Electrical services in Guilford, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Guilford — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Guilford electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Guilford 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 Guilford and the Guilford 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 Guilford customers say
Tesla Wall Connector plus a panel load calculation because I wasn't sure we had capacity. Turned out we did. They could have sold me an upgrade and didn't.
Retail unit needed emergency lighting and exit signs sorted for an inspection deadline. Two days notice and they made it happen.
Level 2 charger in the garage. Two other outfits in Guilford quoted me a range and got vague about the panel. Daniels gave one number, added the breaker, and I was charging the same afternoon.
Electrician in Guilford — questions we get asked
Can you upgrade an old electrical panel in Guilford?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in Guilford. 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 Guilford?
Yes. The phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and there is an on-call crew covering Guilford and the surrounding New Haven 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 Guilford?
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.
How fast can an electrician get to my Guilford address?
True emergencies in Guilford 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.
Can you rewire a house without tearing it apart?
Mostly, yes. In older Guilford 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 install EV chargers in Guilford?
Yes. Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors and other EVSE units, including the load calculation to confirm your panel can carry it. Most Guilford installs are a single-day job. If capacity is tight we will tell you before you buy the charger, not after.
