Electrical Installation & Repair

Electrical work is not the place to cut corners — done wrong, it is a fire hazard, a code violation, and your problem to deal with later.

Electrical problems in a home are not something to guess your way through. A circuit that keeps tripping, outlets that stopped working, flickering lights, a panel that is out of capacity, or wiring that needs to be run as part of a remodel — each one of these requires someone with real experience who understands what is happening behind the walls. Hartford homes — especially older ones throughout the city and surrounding towns — often have electrical systems that have been added to, patched, and modified over the decades in ways that create real problems. At Fix It Up Home Improvement, we approach every electrical job by assessing what is actually going on before any work begins.

We handle residential electrical installation and repair throughout Hartford and the surrounding area — outlet and switch replacements, fixture installation, panel work, circuit additions, and full electrical rough-in for kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and basement finishing projects. Because we handle multiple trades in-house, our electrical work gets integrated into remodeling projects correctly — run in the right sequence, rough-in done before walls close, and finish electrical completed when the space is ready. No waiting on a separate electrician's schedule, no miscommunication between contractors, and no gaps in the work.

Electrical work done to code protects your home, your family, and the value of your property. Fix It Up is licensed and insured to handle residential electrical in Connecticut, and every job gets done to meet those standards — not just to pass a quick inspection. Call us for a free estimate and let us take a look at what your home needs.

What We Offer:

Outlet & Switch Installation and Replacement — Standard, GFCI, and AFCI outlets and switches installed or replaced throughout the home — correctly wired, properly grounded, and code compliant.
Light Fixture Installation — Ceiling lights, recessed lighting, bathroom fixtures, and exterior fixtures removed and replaced or newly installed with proper wiring and secure mounting throughout.
Circuit Addition & Breaker Work — New circuits added to the panel for kitchen appliances, bathroom outlets, basement finishing, and other areas that require dedicated power — done correctly at the panel level.
Electrical Rough-In for Remodels — New wiring roughed in for kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and basement finishing projects — run before walls close and ready for finish connections when the space is complete.
Panel Assessment & Upgrade Work — Existing electrical panels assessed for capacity, condition, and code compliance — upgrade work handled when the panel cannot safely support the home's current or planned electrical load.
GFCI & AFCI Protection Installation — Ground fault and arc fault protection installed in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and other required locations — bringing older Hartford homes up to current safety standards.
Electrical Troubleshooting & Repair — Tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights, and other electrical issues diagnosed at the source and repaired correctly — not just reset and left for the problem to come back.

Why Choose Fix It Up Home Improvement for Electrical Installation & Repair

Licensed & Insured — No Exceptions — Electrical work in Connecticut requires proper licensing and insurance. Fix It Up carries both on every job we take on. Unlicensed electrical work creates code violations, insurance problems, and safety hazards that become your responsibility as the homeowner — and we do not put our customers in that position.
Diagnosis Before Any Work Begins — Electrical problems are rarely exactly what they appear to be at the surface. A tripping breaker has a reason. Dead outlets have a cause. We find the actual source of the problem before we start working so the repair addresses what is really happening, not just the symptom that showed up.
Fully Integrated With Remodeling Scopes — Our electrical team works alongside our remodeling crew on kitchen, bathroom, and basement projects. Rough-in gets done at the right point in the project sequence, finish electrical goes in when the space is ready, and nothing sits incomplete waiting on an outside contractor to show up.
Code Compliance on Every Job — Every electrical repair and installation we complete meets current Connecticut residential electrical code requirements. That matters for your safety, for inspections, and for when you sell the home. Work that was done without permits or to the wrong standard creates real problems at closing.
Free In-Home Estimate — We come to your home, assess the electrical issue or project scope in person, and give you a clear estimate at no charge. Whether it is a single repair or full electrical rough-in for a remodel, you get honest numbers and a straight explanation of what the work involves before anything begins.
