Electrical services in Preston, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Preston — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Preston electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Preston 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 east Preston and west Preston 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 Preston customers say
Two dead circuits in a rental I own in Preston. They diagnosed, repaired, and sent me photos for my records the same day. Tenants happy, no follow-up call needed.
Burning smell from an outlet at eleven at night. I called, they told me exactly which breaker to shut off while they drove over, and killed the problem in an hour. Genuinely calm and helpful on the phone.
Retail unit needed emergency lighting and exit signs sorted for an inspection deadline. Two days notice and they made it happen.
Electrician in Preston — questions we get asked
Do you install EV chargers in Preston?
Yes. Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors and other EVSE units, including the load calculation to confirm your panel can carry it. Most Preston installs are a single-day job. If capacity is tight we will tell you before you buy the charger, not after.
Can you help with a home inspection or closing deadline in Preston?
Yes. We do pre-purchase electrical inspections with a written report and photos, and we handle inspection punch-lists for Preston 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 pull permits for electrical work in Preston?
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.
What should I do right now if I smell burning near an outlet?
Stop using anything on that circuit, switch off the breaker feeding it if you can identify it safely, do not pull the outlet apart, and call (833) 652-8933. Tell the dispatcher it is a burning smell and it goes straight to the emergency queue. If you see smoke or flame, call 911 first.
Do you offer generator installation in Preston?
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.
Can you rewire a house without tearing it apart?
Mostly, yes. In older Preston 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 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.
