Horton Electrical Services says it has been located in Canton, CT since its inception in 1977, serving public and private clients in all aspects of the electrical industry, and that it added Squirrel Enterprises, Inc. in 2015. It advertises 24/7 emergency service. A recent Google customer said Lee came to the house, walked through an electrical wish-list, estimated the time needed and gave a reasonable quote; two technicians then arrived on time and completed all the items set for that appointment. In a 2024 review, a customer with a partial power outage said Brian troubleshot with them by phone and advised it was most likely an Eversource problem, when he could have sent an electrician out at emergency rates; that 2024 customer later called back and said they arrived fast. A 2023 customer said Chris installed four standard outlets in a basement, showing up on time with the tools and supplies the job needed. A 2023 customer said the company had done a number of small and large electrical jobs around the home over the prior year at appropriate prices. A 2024 reviewer credited it with complex solar projects, conception to completion. A 2025 customer said an appointment to install a 220 line, booked well ahead to line up with an appliance delivery, was missed, and that when they called he said he forgot and had not written it in his book. A 2024 customer said a 10 AM visit to assess the work was a no-show, and that when they called the office Brian said the worker probably forgot and offered only to reschedule. Its Connecticut electrician licence, ELC.0192436-E1, is active under Warren A Horton.
Found my “go-to”electrician! Lee came to my house, did a walk-thru of my electrical “wish-list”, estimated the amount of time needed and provided a reasonable quote. An appt was scheduled to do the work, two technicians arrived on time and completed ALL up items that were designated for this appointment. Flawless execution, no issues with the completed work. I will use them again if I decide to move forward with some bigger projects!
Made appointment for 220 line to be installed. Lots of advance notice as electrical needed to coincide with delievery of appliance . Said he wrote it in calender when I booked. Never arrived at appointed time. Called him. "Oh sorry, I guess I forgot. I can't come today, got busy and I didn't write the appointment in my book" Don't know if he is a good electrician. He is a unreliable businessman.
Top shelf contractor with a solid team to handle complex solar projects, conception to completion.
I recently had A "partial power outage" (one leg was only 80 volts) at my home. When I called Horton to get emergency service, Brian took the time on the phone to do some troubleshooting with me and he advised that it was most likely an Eversource problem. He could have easily sent an electrician out and charged me emergency service rates, but he did the right thing. I did end up having to Call Horton back to get someone out here and they arrived fast. Their electrician was friendly and super helpful. In an age where companies are quick to grab your money, it's refreshing to see a company who is looking out for you. I truly appreciate the treatment and service I received from Horton Electrical Services! HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
I had a scheduled appointment at 10:00am for Horton electric to come to my house and assess the scope of the work needed. On a Friday morning. I rearranged my entire schedule to be at my house at 10 AM mid morning and it was a no-show. What really bothered me when I called the office, the guy Brian simply said, he probably forgot because he got busy? Would you like to reschedule it? They didn’t even attempt to call them and see if they were near my house , if somebody could swing by? I said so that’s it? You’re not going to look into it? Call him? See if he’s near? He just repeated would you like to reschedule? As if that was a solution? He’s probably busy and forgot? I can’t reschedule and give up another day of work to chance a no-show when it’s handled so unprofessionally? Very disappointing.
