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 Maintenance in Eastern Connecticut
Generator maintenance keeps your standby system ready when Hartford County loses power. Severe storms, ice events, and summer wind damage regularly knock out electricity across the county, and a generator that hasn't been serviced may not start when you need it most. At O'Connell's Electrical Contractors, our licensed electricians inspect and service standby generators for homeowners and businesses throughout Hartford County. A full maintenance visit covers oil and filter changes, spark plug inspection, battery testing, transfer switch operation checks, and a load test to confirm the unit runs under real demand. Connecticut's mix of older residential properties and newer developments means generators often sit in tight side-yard installations, exposed to seasonal temperature swings and moisture. We account for those conditions on every visit. Whether your unit runs on natural gas or propane, we document each service call so you have a clear record of your system's history. Call O'Connell's Electrical Contractors to schedule your generator maintenance in Hartford County today.
