Electrical services in Waterbury, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Waterbury — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Waterbury electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Waterbury 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 Waterbury and west Waterbury 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 Waterbury customers say
Ceiling fans in three bedrooms, one with no existing box. They braced it properly rather than hanging it off the drywall. No wobble.
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.
Whole house surge protector after we lost a TV and a router to a spike. Sensible advice, quick install.
Electrician in Waterbury — questions we get asked
Do you offer 24 hour emergency electrician service in Waterbury?
Yes. The phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and there is an on-call crew covering Waterbury 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.
Can you upgrade an old electrical panel in Waterbury?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in Waterbury. 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.
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.
How do I book an electrician in Waterbury?
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.
What areas around Waterbury do you cover?
All of Waterbury plus the neighbouring towns — Wallingford, West Haven, Southbury and the rest of New Haven County. We cover every city and town in Connecticut, so if you are just over a town line you are still inside our service area.
Do you pull permits for electrical work in Waterbury?
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.
