Electrical services in Salem, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Salem — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Salem electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Salem 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 Salem and east Salem 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 Salem customers say
Old aluminium wiring in a 70s house. Rather than a scare pitch, they explained pigtailing versus rewiring and let me choose. Ended up doing it in two phases.
Added six outlets and a dedicated circuit to my Salem workshop. Quoted flat, done in a morning, and they labelled the panel while they were in there.
Kitchen remodel wiring — appliance circuits, under-cabinet lighting, island outlets. On schedule with the cabinet fitters, which never happens.
Electrician in Salem — questions we get asked
Can you upgrade an old electrical panel in Salem?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in Salem. 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.
How much does an electrician charge in Salem?
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.
How do I book an electrician in Salem?
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.
Can you rewire a house without tearing it apart?
Mostly, yes. In older Salem 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 pull permits for electrical work in Salem?
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.
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 work on both homes and businesses in Salem?
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 Salem, including evening and overnight work so you do not have to close during trading hours.
