Our Story
The story of West Electric begins with a simple belief: excellence in electrical work comes from combining time-honored craftsmanship with innovative solutions. Founded by Ed West, a master electrician with deep family roots in the trade, our company was built on a foundation of integrity, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.
Ed's journey into the electrical trade was inspired by his father, who dedicated over four decades to the industry. Watching his father work with precision and pride, Ed learned early on that electrical work isn't just about connecting wires-it's about creating safe, reliable systems that power people's lives and businesses.
A Foundation of Excellence
After graduating at the top of his class from Howell Cheney Technical School, Ed spent years honing his craft on job sites across Connecticut. From small residential repairs to complex commercial installations, he gained the experience and expertise that would become the cornerstone of West Electric.
Building a Legacy
With over twenty-five years of hands-on experience, Ed founded West Electric to bring together the best of both worlds: the meticulous attention to detail learned from generations of electricians, and the cutting-edge knowledge needed for today's renewable energy and smart home technologies.
Today, West Electric stands as one of Connecticut's most trusted electrical contractors, serving homeowners and businesses throughout the region. Our team combines Ed's decades of expertise with fresh perspectives and the latest training, ensuring we can handle everything from traditional electrical work to the most advanced solar and EV charging installations.
Our story continues to unfold with every project we complete and every customer we serve. We're not just electricians-we're partners in powering Connecticut's future, one installation at a time.
