Outdoor lights that quit, a corroded panel, a garage outlet for an electric car: these are the jobs people call Chestnut Electric Corporation for. Its website names a service area that includes Wilton, Ridgefield, Redding, Stamford and Rye, and the company says it has been in business 4 years. A recent customer said a first electrician could not find why their outdoor lights stopped working. Jacek and Mike came two days later, found a buried junction box that was falling apart within the first 30 minutes, and replaced it. A recent customer said Scott, Reese and Max removed two old chandeliers and installed two new large ones. A 2026 customer said Scott and Dennis replaced a corroded electrical panel and several light fixtures, then came back free of charge to add a breaker for a hot tub. A 2026 customer wrote that Nick came out to quote the job, and Scott and Adrian installed a 240 outlet in the garage and three fixtures, replaced an exhaust fan and relocated a socket in a few hours. A 2025 customer said the company ran everything out to the garage for an electric-vehicle outlet and came back 7 months later to finish it at no extra cost. A 2023 customer said Nick called back right away on the after-hours hotline after a power outage left the house without heat, and worked through the problem over the phone. A 2022 customer said Nick quoted a 6-week wait for a home generator, declined the smaller outlet jobs, and, after a lightning strike shorted their well pump and left the house with no water, replied that he had 10 emergencies in front of them. Connecticut lists its electrician licence, ELC.0199620-E1, as active, held by Chestnut Electric Corp.
Had a great experience with Tony and his team. Quick response, transparent pricing and Ray the technician was incredibly knowledgable and thorough. Would use again in a heartbeat!
Our outdoor lights stopped working. We could not figure out why. After I spent some time trying to fix it myself, I called Chestnut Electric. The first electrician could not figure out where the problem was. He said they had somebody else in the office who was really good with outdoor lighting. Jacek and Mike came two days later. They found where the problem was within the first 30 minutes. There was a buried junction box that was falling apart. They replaced it. They replaced another one next to one of the lights. Right now everything is working the way it should. Thanks guys.
Scott, Reese and Max removed two old and installed two new large chandeliers for us. The entire crew was professional, responsive and worked with us the creatively tackle a rather challenging job. We highly recommend for future lighting/electrical work.
Great experience using Chestnut Electric for our outside lighting upgrade. Instead of starting from scratch - the team recommended replacing lighting - which brought the project costs down. Dennis did the install - great service, efficient work time and answered all our questions.
Scott was here today and was super. Solved our issue and laid out options for next steps.
