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 Generator Installation in Hartford County, CT
Generator installation in Hartford County means connecting a standby system directly to your home's electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch. When utility power drops, the system senses the outage and starts on its own. No extension cords. No running outside in a storm. Hartford County and the broader central Connecticut region face ice storms, nor'easters, and heavy snowfall that regularly knock out power for extended periods. Older homes across towns like West Hartford, Manchester, and Bloomfield often need a panel assessment before a generator can be added safely. O'Connell's Electrical Contractors handles the full electrical scope of the installation, from transfer switch wiring to panel connections, so every part of the system is code-compliant and ready when you need it.
