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 Testing in Hartford County, CT
Generator testing confirms your standby system will actually work when the power goes out. For homeowners and businesses across Hartford County, that matters. Connecticut's nor'easters, summer thunderstorms, and ice storms knock out utility power with little warning. A generator that sits idle most of the year can develop weak battery voltage, voltage regulator drift, or transfer switch faults that only show up under real load conditions. O'Connell's Electrical Contractors tests your generator under load, checks the automatic transfer switch operation, and verifies the unit produces stable output at the correct voltage and frequency. We serve Hartford County along with Windham, Tolland, New London, and Middlesex counties. If a problem surfaces during testing, you get a clear picture of what needs attention before the next outage hits. Call O'Connell's Electrical Contractors to schedule generator testing and know your backup power is ready.

Generator Testing FAQ
Common questions about generator testing in Hartford County, CT.
A weekly self-test runs the engine lightly but does not confirm the generator can carry your home's full electrical load. Load testing in Hartford County conditions reveals faults that short idle-run cycles simply cannot expose.
A load test verifies that your generator produces stable voltage and frequency when carrying real electrical demand. It also confirms the automatic transfer switch moves power correctly between the utility source and the generator.
Annual testing is the standard practice for standby generators in Hartford County, where seasonal storms create frequent outage risk. Testing before the fall storm season gives you the best window to address any issues found.
