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 Repair in Eastern Connecticut
Generator repair in Hartford County means more than fixing a unit that won't start. It means making sure your system is ready before the next Nor'easter or ice storm cuts power to your home. Hartford County's inland climate brings cold winters, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy moisture. These conditions stress generator batteries, fuel lines, and transfer switches in ways that warmer regions don't see. O'Connell's Electrical Contractors diagnoses the root cause first. We check battery condition, inspect the automatic transfer switch, test fuel delivery, clear blocked vents, and run the unit under load. If your generator is showing a fault light, failing to start, or shutting down mid-run, we identify the specific failure point and fix it correctly. We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Hartford County. If your generator hasn't been tested under real load conditions recently, now is the time to call O'Connell's and get it checked.
