Craig and his crew were efficient during a day long job that involved installing brand new outdoor outlets and circuits, crawling under the house, fishing cable through the garage, installing outdoor lights, and putting in a 220 volt electric car charger. Definitely will use again.

Update 10/31/2024 Three technicians came out and installed sconces at our front entrance and also our driveway; they hung a fan on our porch and swapped out front porch drop lights for flush-mount lights put on a separate circuit; installed two LED integrated fixtures in our laundry room, installed an outlet in our pantry, and installed a dozen trim kit upgrades on our recessed lighting throughout the home. The also installed a larger transformer and resolved a chronic doorbell issue with the installation of a RingPro doorbell system. They worked very quickly and were very affordable. They swapped out a fluorescent light fixture in an upstairs closet and then had to come back and replace the fixture they installed because it was defective. They did so at no additional charge. The technicians worked well with our door installers, and were very professional, attentive to our needs, and happy to explain what they were doing. They had to work in our crawl space four times, with only a 2.5-foot clearance and had to go the length of the home. They remained cheerful and got everything accomplished. Triad Electric has our business for any electrical work needed and they deliver excellent quality and an affordable price. We recommend them highly! 03/15/2024 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.

An on- time, efficient, and effective group. The crew arrived as scheduled, quickly laid out the tasks at hand, and then went to work to finish the job. Despite challenges given by structural complexities, they accomplished the work without delay. An excellent job overview and follow-up procedures were provided. Good crew, good job! Recommend Triad Electrical Services highly!

They were very communicative and knowledgeable from the first consultation to the install day. The person who gave me a quote was also able to recommend a reliable charger for me to purchase since I had no idea what I wanted or needed. The entire install took maybe 3 hours and I’ve had no issues with my ChargePoint home charger since then.

Triad Electrical Services made the process of installing my home EV charger smooth and hassle-free. Before I got my electric vehicle, I was unsure about the costs and available incentives. Triad was incredibly helpful, and I was able to schedule an estimate appointment within just two days.The technician arrived promptly, inspected my electrical panel, and provided a clear, detailed quote. They also informed me about the Duke Energy program, which offered additional incentives.I received my EV the following week and scheduled the installation right away. The technicians arrived the next day and completed the installation efficiently. They were courteous, kept me informed throughout the process, and finished quickly, without any power interruptions.Their professionalism and speed exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend Triad Electrical Services for anyone needing electrical work.

Triad electrical services are great! They installed an EV charging outlet in my garage back in April of 2023. I had no issues until now, when the outletrandomly stopped working. After reaching out, they were at my house within 24 hours. They fixed it up and installed a new outlet for me at no charge.

highly recommend Triad Electrical Services for installing an EV charger! they were able to give an estimate a few days after my request and scheduled installation 2 weeks later. The technician also helped me pick out an EVSE that would work for my electrical panel and told me what to look for when choosing a charger. They are amazing in their communication and provide accurate arrival windows. They also came in significantly below the other two estimates I got, and I was pleased with the result! I’ll definitely be a return customer for other electrical needs in the future.

Highly recommend. They provided a free and fair estimate, completed the work, which included installing a new electrical panel, adding recessed lights in our office and a ceiling fan in our guest room, upping the amps to our stove, and more, in less than 6 hours, and left me with the lights back on. The hardest part was waiting for the county inspector to arrive. They were professional, friendly, and efficient! Would use again.

Triad Electrical installed a wired EV charger for me. I have to say, they are one of THE best service companies I have ever used. Communication was always prompt, everyone was friendly and knowledgeable and all appointments were on time. The install was done with top quality and care for the property. They handled all permits and inspections and provided me with the details to claim my rebate from Duke Energy. Excellent experience all the way around. I will certainly call them again the next time I need electrical services. Thank you Triad Electrical!

Extremely pleasant experience with these folks! Called a handful of places to get quotes on installing an outlet for an EV Charger and Triad was head and shoulders above everyone in ease and a stress-free experience.Customer service from the first call was extremely personable and friendly, scheduling was very easy (with tighter windows than the 4 hours others give you), and service was quick and proper.They handle everything for you and keep you informed. Regular reminders for upcoming service keeps me from wondering if they'll show up. The electricians were also very kind and friendly and did great work.Not a world where I wouldn't give Triad Electrical Services a 10/10 and would recommend them to everyone!

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!

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.

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.
