Electrical services in Watertown, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of Watertown — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a Watertown electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in Watertown 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 Watertown town line and the north side of Watertown 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 Watertown customers say
Knob and tube in the attic, which every inspection flags around here. They rewired the second floor in stages so we could stay in the house. Fair price, honest sequencing.
Breaker kept tripping every time the dryer ran. They found a nicked conductor behind the wall rather than just swapping the breaker like the last guy did. That is the difference.
Kitchen remodel wiring — appliance circuits, under-cabinet lighting, island outlets. On schedule with the cabinet fitters, which never happens.
Electrician in Watertown — questions we get asked
Do you pull permits for electrical work in Watertown?
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 Watertown?
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 Watertown, including evening and overnight work so you do not have to close during trading hours.
Do you offer 24 hour emergency electrician service in Watertown?
Yes. The phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and there is an on-call crew covering Watertown and the surrounding Litchfield 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.
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.
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 install EV chargers in Watertown?
Yes. Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors and other EVSE units, including the load calculation to confirm your panel can carry it. Most Watertown installs are a single-day job. If capacity is tight we will tell you before you buy the charger, not after.
