We had a mess. Old panels, no room for adding lines, under-powered areas of the house that were constantly tripping breakers. Chris and his team are, above anything else, professional. They had to coordinate the meeting inspectors while contending with terrible weather. All my punch list items were completed, and completed well. These are good guys who do outstanding and extremely competent work.

Used them to install an EV charger. Chris was excellent. Had the best price compared to the competition. There were slightly cheaper options but not so professional .Most imp points when it comes to EV installation.1. Duke energy has max 1100 dollars rebate. So if you have duke electricity for your home , you can get this rebate .2. Triad knows all the ins and outs of this.3. Triad/ Chris takes care of all the things including EV installation , city electric inspection , providing the necessary documents for duke rebate .4. He gives one price and that is it. This price includes every thing from start to finish and it includes the inspection as well. Others will give you their price and the city inspection is extra ( Cary inspection is around 200 dollars ).

Our house was struck by lightning and it took out a lot of our electrical in the house. After calling around to several Electrician who said they could not help us, the staff at Triad worked us into their schedule quickly and was exactly on time. They went through the house house and made sure everything that needed to be replaced was and that all panel and circuits were working. After a day, we had an electrical incident and I called them right away and they were there the next day, rechecking the panel and lines. They also fixed a few things that they found and only charged me for the service call. All the electricians were professional, courteous and listen to our needs. They went up and beyond their jobs.

I saw a Triad ad on Facebook and gave them a call to get a quote to install an EV charging station in our garage. Chris was very helpful in explaining the various options for equipment and installation. He gave us details on how to get a rebate from Duke Energy for the cost of the installation. Two fellows came to do the installation at the time scheduled and finished in about 40 minutes -- no fuss no muss. All in all very professional and easy.

I recently purchased an EV and needed to get an EV charger installed in my garage. After doing a bit of research, I settled on Triad Electrical Services and filled out their contact form to get a free quote.Chris reached out to me quickly to find a time that met my schedule, he showed up on time, and made the quote process extremely easy. We agreed on a price and scheduled his team to come out a couple of weeks later to do the installation. They also were incredibly responsive in their communication to let me know when they were on their way and arrived on time. The team was incredibly professional and did a great job with the install.I could not have asked for an easier process or a more professional team. What really stood out to me was their impressive level of communication, which is frankly not the norm in many of the service industries. It was noticed and appreciated. Thank you again to Chris and his team for a job well done and I'm happy to say I now have an electrician I know that I can reach out to whenever we need additional jobs done in the future!

I used Triad Electrical Services to install a new light fixture in a bathroom that I just had renovated and from the initial inquiry call, to the estimate, to the installation, every person I talked to or met with was fantastic.

Two techs showed up in time. They talked to me about the garage outlet installation about where and how I wanted the plug oriented. Then did the work. They even noticed a small issue with one of the empty breaker locations and put a dummy breaker in to fix it .They will come back when the inspection is done too!I highly recommend their service!!

Since purchasing my first home in October 2022, I’ve used Triad twice. Both times they have been friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They explained the problem and solution in an easy to understand way and got my confirmation before beginning work. They even let me know about signs of old water damage to keep an eye on. So helpful!

I contacted at least a half dozen electricians in the Apex/Cary area about installing a 50A circuit to plug in an EV charger, and Chris and the team at Triad were by far the most responsive and easiest to work with. Chris came out the next day to look at the garage and panel, talked about some options about how to route the conduit, gave me a quote on the spot, which was right in line with what I was expecting to pay. We scheduled the work for a week later, and the crew did a beautiful job. (Some other companies wanted to charge dispatch fees just to come out to give a quote, and yet another company tried to talk me out of placing the receptacle where I wanted it.) I have found our go-to electrical services company, and will not hesitate to engage with Triad again.

I needed help with remediating some aluminum wire when I bought my new home. Several things that really stood out to me when working with Chris and his team:—Quick to communicate if there was any delay in meeting at the intended time.—Took time to educate me and explain what the options were. I'm always looking to work with folks who have the heart of a teacher and don't just tell me what needs to be done, but why.— Prices were fair.—Chris and his team were very professional. They did good work, and they took the time to clean up after themselves, which I so appreciated. Even whey they had to cut into the ceiling, they did it in the least obtrusive way so it would be super easy to patch.Overall I was thrilled with the work they did. I will absolutely be using them again when I'm ready to install overhead lighting, and have already referred my neighbors to them.

Everyone wants that go-to. You know - the mechanic you tell all your friends to take their car too; the HVAC people to call in an emergency; the handyman that can do everything and anything. Well Triad earned their spot as my go-to for electricians.First, Chris came out and spent a lot of time evaluating my job and presenting me with multiple options since my circuit panels had little capacity left in them. Most other electricians I called barely wanted to talk to me let alone come out and give an estimate. Subsequently they arrived exactly on time and when my appliance wasn't there when it was supposed to be, through absolutely no fault of theirs, they completely took it in stride and fit me in to complete the job once it arrived. They didn't even want partial payment for a good day's worth of work that they had done prior to the appliance arriving.I even had fun chatting with them about soccer as the World cup was going on during the job. The whole crew was exceptionally nice, thorough and professional.Try them out and I think you two will have found your go-to.

We had previously hired Triad Electrical Services to fix a bad gfci outlet, a few regular ones and a few light switches - hotel type. They fixed it, but didn’t replaced the gfci outlet, as there was a bad regular outlet somewhere else that they then replaced.We needed to find the problem by elimination. Months later when the problem with the lights came back and the gfci outlet died on us, they came back and didn’t charge the dispatch fee. They replaced another regular outlet and the gfci. It has been 4 months since the repair and all is good.

Chris and team were excellent. Very prompt service. Chris came in the morning to provide estimates to install EV charging station and he sent his team same day in the afternoon for installation. They were done within an hour . Great service. I would highly recommend Triad electrical services. Thank you Nimesh

Chris and his team were punctual, professional and very communicative. I chose Triad specifically because of the level of explanation that Chris took the time and effort to communicate to me. Not to mention, he told me about the Duke Energy program that can reimburse some of the cost of EV home charging installations, something no other contractor bothered to mention. I paid a few dollars more than I could have, but I got way more value. Not to mention the installation was done with commercial grade products. Highly recommend Triad. Already lining them up for my next project.

We had Triad Electrical Services handle our electrical needs for a kitchen renovation, with primary focus on installing recessed lighting where we had none before and under cabinet lighting, hanging/moving new pendants including in adjacent rooms and installing smart switches (including some crawl space work). They were so easy to schedule during our project workflow (just slotted in effortlessly), so attentive and professional. They were one vendor that we never had to worry about (quality, coming when they said, etc). The lighting really changed the entire vibe of the project and came out top notch.

Chris and his team at Triad Electrical installed above and below counter LED lighting in our kitchen. They also replaced some of the switches with Lutron Caseta WiFi switches. Now I can control these light remotely or via voice through Google Home, Apple, and other platforms. They did a great job and were extremely responsive to all questions and issues.

I have used Triad Electrical Services for several things, large to small, and they have been excellent communicators, very thorough, and are fully licensed. I can't speak to how they compare cost-wise with other companies, but I trust them to be fair and do a good job. The owner, Chris, is a great guy.

Triad Electrical were great. They did an EV charger installation in my garage. Communication with Chris and the company was particularly excellent, and they came back out to tweak a few things at my request and with a smile. That's great customer service. The guys installing were nice as well and did a good job. I would enlist Triad again for any electrical need.

Replacing Switches and Outlets: Your Options
Replacing a switch or outlet may seem to be a simple DIY project, but most people who are unfamiliar with how electrical systems work should stay away from working on any activated outlet or switch. Our electricians will evaluate the condition of the switch and ensure it is replaced safely. Along with safely replacing your outlets and switches, you will discover many other benefits with our professional outlet installation repair service.
Save Money and Time – Another reason to hire an electrician for outlet repair is that it will save you time. You may even save money as well by letting our Triad electrical professional perform your outlet repair service. Our team has repaired countless outlets, which means we know exactly how to get the job done and can do so as quickly as possible.
Protect Your Appliances – Another good reason to hire an electrician to handle your outlet installation repair is that messing with your wiring can cause damage to your circuits, or the appliances connected to them if the wiring is faulty or just old. Our electrical experts know how to deal with temperamental wiring without letting it cause further problems.
Safety – Staying safe is the most important reason to have an electrician handle your outlet repair needs or any other electrical issues you may have. Electricity is dangerous, and a faulty outlet repair could leave you with a serious risk of electrical fires–not to mention the risk of serious injury if you are shocked.
If you need help with repairing or installing your electrical outlets, give our Triad professionals a call today.

Our goal is to be the electrician you rely on throughout all the years ahead, and we perform all our services with honesty, integrity, and skill:
GFCI outlet installations
Any outlet that is near a water source, whether in the kitchen, bathroom, garage, or shop, should be replaced with a GFCI outlet to protect against electric shock.
Home outlet replacement
If you have an outlet that no longer functions, gets hot, or only intermittently works, it is critical that it is repaired and replaced at once. The risk of fire is increased when an outlet is past its prime, contains aging wires, has decayed wire insulation, or other problems.
Home switch replacement
If a switch in your home no longer works, we can install a new, more attractive switch, including toggle switches, rocker switches, push-button switches, touch light systems, timer-equipped switches, smart switches, and every other option.
Repair for “backstabbed” outlets
Backstabbed outlets were installed without screws to hold the wires in place, a common practice in past years. Over time, the wires can loosen, causing a short that burns the circuit, leading to a more costly repair or fire risk.
Smart home switches and outlets
Automate your home with lighting features you can control from your smartphone.
What Are the Common Outlets Found in Homes?
AC electrical sockets allow electricity to flow through an alternating current to any piece of equipment plugged into it. If you need an outlet installed in your home, there are a variety of different types that may be a good fit for your needs.
20A Outlets – These outlets are designed to handle more demanding devices. So, this means that this strong outlet can handle devices without tripping the breaker. The 20A outlets will usually be installed where heavy appliances are used like utility closets and kitchens.
Switched Outlets – These outlets are used to replace one of the receptacles with a switch.
USB Outlets – Used primarily in modern homes, USB outlets provide receptacles for USB cords alongside two normal receptacles.
Smart Outlets – These interesting outlets can be hooked up to your smartphone and turned on and off through that device.
AFCI Outlets – Known as “arc fault circuit interrupters”, AFCI outlets prevent electricity from jumping between wires and starting fires.
GCFI Outlet – This particular outlet is typically installed in outdoor areas or in damp areas in your home. Your GFCI will detect when a current is flowing through an unintentional path. After discovering that your electricity has flown through the wrong path, It will then shut off the electric power circuit that is providing electricity to that outlet.
