PowerPlus Electric & Communications LLC is a licensed electrical contractor based in West Haven, CT. We've been servicing homes and businesses across Fairfield and New Haven Counties since 2011 (licensed since 2004) — a stretch that covers everything from the coastal communities of Fairfield, Westport, and Stratford to the inland towns of Waterbury, Shelton, and Newtown. Our license is CT E1 #197810. We are Google Guaranteed and carry full liability and workers' compensation insurance.
Our service area covers two of Connecticut's most densely populated counties, with housing stock that ranges from 1920s Colonials and Cape Cods to new construction. That variety drives the range of work we do: aging panels that need upgrading before insurance companies pull coverage, knob-and-tube wiring in older homes that needs proper circuit additions, EV chargers going into garages of newer homes, and whole-house generators becoming a standard investment after every significant storm season.
Panel upgrades are the most common major electrical job we handle. Connecticut's housing stock is old — panels sized for 1960s loads simply can't support modern demand. Insurance companies often decline to renew policies on Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels. We handle 100A, 200A, and 400A service upgrades and coordinate directly with your utility for disconnect and reconnect scheduling.

We also assist with CT utility and state rebate paperwork. Labor typically runs $350–$1,200.

a week ago They came super fast, did the work just as quickly, and were very friendly!
3 weeks ago Scott saved the day! Knowledgeable, efficient, courteous! What was supposed to be a reputable company left my brand new central ac in a shambles & not working after I paid them thousands to install it. Scott came on a Sunday as an emergency repair during the horrible heat wave days ago. When he left my ac was pumping away as it should! Full inspection. Licensed, professional. Thank you Scott!!
2 months ago We had a major electrical issue and needed emergency service fast. The electrician was able to quickly diagnose the problem and explain everything clearly to us. He worked with us every step of the way and replaced our electrical panel efficiently and professionally. He was speedy, detailed, and extremely knowledgeable. The quality of work was excellent, and you could tell he truly cared about doing the job right and making sure everything was safe. We really appreciated his professionalism, communication, and quick response during a stressful situation. Highly recommend to anyone needing reliable electrical work!

2 months ago I needed help with a light fixture in my closet, and Scott was fantastic. He diagnosed the issue while talking to me over the phone, arrived on time, and got it working in no time. He was polite, super friendly, professional and even gave advice on the best bulb type for the space. Highly recommend him. Will definitely call him again.
