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 Recessed Lighting Installation in Hartford County, CT
Recessed lighting installation is one of the most requested electrical upgrades for Hartford County homeowners. O'Connell's Electrical Contractors handles installs in kitchens, living rooms, hallways, and finished basements, placing fixtures to deliver even, practical light without cluttering your ceiling. Many Hartford County homes were built decades ago and carry older wiring that needs assessment before new circuits are added. We check your panel capacity and existing wiring before any fixture goes in. We run new circuits where needed, cut clean openings, and wire every fixture to current Connecticut electrical code. Retrofit installs work in most existing ceilings without major ceiling damage. New construction layouts are planned from the rough-in stage. Hartford County's mix of older Colonials, Cape Cods, and multi-family homes means no two jobs are identical. We scope each project to your home's actual layout and electrical condition.
