Electrical services in Colchester, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Colchester — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Colchester electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Colchester 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 west Colchester and the Colchester town line 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 Colchester customers say
Knob and tube in the attic, which every inspection flags around here. They rewired the second floor in stages so we could stay in the house. Fair price, honest sequencing.
Breaker kept tripping every time the dryer ran. They found a nicked conductor behind the wall rather than just swapping the breaker like the last guy did. That is the difference.
Kitchen remodel wiring — appliance circuits, under-cabinet lighting, island outlets. On schedule with the cabinet fitters, which never happens.
Electrician in Colchester — questions we get asked
Can you help with a home inspection or closing deadline in Colchester?
Yes. We do pre-purchase electrical inspections with a written report and photos, and we handle inspection punch-lists for Colchester closings — GFCI outlets, missing box covers, ungrounded receptacles, panel corrections. Tell us your closing date when you call and we will work to it.
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.
How much does an electrician charge in Colchester?
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 install EV chargers in Colchester?
Yes. Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors and other EVSE units, including the load calculation to confirm your panel can carry it. Most Colchester installs are a single-day job. If capacity is tight we will tell you before you buy the charger, not after.
Can you rewire a house without tearing it apart?
Mostly, yes. In older Colchester 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.
How fast can an electrician get to my Colchester address?
True emergencies in Colchester are usually reached within a couple of hours, often faster during business hours. Non-urgent work is normally booked same-day or next-morning depending on when you call. You get a two-hour arrival window and a text before the crew sets off, so you are not sitting home all day.
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.
