Electrical services in Ellington, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Ellington — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Ellington electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Ellington 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 downtown Ellington and east Ellington 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 Ellington 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.
Electrical inspection before we bought a house here in Ellington. Detailed report, photos, and a realistic repair number we used in the negotiation.
Office fit-out — new sub panel, data runs, LED retrofit across the suite. They worked evenings so the staff never lost a day. Invoice matched the quote exactly.
Electrician in Ellington — questions we get asked
How much does an electrician charge in Ellington?
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 Ellington?
Yes. Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors and other EVSE units, including the load calculation to confirm your panel can carry it. Most Ellington 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 Ellington 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 Ellington address?
True emergencies in Ellington 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.
Do you offer generator installation in Ellington?
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.
Do you offer 24 hour emergency electrician service in Ellington?
Yes. The phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and there is an on-call crew covering Ellington and the surrounding Tolland 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.
