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. The team has expanded dramatically over the years, with over 20 employees on staff, all with the same vision- to be Connecticut's premier electrical contractor—recognized not just for exceptional workmanship, but for our role in shaping a more sustainable and energy-efficient future for our state.

West Electric - Solar install review

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Ed/Joe/Bob and the whole West Electric team. First - the plan/estimate they developed (Bob did that) was way lower than other competitors - because they didn't propose panels on the north face - which don't really do anything Second - West electric arranged with a roofing contractor to replace the roof and a very affordable cost Third - they managed to schedule everything and get eversource sign off before 12/31 to qualify for the 30% rebate Fourth - while they estimated that the offset might be in the 85% range (+/-) it looks like it's closer to 100%. Fifth - their warranty! so, great and timely service, very competitive pricing, and conservative estimate of savings! what's not to love
