TJ was great. He installed an outlet behind a piece of art and hooked it up to a remote instead of adding an outlet. Services: Electrical outlet & switch installation, Light fixture installation, Electrical outlet & switch repair

As a local home inspector who has inspected several thousand homes in Fairfield County over the years, I have come to appreciate the quality of electrical work I typically find when I come across a "Chestnut Electrical" sticker on the electrical panel. So when I ran into an electrical issue [a back feed on a circuit I had shut-off power to] in my own home that had me stumped, they were the first and only call I made.
Despite a busy schedule, they were able to get Scott out to my house relatively quickly. I appreciated Scott's obvious knowledge and expertise as he investigated the issue, and when it was determined that the repair would require a return trip, Nick at Chestnut was great about following up w/me to get it scheduled. Scott came back out early morning, and before I even finished getting kids off to school, he had completed the repair and upgraded the circuit to modern safety standards. Considering how often I find electrical issues in homes I inspect, I truly appreciate competent and professional electrical work when I find it. Thank you to Scott, Nick and all the folks at Chestnut for your expertise and excellent customer service.

Had called Chestnut to have an outlet installed in the garage for an EV charger and they were very responsive. They asked for pictures to ensure they understood the work needed to be done. Rich Darinzo showed up on time and took his time explaining the details of the work. He did a great job and was very friendly and professional. I would recommend Rich and Chestnut Electric for anybody looking to have electrical work done.
