Triad Electrical Services was on time for the estimate, installation, and inspection of my EV charger. They communicated very well providing updates via text. The quality of their work is superb. They provided clear instructions about how to submit the request for reimbursement of the installation to Duke Energy. Thank you for a job well done!

I have had a great experience with Triad Electrical from scheduling to the electrical work itself. Nick and Craig completed the work for our remodel and did a great job! I really appreciate them for going the extra step and involving me in the process by checking to make sure that fixtures and receptacles were going in the right place. Thank you Triad for your continued professionalism and doing quality work at a reasonable price!

I couldn't be happier with the install. I got a ev charger installed. The fuse box was on the outside of my house behind the garage,and I ran the 240 to the garage door. I got a bunch of quotes from other electricians and electrical companies. They did the work for 1000s less. They broke a fuse switch replaced it no cost, they installed a whole home surge protector, and my 240 line for my car. Passed inspection, and it was still all cheaper by 1000s then 4 other quotes. I highly recommend getting a quote from them before you settle on a service.

Triad Electrical installed my EV charger, and I couldn't be more happy. From the quote to the installation, everything was done on time and quickly. I wanted my charger on a specific side, and they accommodated that request without any issues. After installation, they set up the inspection with the town inspector for the Duke Energy Rebate paperwork. The inspector didn't make my first appointment, but I called to let them know, and they set up another appointment for me. Everything was great from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Great service, professionalism, and fair pricing.

Each project was completed with excellent quality results. Great job!!! Thanks.

Our porch and fan were not working and we called Triad. Nicholas and Frank did some trouble shooting and determined it was the receiver for the remote. They also found a breaker popped and found we had a paper shredder plugged in to a low voltage outlet. Both young men were professional and informed us what they were doing as they went along. I recommend Triad and would use them again for any electrical needs.

After purchasing our first EV vehicles we quickly realized that a hardwired charger would be needed (actually two since we ended up with two EVs). Our electrical panel also was the original panel from the house construction in 1978 with no additional circuit space so needed that upgraded as well.Called multiple electricians to come and give us quotes on our upgrade project. Triad had one of the best prices of the bunch (one other company actually refused to give an upfront quote and said they would add pricing as they hit issues. No thank you). They also had the best review rating of the ones that we called.Harvey (the representative) was on time for the quote and listened carefully to what I wanted completed. He took note of everything and sent me the quote that evening. The quote was right in line with all of the other companies cost wise. They also spelled out exactly what was being done in the quote. A few other company quotes were much more generic (ie we'll hang a charger on the wall, Triad actually stated they would mount within x feet of the front edge of the wall, install a 200 amp panel, etc)Install day came and the crew was right on time. Much to my delight Harvey was back again for the work day. Most of my other home projects the install crew has never seen the project (or sometimes even talked to the sales rep) so having Harvey who did the initial quote and size up back with the install team was a great benefit.The whole team worked very well together and communicated things back to me at every point (When they were cutting power for example). When a new outlet was being added they made sure to ask me where I would have liked those located. Kudos to all.All in all a very great experience with Triad. They will definitely be the only call I'll make for any future electrical work I may need.

For my EV charger, Triad installed 240V, 50A circuit breaker, 50A wiring, and NEMA 14-50 outlet & wall box, and cleaned up in less than two hours!Everything was seamless from the first phone call to schedule a free estimate to the inspection. They text when they're on the way, and they either arrived early, or within the first hour of the expected time frame for each visit (quote, work, and inspection).Harvey walked me through what all I need to apply for Duke Energy's EV charger prep credit and took care of everything else, which included pulling the permits, returning for the inspection, and providing the necessary paperwork from their end.They were easy to work with, communicative, punctual. Communication was smooth and efficient with every one I spoke to -- Leilani, Harvey, Chris. I highly recommend them to anyone needing any electrical work done!

We had three technicians sent out to hang 2 fans (15-foot ceiling), a chandelier (18-foot ceiling), two garage LED four-foot light fixtures on a 15-foot ceiling, two flush-mount light fixtures in hallway and a room, add a dimmer switch, and repair a short and replace bulbs for corner-mount exterior floodlights. All of the work was accomplished in three hours and the quality of the work, and the courtesy of the electricians, was outstanding. They sought our input on placement, hanging height, and location of furniture they needed to move out of the way. We give them our highest recommendation - A+ on all categories for this type of job. We plan to have them return for some additional work as soon as it can be scheduled.

How Does a Whole House Surge Protector Work?

A whole house surge protector works to protect the home wiring system from any irregular voltage. These systems must be installed by an experienced, qualified electrician. The system functions as a filter against surges of energy entering your system and destroying your in-home systems.

An easier way to understand surge protectors is to think of them as energy diverters. When a surge or spike rolls through, your whole home surge protection will send all the excess power that your home’s appliances can’t take on safely down through your home’s grounding power line.

Why Choose Us

Our professionals will finish your lighting on time and leave you completely satisfied.

We will always work around your time and schedule.

We will give you your pricing upfront so you can have all of the information you need about your desired service.

We have the knowledge and skill as well as the licensing and experience to advise on any electrical issue.

Do Whole House Surge Protectors Work Against Lightning?

Yes, a whole house surge protector can protect your home from lightning. It is installed at the circuit breaker panel, and wired to your main breaker panel, protecting against surges from within the home. An external surge protector defends your home against lightning strikes, power line surges, and surges caused by utility maintenance or grid switches.
