Electrical services in Durham, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Durham — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Durham electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Durham 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 Durham Center and the north side of Durham 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 Durham customers say
Basement finish: circuits, outlets, egress lighting, the lot. Straight pricing and they pulled the permit so I didn't have to work out the Durham paperwork.
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.

Electrician in Durham — questions we get asked
How fast can an electrician get to my Durham address?
True emergencies in Durham 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.
Do you offer 24 hour emergency electrician service in Durham?
Yes. The phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and there is an on-call crew covering Durham and the surrounding Middlesex 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.
How do I book an electrician in Durham?
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.
Will you tell me if something does not need fixing?
Yes, and we do it regularly. Plenty of things that look alarming are cosmetic, and plenty of upgrades can safely wait a year or two. You will get a straight ranking of what is a safety issue now, what to plan for, and what to leave alone.
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.
Can you rewire a house without tearing it apart?
Mostly, yes. In older Durham 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 offer generator installation in Durham?
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.
