Last 6 months: 8 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A recent customer said Konopka Electric installed a new Briggs and Stratton 26kvw generator. A recent customer had a standby generator installed by the company's electricians. The company's own site lists industrial, commercial and residential electrical work, including panel upgrades, EV chargers and lighting installation, and says it has been in business 30 years. A recent customer said Konopka Electric completed a home service upgrade, left the house clean of debris, and later came back to install a new bathroom fan and light. A recent customer said the company took care of the many issues with a generator bought from another company, then replaced it quickly. A recent customer said the company worked with their mortgage lender to get paperwork completed on time. A 2025 customer described an upgrade from 100 to 200 amps: Jim Konopka assessed the work on a Wednesday afternoon and the crew performed the upgrade Friday morning, cleaned up and checked that fixtures and appliances worked before leaving. A 2025 customer said the crew came on a Sunday afternoon of a holiday weekend to resolve an outage that had left the house with no heat. A 2024 customer said a mouse had chewed through wiring, and the company diagnosed it the same afternoon and made the repair behind the wall at a fair price. A 2022 customer said Jim arrived in less than 45 minutes for an emergency panel repair on a Sunday morning. A 2023 customer gave four stars and called the company a little high priced compared to similar companies. A 2022 customer said the person who answered the phone was impatient and rude, and went to another business. On Google it holds 4.9 stars from 70 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. It holds an active Connecticut E1 electrical licence, ELC.0122063-E1, under James A Konopka. **Strengths:** - Standby generator installs — recent customers had generators installed - A 200-amp upgrade — a 2025 customer said it was done two days after assessment - Sunday emergency call — a 2022 customer said Jim arrived in under 45 minutes **Concerns:** - Higher-than-average pricing — a 2023 customer called it a little high versus similar companies - Phone manner — a 2022 customer said the person answering was rude ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Recent customers had standby generators installed _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21GM1N6RnFOVEJDVDFSc01UTldWRVJZWkd0dFVrRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xf68e5e54ca536d32!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmF3SzFqNTBCT1RsMTNWVERYZGttUkE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Konopka Electric LLC has done a very good job installing our new Briggs and Stratton 26kvw generator.
