, roasted in partnership with Methodical Coffee. Baking classes will start in January, for groups of 8-15 people, followed by a community dining experience at the end.

Hester General Store is committed to featuring local, female, LGBT+, and BIPOC-owned businesses in food, and using their platform to uplift others. A proud member of the Upstate SC LGBT+ Chamber, Hester General Store is a place of inclusion and acceptance for all.

Hester General Store is located at 1735 Hester Store Road, Easley, SC 29640. Store hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday-Sunday (open 7 days a week).

The Book Warehouse Outlet in Easley, SC is enormous and has all kinds of books, puzzles, games, magnets, cards that are all brand new and all 70% off. We have all the details on how to take advantage of their public sales.

I stumbled upon the first Book Warehouse Outlet sale completely by accident as I was in the area one Saturday in December and saw a sign for a book sale. Being an avid book lover, I took my chances, followed the signs, and arrived in heaven.

There were cookbooks, fiction books, nonfiction books, books about math, books about space, journals, puzzles, games, crayons, notebooks with colored pencils, board books, and awesome gifts. All of them were brand new and all of them were 70% off. What had I stumbled into?

About the Book Warehouse Outlet

The world of book publishing is very complicated. I have some experience in part of the process and I feel like I still don’t know much. From what I gathered speaking with the wonderful people who run the Book Warehouse Outlet, the pallets and pallets of books and other goodies are essentially extras or overprinted items. They are all in perfect condition.

The warehouse is about 300,000 square feet total, although the public doesn’t get to roam around all of it. What they do get to see and walk through is plenty. I’ve been a few times and still have not gone through all the stuff they have.

The warehouse isn’t open to the public daily, only during their public sales, which are not on a regular schedule yet. Your best bet is to follow The Book Warehouse on Facebook or stay tuned to our calendar since we’ll have the sales posted.

Navigating the Warehouse

If you love books, games, puzzles, etc., then you probably won’t want to leave this place. The hours pass by quickly as you roam around the boxes and aisles seeing what they’ve got. Every sale is different since the warehouse is constantly getting in new products so you never know what you’ll find.

They have:

The goodies are not labeled like you’d find in a regular bookstore so you are going to have to search around for things. The pallets are all pretty much either the same book or game or puzzles or at least similar items. At the last sale I went to in February, a lot of the puzzles were in one area but in general, don’t expect an organized fiction or cookbook section.

Things are not thrown all over the place – everything is neat and organized and I found it a lot of fun to just browse through everything to see what I could find.

Also, the prices on the books, games, puzzles, etc. aren’t marked up and then 70% off is taken. They are the prices you’d find in any bookstore – except way cheaper!

Tips on Shopping the Book Warehouse Sale

I cannot overstate how huge this place is and how much stuff they have for sale. It’s maybe just a tad smaller than Costco and can be overwhelming. After I went the first time, I told my kids we are taking lunch the next time and spending a lot of time there. It’s that big. Here are a few tips on how to make the most of your time:

Bring a foldable wagon or cart: They don’t have shopping carts there (it would really clog the aisles) so you can bring your own shopping bag or cart. I saw people with those foldable beach wagons and thought it was brilliant. They also had boxes that you could label with your name and leave on the side of an aisle so you could just drop stuff in there and go back to shopping.

If you can’t find the price, ask: The staff here are awesome and incredibly helpful. If you can’t find the listed price, just ask.

Bathrooms are limited: There are only a couple bathrooms so make a bathroom run beforehand if you need to. There are some gas stations nearby.

Bring cash for faster checkout: The lines for cash are a lot faster than the line for credit cards.

Be patient: The warehouse isn’t open daily so they don’t run like clockwork – just be patient when it comes time for checkout, parking, and rummaging through the books.

New stuff is added: The warehouse gets new shipments in daily so what you saw at the last sale may not be available at the next one. And they will put out new stuff for the upcoming sales – it’s like finding treasure!

The Next Book Warehouse Sale

The next Book Warehouse Outlet public sale is Saturday and Sunday, March 25-26, 2023 from 8 am – 8 pm. They’ve added several extra hours so you can be sure to get in all your shopping.

This is The Ingles Open Road.

Today we’re taking you on a quick tour of one of South Carolina’s many charming small towns with big fun for your weekend. We’re in Easley, enjoying some of the best of what this Upstate town has to offer.

Located West of the city of Greenville, Easley boasts a charming downtown that boomed in the textile days… and has now settled into a pleasant place to call home, and a fun destination for exploration. Ingles is sponsoring their 4th of July festival this year, and that’s just one of the many community events on offer here throughout the year.

We’re kicking off our day with an Easley institution right here at Joe’s. This place is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Time to see what decades of success taste like.

This is quintessential diner fare at its best. Burgers, dogs, shakes, and ice cream. And what they’re most famous for – their banana split.

Next up we’re trading one cultural institution for another one that has audiences cheering for more than the food. It’s the Foothills Playhouse – a community theatre that makes a great stop for a matinee or an evening performance during your day out.

This place is in its 4th decade of live theatre – with plays, musicals, comedians, recitals, and more. It’s where local talent pour their passion into amazing entertainment. And it’s ready and waiting for you.

To finish off our day in Easley we’re off to find some Good Karma. To be more specific, we’re checking out Good Karma Consignment and Ice Cream. If you’re looking for some cool threads, unique gift ideas, and just a fun shopping experience, this is a great place to stop. And when we’ve finished, it was time for just a little more ice cream. Because, well… ice cream.

Ingles is all about supporting small towns and the communities we call home, and Easley is a fantastic example of that wonderful relationship. Make sure and head to their 4th of July festival, and then plan a return trip to check out some of these great spots. Your weekend is waiting… on the Ingles Open Road.
