Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A recent customer said New England Electrical Contracting has handled everything from outlets and TV mounts to their whole home generator. The company describes itself as a residential electrician, says it has 20 years in business, and its own site lists Newtown among the towns it serves. A 2026 customer said Michael fixed their ATS for 10% of the cost of a swap another company had planned, after finding insect damage inside it. A 2024 customer said the generator's transfer switch failed, and that Mike diagnosed the problem within an hour and stayed late to install a new control module. A 2025 customer said Michael picked up late on a Friday night after the power blew and showed up in 30 minutes. That 2025 customer said his team later installed recessed lighting, smoke detectors and ceiling fans. In a 2023 review, a customer said Mike and his team put a charging station in their garage for a Tesla. A 2024 customer said Mike and his assistant replaced the lights in their pool without draining it. A 2022 customer who hired the company for a 24 KV whole home generator said Mike was unresponsive and installed the generator at an unsuitable spot for the gas lines. That 2022 customer said the project took a year. In a separate 2022 review, a customer objected to a $175 charge for a 15-minute visit about a pool light. A 2020 Angi reviewer objected to a $165 service fee and a second $115 fee to come back and finish the job. A 2025 customer said the work was good and the price reasonable, but that the company would not waive a late fee. **Strengths:** - Generator troubleshooting — a 2024 customer said Mike diagnosed it within an hour - A late-night response — a 2025 customer said Michael arrived in 30 minutes - An ATS repair — a 2026 customer said Michael fixed it after finding insect damage **Concerns:** - Generator placement — a 2022 customer said it went at an unsuitable spot - A $175 visit charge — a 2022 customer objected to paying for 15 minutes - A late-fee dispute — a 2025 customer said a late fee was not waived ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Describes itself as a residential electrician with 20 years in business _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://newenglandelectricalct.com) — “Self-reported 20 years in business” - [Official Website](https://newenglandelectricalct.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Residential Electrician Custom Lighting Installation Electrical Service Upgrades Landscape Lighting Ceiling…” - A recent customer said the company handled outlets, TV mounts and a whole home generator _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tKMU0xVm5TRTV3ZUdRNUxUaHRVR1JFZEhWbWRsRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x59c5c06dd9fad07a!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkJ1M1VnSE5weGQ5LThtUGREdHVmdlE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I have been using NE Electrical for years now.
