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.

With more than 60 years of combined experience as electricians, we are capable of troubleshooting and fixing a litany of electrical issues in your house. Keep reading to learn more about the most common electrical issues our customers report, along with some handy tips on how to remediate such problems.
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 Spartanburg to your home to fix the problem on-site.
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.
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 Spartanburg.
Unlike some of our competitors, who are reluctant to provide any information that might prevent them from making a buck, L&M Electric is all about empowering our customers. If we can offer sound advice that will educate our clients and help them save money, we have no problem doing so. That's why we have put together some helpful tips and tricks for maintaining your home's most common electrical systems. Because, at the end of the day, a little knowledge can go a long way when it comes to your family's safety.
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.
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 Spartanburg, SC, who can inspect your breaker panel and recommend upgrades if necessary.
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.
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.
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:
he electrical system in your home brings it to life from the lights and appliances we use every day to the entertainment we all love and enjoy. You want an electrician that makes you feel safe while delivering the quality services you're promised.

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – The Spartanburg County Environmental Enforcement Division arrested a woman on Wednesday after nine puppies were found in a trash bag earlier in the week.
The county’s Animal Cruelty Investigator reportedly responded to a wooded area on Shiloh Church Road in Pauline.
Officials said a tree service company discovered a black trash bag that was tied and the workers noticed the bag was moving.
“So, one of the guys who noticed it moving opens it up and inside the bag itself was a box,” SCEED Director Jamie Nelson said. “Inside the box, there were puppies.”
Of the nine puppies found in the box, only six were alive.
While doing an onsite assessment, the officer determined the puppies were around four weeks of age.
Evidence obtained on site led officers to a residence on Saratoga Avenue. Along with the issueof animal abandonment, it was determined littering was also involved.
On Wednesday, the Animal Cruelty Investigator spoke with the possible suspect, Tara Elizabeth Johns.
“The individual admitted to taking the canines and putting them in the bag and taking them to the location and abandoning them,” Nelson said. “When the officers were speaking with the individual, they had mentioned that times were hard, a lot going on, didn’t know what to do and then made a bad decision.”
Investigators arrested and charged Tara Elizabeth Johns,39, with littering less than 15 pounds and six counts of animal abandonment.
She was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center.
Individuals from the tree service company volunteered to secure and care for the puppies.
“Putting them in a trash bag, I don’t see how that could possibly be your go-to under any circumstances,” Spartanburg Humane Society President and CEO Angel Cox said.
Cox said that even though most shelters and humane societies are already overcrowded, help is available to those who ask. Cox said that in this case, the humane society would have tried to locate the puppies’ mother, as it is safest for them to nurse through at least six weeks of age.
However, she said, the best solution to situations such as this are prevention: spaying and neutering pets. Although the procedures can pose financial barriers for some, help is available.
“Animal Allies is a nonprofit here in Spartanburg. They can help you,” Cox said. “They can give you an incredible price. They can maybe hook you up with some other rescue groups that can help you take care of this so that you don’t have to pay for it.”

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - The early results of a survey found a large percent of Spartanburg county residents are burdened by the cost of rent, mortgage and other housing needs. The county is trying to find solutions.
Like much of the upstate, Spartanburg County is in the middle of a growth spurt. County leaders are trying to make sure there’s enough housing for all income levels.
“People hear the word “affordable housing”, it has a connotation people think it’s one sort of housing but really, everyone’s definition of affordable is different” said Scottie Kay Blackwell, the Communications Manager for Spartanburg County.
The population boom across the upstate has made way for a boom in housing. But, a lot of the new housing might only be affordable to some.
“Roughly 95% of renters said that they had difficulty finding housing that is affordable” said Blackwell, referring to the preliminary results of a housing survey.
Blackwell says now the county is forming a way to increase the availability of housing for everyone. It’s one of the priorities listed in their 5-year Strategic Plan. But first they need to know the obstacles and what type of housing people need.
“This survey is a way for citizens to give us their feedback and to really have a voice in the future of housing in Spartanburg County” she said.
Initial survey results show people want more single-family homes, senior living, townhomes and tiny homes. Previous county data shows there’s a need for more than 2,000 rental units for those considered extremely-low income.
“So the goal behind this assessment is to increase the availability of housing units that are affordable and accessible to people and families of all income levels and all ages” said Blackwell.
The survey is open until the end of this month. After that, the consultants form a plan of action. Considering the types of housing needed, the price ranges and locations. Then present it to the county council for approval, that could happen as soon as next month.
