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 EV Charger Installation in Hartford County, CT
O'Connell's Electrical Contractors provides EV charger installation throughout Hartford County, CT. We handle the full scope of work, from assessing your home's electrical capacity to running a dedicated 240-volt circuit and mounting the charging unit.

We evaluate your panel first, so you know exactly what your home needs before any work begins. Outdoor installations account for Connecticut's winters, with weather-rated enclosures and GFCI-protected circuits used where required.
