Electrical services in New Canaan, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of New Canaan — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a New Canaan electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in New Canaan 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 north side of New Canaan and New Canaan Center 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.

Electrician in New Canaan — questions we get asked
Do you pull permits for electrical work in New Canaan?
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.
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 work on both homes and businesses in New Canaan?
Both. On the residential side we do repairs, panel upgrades, rewiring, lighting, EV chargers and generators. On the commercial side we handle offices, retail units, restaurants, warehouses and small industrial spaces in New Canaan, including evening and overnight work so you do not have to close during trading hours.
Can you help with a home inspection or closing deadline in New Canaan?
Yes. We do pre-purchase electrical inspections with a written report and photos, and we handle inspection punch-lists for New Canaan 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 New Canaan?
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 New Canaan?
Yes. Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors and other EVSE units, including the load calculation to confirm your panel can carry it. Most New Canaan installs are a single-day job. If capacity is tight we will tell you before you buy the charger, not after.
