Electrical services in Shelton, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Shelton — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Shelton electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Shelton 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 Shelton and the Shelton 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 Shelton customers say
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.
Called at 6am with no power to half the house and no tripped breaker. On site by 8. Corroded main lug. Explained, priced, replaced.
We run a small restaurant and could not close. They did our whole kitchen circuit rework overnight and we opened on time. No overtime charge either.
Electrician in Shelton — questions we get asked
Do you offer generator installation in Shelton?
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 Shelton address?
True emergencies in Shelton 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 Shelton 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 Shelton?
Yes. Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors and other EVSE units, including the load calculation to confirm your panel can carry it. Most Shelton installs are a single-day job. If capacity is tight we will tell you before you buy the charger, not after.
How much does an electrician charge in Shelton?
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 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.
