Electrical services in West Hartford, CT
Daniels Electric Solutions covers the whole of West Hartford — residential repairs, planned installations, commercial fit-outs and 24-hour emergency work. Whether you are searching for a West Hartford electrician because a breaker will not reset, or looking for an electrical contractor in West Hartford 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 West Hartford and west West Hartford 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.

Retail unit needed emergency lighting and exit signs sorted for an inspection deadline. Two days notice and they made it happen.

Electrical inspection before we bought a house here in West Hartford. Detailed report, photos, and a realistic repair number we used in the negotiation.
Electrician in West Hartford — questions we get asked
Do you offer 24 hour emergency electrician service in West Hartford?
Yes. The phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and there is an on-call crew covering West Hartford and the surrounding Hartford 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 install EV chargers in West Hartford?
Yes. Level 2 home chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors and other EVSE units, including the load calculation to confirm your panel can carry it. Most West Hartford installs are a single-day job. If capacity is tight we will tell you before you buy the charger, not after.
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.
Can you upgrade an old electrical panel in West Hartford?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in West Hartford. 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.
Can you rewire a house without tearing it apart?
Mostly, yes. In older West Hartford 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 work on both homes and businesses in West Hartford?
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 West Hartford, including evening and overnight work so you do not have to close during trading hours.
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.
