Connecticut Electrical Services: FAQs

Common questions from Connecticut homeowners and business owners.

Is West Electric licensed in Connecticut?
Yes. West Electric holds Connecticut electrical contractor license ELC.0197545-E1 and home improvement contractor registration HIC #0671418. Both are current and verifiable through the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.
Do you handle 100A to 200A service upgrades?
Yes - and 200A to 400A as well. Service upgrades are one of our most common jobs. We coordinate with Eversource or United Illuminating for the meter swap, pull all permits, and handle inspection. Most residential upgrades are completed in a single day.
Do you serve both residential and commercial customers in Connecticut?
Yes. We do residential wiring, lighting, panel work, pool and hot-tub wiring, and safety inspections on the residential side, plus commercial wiring, lighting, service upgrades, rooftop HVAC electrical, commercial generators, and commercial EV charging on the commercial side. Both sides are run by the same licensed CT contractor.
How fast can you respond to an electrical issue in Connecticut?
Same-day response when we can, next-day when we cannot. For urgent issues - sparks, burning smells, no power to part of the home - call (860) 428-7000 and our team will triage and dispatch. For true after-hours emergencies, call your utility first (Eversource 800-286-2000 or United Illuminating 800-722-5584) for safety, then reach out to us.
Do you offer free estimates in Connecticut?
Yes - free estimates on all residential and commercial work. Submit details at westelectric.energy/estimate or call (860) 428-7000 and we will schedule a site visit.
What financing options are available for larger electrical projects?
We work with Connecticut Green Bank's Smart-E loan program - electrical service upgrades, EV charger installs, and electrification projects all qualify - plus several solar-specialty financing partners. We help every customer figure out the right financing path.
