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.

2 weeks ago ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ChargePoint Level 2 Install Absolutely insane experience — this install deserves every like, every thumbs up, and a top spot among Google’s best reviews. The team was fast, clean, and ultra‑efficient. The wiring looked pro‑grade flawless, and with them the extra mile is the starting line. My ChargePoint Level 2 charger is a total powerhouse and my garage looks upgraded. If you want a home EV setup that screams premium, this is it. Guaranteed thumbs up. Thank you Scott!
3 weeks ago PowerPlus was fantastic. We had an emergency on a holiday weekend after a storm damaged the electrical service to our house and left the house without power. I called late in the evening on a Sunday, and they were able to get someone out first thing the next morning. They immediately understood the issue from the utility company’s documentation, handled the damaged service and meter equipment efficiently, and had everything repaired and power restored within a few hours. Communication was excellent throughout, and everyone I dealt with was professional, responsive, and reassuring during a stressful situation. Really impressed with how quickly they mobilized, especially on a holiday. I would absolutely recommend PowerPlus for electrical work!
a month ago 100% recommend Scott at PowerPlus Electric. We had an unexpected power outage over the weekend and after reaching out to Scott, we had a plan, he arrived and was able to diagnose and fix the problem in just one hour. Communication was very clear and he even checked with us ahead of time to make sure our main electrical breakers were accessible (in condo electrical room) before charging us for the visit. We plan to use his local company for future electric work and look forward to connecting with Scott again.
2 months ago They came super fast, did the work just as quickly, and were very friendly!
2 months 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!!
