Most homeowners in Greensboro, NC think about electrical work in one of two ways: something that needs attention right now because it stopped working, or something that’s been sitting on the to-do list for a couple of years. Trusted residential electrical services cover both ends of that spectrum. At Triad Electric Solutions, our home electrical team is locally owned and serves Greensboro and the greater Triad area. The range of work we handle for homeowners tends to surprise people once they actually reach out.
What follows is a practical breakdown of each service area, what the work actually involves, and how to tell when it applies to your home.
Emergency Electrical Repairs
Some electrical problems don’t wait for a convenient time. A tripped breaker that won’t reset, partial power loss in part of the house, sparking from an outlet, or a burning smell near any electrical component all call for same-day response from a licensed electrician.
Our electrical repairs service runs 24 hours a day. For Greensboro homeowners, having a contractor you can reach after hours matters more than most people realize until they need it. Many calls we take are situations where a homeowner has been living with a problem for weeks, hoping it would resolve itself. Electrical issues rarely do.
Service Panel Upgrades
The electrical panel is the distribution hub for everything in the house. If it’s undersized, outdated, or showing signs of age, it limits what you can run safely and reliably. Panels in homes built before 1980 are often rated at 60 or 100 amps, well below what a modern household needs.
A panel upgrade replaces the existing panel with a properly sized unit, typically 200 amps for most homes. We handle the permit application, coordinate with the utility for service disconnection, and bring everything up to current code. It’s a full-day job in most cases, and one that pays off in reliability for years after.
Electrical Rewires
Older homes in Greensboro were wired for a different era. Homes built in the 1950s and 60s often still have the original wiring in place, and some homes from the 1965 to 1973 period have aluminum branch circuit wiring that presents specific concerns when not properly maintained or updated.
A whole-home or partial electrical rewire replaces aging or unsafe wiring with copper wiring to current code. The scope depends on the size of the home and how much of the existing wiring is affected. We assess the full picture before recommending a whole-home versus partial approach, because not every situation calls for the same solution.
EV Charger Installation
Level 1 charging from a standard 120-volt outlet works in a pinch, but most EV owners find it too slow for daily use. A Level 2 EV charger installation adds a dedicated 240-volt circuit and charger to the garage, cutting charge times significantly.
Every EV charger installation we do includes a panel assessment to confirm the existing service can handle the additional load, permit application, and a clean installation. Some homes need a panel upgrade before the charger circuit can be added. We’ll let you know before work begins, not after.
Generator Installation
A standby generator powers your home automatically when the grid goes down. A portable generator requires manual startup and a transfer switch to connect safely. Both options require a licensed electrician for proper installation and code compliance.
Our generator installs include the transfer switch or interlock kit required by code, permit application, and coordination with whatever generator brand or supplier you’re working with. We size the system to your actual load, not to a standard package recommendation.
Surge Protection and Lighting
A whole-home surge protector installs at the panel and protects everything connected to your electrical system from voltage spikes. It’s a single installation that protects appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment from the surges that come through the utility line or from internal sources like compressor cycling. For what it costs relative to what it protects, it’s one of the easier decisions in residential electrical.
Lighting work covers adding circuits for new fixtures, replacing outdated fixture wiring, and exterior and landscape lighting installations. We serve Kernersville, High Point, Winston-Salem, and across Greensboro for all of the above.
