Our experience with Triad Electrical Services was excellent. Our electrical problem was frequent tripping of circuit breakers. Nick and his associate arrived on time, evaluated the issue and made necessary repairs. They were knowledgeable, efficient and personable. We are very pleased with work done by Triad.

I had some can lights put in my kitchen to replace and old fluorescent bulb fixture. Nick and Justin were both timely and professional. They checked in with my during the install process to make sure I was happy with the progress. They also made sure to go over whatever things I needed to take care of before they started. I would definitely recommend them to install, and will be using them for services I may need in the future.

Highly recommend!!! Setting up the appointment was straightforward and Chris was good about talking through the options for the EV/Hybrid charging outlet. We had several lighting issues inside/outside plus asked for the EV/Hybrid outlet installation. Technicians were on time, professional, and courteous. They kept me informed throughout the servicing. They worked hard all day and Chris came out to pitch in to finish - we ended up replacing all the fluorescent lights in closets with LED recess lights instead of trying to fix the builders grade old fluorescent tube lighting. In the end, we had all indoor/outdoor light issues fixes (broken outdoor light with bad connection and an indoor switch that wasn't working), new LED recess lights in all closets, and a new EV/Hybrid outlet installed in the garage. Appreciate they were upfront about costs. Will definitely use Triad Electrical Services again.

Had Triad install my EV charger. Wanted it hardwired and they came out, provided an estimate and explained what they were going to do. Had other estimates but Triad was the most professional and took the time to discuss the install process and their experience with the Duke Energy rebate program. Installation was great…in and out in 1.5 hours. EV Charger works great and we’re awaiting the City inspection so we can submit our rebate forms. Definitely recommend Triad!

It was great working with Triad to install my new EV charger. I was able to get an estimate on the work same day, and when my charger arrived a day early, Triad was able to fit me into the schedule a week ahead of schedule! The guys did the work expertly, and didn’t leave a mess (which way too many companies do). Can’t recommend them enough.

I had a difficult job of getting wiring from back of the house to the front. Chris was great with identifying the best easiest way to do it and his Quote was very reasonable and lower than other quotes.The men who came to do the job were also very professional and they found out an easier path through the ceiling using existing wire routes and this caused much less cutting than expected. The work was clean and would definitely recommend them for any Electrical work.

One of the best decision I made to call Triad for my ev charger installation. Very professional service. Triad came to my house for pre installation inspection and the quote they give is the best one I have received. The installation was smooth and they suggested how to run wire to make the wire organized. Amazing work!

First, they presented our available options during the initial consultation, ensuring we got the value we were looking for. Second, they were very communicative about when they would be arriving to do the work and completed the job quickly. Finally, they provided everything we needed to submit for the full Duke Power rebate. Excellent work all around, recommend for any electrical needs.

I had an EV charger installed on the side of my house. Triad was quick, friendly, and informative. They got out here to provide a free consultation within a couple days of my request, and were able to schedule me right away for my installation. They walked me through the install process, and next steps for getting reimbursement from the power company. They've also coordinated all necessary inspections. I'll be using them for all of my electrical needs going forward.

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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
