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 Eastern Connecticut
Generator installation in Hartford County means more than setting a unit on a pad. O'Connell's Electrical Contractors handles every part of the job: load calculation, concrete pad placement, transfer switch wiring, fuel line coordination, and code-compliant electrical connections. Hartford County towns each enforce their own permitting requirements, and every standby installation requires electrical and building permits pulled by a licensed electrician. We manage that process from filing through final inspection so you do not chase paperwork. Hartford County sees repeated storm-driven outages from Nor'easters, summer thunderstorms, and ice events that knock out Eversource service across multiple towns at once. A properly installed standby system detects a grid failure and switches your home to backup power automatically. Your HVAC, refrigerator, sump pump, and medical equipment stay on without you lifting a finger. Call O'Connell's Electrical Contractors to schedule a site assessment and get a written scope for your Hartford County property.
