Electrical services in Canaan, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Canaan — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Canaan electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Canaan to price a panel upgrade and an EV charger, you get the same thing: a straight diagnosis, one flat number, and a crew that turns up inside the window we gave you.
We work in the north side of Canaan and Canaan Center regularly, so we know the housing stock here — the panels that were fitted in the sixties and never touched, the ungrounded two-prong circuits, the additions wired by someone's cousin. That matters because it makes diagnosis faster, and diagnosis is what you are really paying for.

What Canaan customers say
New construction rough-in on a small addition. Coordinated with our builder, hit the schedule, no back-charges.
Burning smell from an outlet at eleven at night. I called, they told me exactly which breaker to shut off while they drove over, and killed the problem in an hour. Genuinely calm and helpful on the phone.
Called at 6am with no power to half the house and no tripped breaker. On site by 8. Corroded main lug. Explained, priced, replaced.
Electrician in Canaan — questions we get asked
My breaker keeps tripping. Is that an emergency?
It depends on the pattern. A breaker that trips once when you overload a circuit is doing its job. A breaker that trips repeatedly, trips with nothing plugged in, feels hot, or will not reset at all is telling you there is a fault in the wiring — that is worth a same-day visit. If you smell anything burning, stop using the circuit and call (833) 652-8933 now.
Do you do small jobs, or is there a minimum?
Small jobs are welcome. A single outlet, one switch, a ceiling fan swap — we will come out for it. If you have a list of small items, bundle them into one visit and you pay one call-out instead of several.
What areas around Canaan do you cover?
All of Canaan plus the neighbouring towns — Bridgewater, Colebrook, Bethlehem and the rest of Litchfield County. We cover every city and town in Connecticut, so if you are just over a town line you are still inside our service area.
Do you offer generator installation in Canaan?
Yes — standby and whole-house generators, including sizing, pad or bracket mounting, the automatic transfer switch, and load testing. Connecticut outages tend to be storm-driven and can run long, so we size for the circuits you actually need rather than selling you the biggest unit on the shelf.
How much does an electrician charge in Canaan?
We price the job, not the hour. A small repair like a dead outlet or a failed switch is a modest flat fee; a panel upgrade or an EV charger install is a fixed project price. Either way you approve one number before anything starts, and that number covers parts, labour and cleanup. Call (833) 652-8933 for a real figure on your job.
Do you pull permits for electrical work in Canaan?
When the work requires a permit, yes, we pull it and we meet the inspector. Panel upgrades, service changes, new circuits, rewiring and EV charger installs typically need one. Small like-for-like repairs usually do not. We will tell you which category your job falls into during the quote.
Do you offer 24 hour emergency electrician service in Canaan?
Yes. The phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and there is an on-call crew covering Canaan and the surrounding Litchfield County towns. If you have no power, a sparking outlet, a burning smell or a breaker that will not reset, call (833) 652-8933 and ask for the emergency line. We do not add an after-hours surcharge.
