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!

Emergency Electrical Service FAQ
Common questions about emergency electrical service in Eastern Connecticut.
Any situation with a burning smell, sparking outlets, visible arcing, or a sudden loss of power to part of your Hartford County home is an electrical emergency. These signs point to a fire or shock risk that needs a licensed electrician right away.
Yes, if you can do so safely, turn off your main breaker at the panel to stop electrical flow and reduce fire risk while you wait. Do not touch any sparking wires or outlets in your Hartford County home.
Yes, we respond to emergency panel failures throughout Hartford County, including breakers that won't reset, warm or buzzing panels, and panels showing scorch marks. Many older Hartford County homes run panels that were not designed for today's electrical demand.
Yes, Connecticut storms can send voltage surges through home electrical systems, damaging panels and connected equipment. If your Hartford County home loses power or shows signs of surge damage after a storm, call a licensed electrician before restoring power yourself.
Partial power loss in a Hartford County home often points to a tripped breaker, a dropped phase, or a damaged connection at the meter. Check your main panel first, and if no breaker is tripped, call O'Connell's Electrical Contractors rather than attempting a fix yourself.
Yes, a burning smell from any outlet or electrical component in your Hartford County home signals overheating wiring and requires immediate attention from a licensed electrician. Do not use the outlet and avoid the area until a professional has assessed it.
