Electrical services in Chester, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Chester — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Chester electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Chester 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 Chester town line and the north side of Chester 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 Chester customers say
Flickering lights all over the ground floor. Turned out to be a loose neutral at the main. They explained why that is the dangerous kind of flicker and fixed it that day.
Whole house surge protector after we lost a TV and a router to a spike. Sensible advice, quick install.
Old aluminium wiring in a 70s house. Rather than a scare pitch, they explained pigtailing versus rewiring and let me choose. Ended up doing it in two phases.
Electrician in Chester — questions we get asked
Can you help with a home inspection or closing deadline in Chester?
Yes. We do pre-purchase electrical inspections with a written report and photos, and we handle inspection punch-lists for Chester closings — GFCI outlets, missing box covers, ungrounded receptacles, panel corrections. Tell us your closing date when you call and we will work to it.
Can you upgrade an old electrical panel in Chester?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in Chester. 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.
How much does an electrician charge in Chester?
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.
How do I book an electrician in Chester?
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.
Can you rewire a house without tearing it apart?
Mostly, yes. In older Chester homes we fish new runs through existing cavities, use attic and basement routes, and open only where we have to — then patch what we open. Whole-house rewiring is usually staged floor by floor so you can keep living there while it happens.
Do you pull permits for electrical work in Chester?
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.
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.
