I recently hired O’connell’s electric for a complete service upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp, along with some additional wiring. From start to finish, the work was executed to the highest professional standard—clean, precise, and fully code-compliant. What truly stood out was Michael’s exceptional approach to the job. He was incredibly polite and courteous, took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process, and answered all of our questions in clear, easy-to-understand terms. The upgrade was completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to our home, and the final result is outstanding. Beyond the technical expertise, he is simply an excellent human being—patient, respectful, and genuinely caring about doing the job right. I felt completely confident and well-informed throughout the entire project. I highly recommend Michael from O’Connell Electric to anyone needing electrical work. Professional, trustworthy, and truly top-tier. We will definitely use their services again and will be referring them to family and friends. Thank you for the outstanding work!

Expert AC Circuit Wiring in Eastern Connecticut
AC circuit wiring is a core service O'Connell's Electrical Contractors delivers throughout Hartford County, CT. We install, replace, and upgrade the dedicated circuits that power air conditioning systems in residential and commercial properties. Hartford County includes a large share of older homes, many built before modern AC loads were standard. Those properties often run undersized or overloaded circuits that trip breakers, cause flickering lights, or create heat buildup at the panel. We assess your existing panel capacity, run properly sized wiring to the AC disconnect, and connect everything to current Connecticut electrical code. Our work covers new AC installations, unit replacements that require a circuit upgrade, and panel-side corrections for systems that were wired incorrectly. Every connection is inspected before we leave. If your AC keeps tripping a breaker or your system won't hold power, contact O'Connell's Electrical Contractors to schedule a circuit assessment in Hartford County.
