Electrical Services for Spas and Pools

Looking to add value to your home? Installing a spa or pool is a wonderful idea to add to your list. Plus, your backyard barbecues will be much more fun. The process of installing a pool or spa isn't something you can handle on your own, though. You will need a team of experienced electricians in Tega Cay, SC to ensure your system is set up correctly. That way, you can enjoy your pool or spa for years to come, and it'll be in great working order when it's time to sell.

Why Do I Need an Electrical Contractor for Pool or Spa Installation?

Installing a pool or spa is a very involved job that includes more than digging out space for a pool or spa. These units are very complex and have a whole host of electrical needs, from heating units and filters to color-changing lights that wow your guests. Having a professional install these parts is vital. Otherwise, you'll be swimming in a dirty, near-freezing pool or spa.

Hiring Sievert Electrical Contractors guarantees your pool or spa will be in proper working order for years and years.

EV Charging Station Installation

Finding a reliable EV charging station when you're out and about is still a gamble in this day and age. While EV charger availability is improving, most EV owners prefer to have a charging station installed at home. But doing so is easier said than done and often requires the help of a professional electrician.

Why Do I Need an Electrical Contractor for EV Charging Station Installation?

If you're like most homeowners, you don't have the proper permit to install your own EV charging station. For that reason alone, you need to rely on a pro who has the right tools and electrical know-how to handle the job. Plus, EV chargers need much more voltage than standard electrical systems you may find in your home. That makes installing these devices much more dangerous than average appliances. Hiring Sievert Electrical Contractors to install your charging station ensures it's completed quickly, correctly, and safely.

Industrial Electric Repair


When it comes to electrical repair services, serving industrial needs is often more comprehensive and complex than those in the residential space.

Industrial electricians must deal with more complex electrical systems. These advanced systems often need different equipment and tools when repairs to industrial-grade elements are required. Unlike residential repairs, in industrial settings, electrical systems are usually custom-made for the facility and include unique parts with higher voltages than in the typical home. And while no electrical issue is good, industrial failures have massive repercussions that can often shut enterprises down when their temperature control, machinery, and automated PLCs are affected.

For those reasons alone, you need the best electric pros to perform industrial-level electric repairs. Fortunately, Sievert Electrical Contractors is here to help. Our industrial electricians have the experience and expertise to tackle the most complicated industrial electric repairs, whether you own a warehouse, medical center, or another type of industrial facility.

Has the big road upgrade in Fort Mill improved your drive? If not, just wait

A new traffic pattern is open in Fort Mill, but better days still should lie ahead for drivers.The intersection where Fort Mill Parkway and Spratt Street meet, near Riverview Elementary School and the new Elizabeth neighborhood, opened earlier this year with a new configuration.

A new traffic pattern is open in Fort Mill, but better days still should lie ahead for drivers.

The intersection where Fort Mill Parkway and Spratt Street meet, near Riverview Elementary School and the new Elizabeth neighborhood, opened earlier this year with a new configuration. Yet there’s still concern from drivers how well the intersection, plus the nearby U.S. 21 and Sutton Road intersection, are functioning.

“It’s a new traffic pattern,” said Pennies for Progress director Patrick Hamilton. “There’s a couple of growing pains that comes along with that, for the public to adjust.”

Hamilton updated elected and public officials Friday when the Rock Hill-Fort Mill Area Transportation Study policy committee met. One of those officials, Fort Mill Mayor Guynn Savage, thanked Hamilton for ongoing road work but said she gets constant constituent concern at spots like Fort Mill Parkway and Spratt or Sutton and U.S. 21.

Savage said she met early Friday with a development group when the latest round of input came.

“I was barraged with phone calls, texts,” Savage said.

Hamilton said he’s aware of concerns, like traffic light timing at Sutton and U.S. 21. There also are barrels out still on the parkway in front of Elizabeth. Hamilton said GPS sites may still need to update the newly located intersection, which isn’t fully complete despite it being open now in a new spot.

“We’re hoping by the end of March, early April, that everything will be completely finished and open to traffic,” Hamilton said.

Even then there will be challenges. The intersection work adds turn lanes, but there still is just one through lane on the parkway. The most recent Pennies campaign, approved by York County voters, includes a widening of the parkway there to five lanes.

Hamilton’s group should start acquiring right-of-way this spring.

“That project is moving along,” Hamilton said. “We’re still a couple of years out from construction starting.”

Rock Hill and Tega Cay drivers can expect new construction soon, too. Hamilton said there’s been paving done, but still some sidewalks left to complete at the Hubert Graham Way extension in Tega Cay. The project connects to the Windhaven neighborhood.

“This is set to be open to traffic around that same timeframe (as Fort Mill Parkway), around March or so,” Hamilton said.

Two smaller intersection projects have been bid out, at New Gray Rock and Sutton roads in Tega Cay and at Celanese and Cherry roads in Rock Hill. The Tega Cay project is near the new Catawba Park. The Rock Hill job is near a much larger project, the planned interchange upgrade at I-77, Celanese and Cherry.

Both the smaller intersection jobs have had utility relocation through the winter.

“Roadway construction is expected to begin in March and both of these are relatively smaller projects,” Hamilton said. “We hope to have these open to traffic in the summer.”

Still more work could come across York County, if voters approve it. A new Pennies commission was appointed, and met for the first time in January. More information should be available this week or next on the coming public meetings where municipalities and residents can offer up projects they’d like to see improved.

“They will be holding public meetings throughout the year,” Hamilton said.

York County Council appointed former council members Britt Blackwell and Chad Williams to the citizen commission, along with Montrio Belton. Chris Leonard from Tega Cay, Zackary Zapack from Rock Hill and Steve Mellon from York are the other members.

That group will take project requests through the fall. A list will be narrowed and sent to county staff for cost estimates. The commission will get those estimates back about this time next year. The group will finalize a list York County Council can vote — in full, they can’t modify it — to put on a referendum for county voters in fall 2024.

Hamilton told the RFATS group Friday there isn’t a cost projection yet for how may projects may make the next Pennies campaign, the fifth one since the program began in 1997. Pennies is a cent sales tax for roads. With extensive growth in the area since the most recent campaign was approved for almost $280 million in 2017, Hamilton said it’s likely the next campaign would fund even more work.

“I would think surely it would surpass Pennies 4,” Hamilton said.

Fort Mill road project found unmarked graves near I-77. What’s next for construction?

One of the most anticipated road construction projects in York County will need slight changes after the discovery of graves.Berry Mattox with the South Carolina Department of Transportation updated the Rock Hill-Fort Mill Area Transportation Study policy committee at its Nov. 18 meeting on area projects either in planning or construction phases.

One of the most anticipated road construction projects in York County will need slight changes after the discovery of graves.

Berry Mattox with the South Carolina Department of Transportation updated the Rock Hill-Fort Mill Area Transportation Study policy committee at its Nov. 18 meeting on area projects either in planning or construction phases. That included the interchange upgrade at Interstate 77 and S.C. 160 in Fort Mill.

“We discovered eight unmarked graves right along the side of the road that were underneath where the road, where we planned on putting drainage,” Mattox said.

A consultant is working through design changes to avoid the area where graves were found. The larger interchange work includes widening S.C. 160 heading toward the interstate and flyover lanes — to avoid left turns — atop it.

“It’s not unusual to encounter a grave,” Mattox said. “But we encountered eight of them. We felt the most prudent thing to do was do what we could to avoid. That’s the first thing, avoid, and then mitigate and avoid.”

Mattox didn’t provide information on what type of graves were found or any efforts to identify them. SCDOT won’t look to acquire the portion of property where the graves are, or disturb them.

SCDOT planned to ask for construction bids early next year. Now, it likely will be early summer, Mattox said. One of the flyover bridges will narrow about 12 feet, which could save about $1 million. The state will acquire less right-of-way to avoid the graves on what in total should be a $92 million interchange project.

“We’re now constricting our design a little bit,” Mattox said. “No operational impact to the project. We had a wide median that we’re necking down. The bridge is actually getting more narrow, so there’s actually some cost savings there. We’re building a less substantial structure over 77.”

The size of the project allows the bridge to narrow in a way that won’t impact traffic.

“There will be no impact to the public,” Mattox said. “It’s a little bit of a kink, but you won’t be able to tell if you’re driving. We’re stretching it out over several thousand feet.”

The Fort Mill interchange is directly between two of the busier areas in York County, Baxter and Kingsley. It’s also a connection point for areas of Fort Mill and Tega Cay to access Charlotte or Rock Hill via the interstate. The interchange is close, and the nearest connection, to the new Piedmont Medical Center Fort Mill hospital.

Another large project in Indian Land remains on hold due to a legal issue. SCDOT plans intersection upgrades at U.S. 521, or Charlotte Highway, and Marvin Road.

“The gas station on the corner, we are having issues acquiring that right-of-way,” Mattox said. “The purpose and need of the project have been challenged, essentially.”

Mattox said attorneys update him monthly, but SCDOT is waiting on a court date. The agency previously argued a legal case by the property owner at the intersection should be dismissed, but it wasn’t. Now the sides will have to make their cases.

“Getting it before a judge has been more difficult than we thought,” Mattox said.

Several other large projects are progressing. The Interstate 77 interchange at Celanese and Cherry roads in Rock Hill should come back for a public meeting to weigh alternatives and cost estimates in early February. At least two, possibly three, options will be presented, Mattox said.

One in consideration now involved a diverging diamond where the interstate meets Cherry Road and dual left turns where it crosses Celanese. The diverging diamond is the setup that opened at Gold Hill Road where it runs over the interstate near Fort Mill and Tega Cay. Another option for the Rock Hill intersection would limit and reconfigure left turns, a key piece of proposed improvements at several interchanges since left turns take longer and back up traffic compared to straight or right turn movements.

“We have a couple of alternatives we feel good about,” Mattox said.

Improvements at Carowinds Boulevard and Pleasant Road in Fort Mill are ongoing. Bids came in early October for India Hook and Celanese improvements in Rock Hill, and that project is in the pre-construction phase.

“I would imagine early next year, probably late January, we’ll start seeing some cones out there,” Mattox said.

The state department also has bicycle or pedestrian lane improvements at various planning or construction phases at Whites Road and Spratt Street in Fort Mill, New Gray Rock Road near Tega Cay and Dave Lyle Boulevard in Rock Hill.

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.
