Electrical services in Canterbury, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Canterbury — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Canterbury electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Canterbury 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 Canterbury town line and the north side of Canterbury 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 Canterbury customers say
Added six outlets and a dedicated circuit to my Canterbury workshop. Quoted flat, done in a morning, and they labelled the panel while they were in there.
Breaker box replacement in a condo with awkward access. Careful, no damage to shared walls, and they handled the association paperwork questions.
Warehouse LED retrofit. They ran the numbers on the payback honestly, did it over a weekend, and our lighting bill dropped exactly like they said.
Electrician in Canterbury — questions we get asked
What areas around Canterbury do you cover?
All of Canterbury plus the neighbouring towns — Brooklyn, Chaplin, Ashford and the rest of Windham 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.
How do I book an electrician in Canterbury?
Call (833) 652-8933 at any hour and describe what is happening. For anything urgent we dispatch from that call. For planned work we agree a date and a two-hour window on the spot, and you get a text confirmation.
What should I do right now if I smell burning near an outlet?
Stop using anything on that circuit, switch off the breaker feeding it if you can identify it safely, do not pull the outlet apart, and call (833) 652-8933. Tell the dispatcher it is a burning smell and it goes straight to the emergency queue. If you see smoke or flame, call 911 first.
Can you upgrade an old electrical panel in Canterbury?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in Canterbury. That covers fuse box replacement, 100 amp to 200 amp service upgrades, breaker box replacement and adding a sub panel. We handle the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect, and label every circuit before we leave.
Do you offer 24 hour emergency electrician service in Canterbury?
Yes. The phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and there is an on-call crew covering Canterbury and the surrounding Windham 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.
Do you offer generator installation in Canterbury?
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.
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.
