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 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.

You supply the charger — Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, or any brand — and we handle the dedicated circuit, wiring, breaker installation, and mounting. We also assist with CT utility and state rebate paperwork. Labor typically runs $350–$1,200.
Learn more about EV charger installation in CT →Connecticut averages several significant storm outages per year and demand for whole-home standby generators has increased steadily since Sandy. We handle transfer switch installation, generator circuit wiring, and utility coordination. We work with Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and any other brand. Pricing for the electrical work typically runs $3,000–$15,000.

All labor is covered by a one-year workmanship warranty. We accept cash, check, and credit card.
We are Google Guaranteed — meaning Google has verified our license, insurance, and background — and we maintain a 4.9-star rating across 129+ Google reviews. We do not use subcontractors for our core electrical work.
