My name is Saul and I'm an extremely satisfied customer and I would like to share my experience with you. As a home owner and a real estate agent in NY and CT I get in contact with a number of service men and women plumbers, painters, electricians etc.. Rarely do I write reviews however, given Ray's hard work I had to reach out to you as I feel he needs to be recognized for his excellent work.

That being said I reached out to Chestnut for two electrical items we wanted done. The first to install four digital thermostats and updating our back up generator switch box and cables. Let me tell you Ray didn't disappoint. Thermostat were difficult to address, but Ray never stopped trying to make them work. Instead Ray saw it as a challenge and didn't stop until the thermostat were working. Since being installed in December we have not had a single issue with the devices. Once again, a true testament to Ray's hard work and attention to detail. What also makes him stand out from the crowd is that he is knowledgeable, informative, thorough, trustworthy and personable. Ray embodies the word professional. It doesn't stop there as Ray also switch out an old Switch box and cable in extremely cold conditions and showed me how connect and operate the backup gen system. Murphy's law - never lost power this entire winter. I'm not complaining about that!

I must also recognize Nick who was extremely helpful throughout the process coordinating dates and times. As well as answered a number of questions to get the proper items before Ray arrived. Nick was great!

Chestnut Electric helped me when I had an emergency situation with a fuse continually shorting which coincidentally was to the refrigerator. It was just after hurricane Ida hit the tri state area and electricians were booked. Chestnut was really responsive and the technician was very helpful- checked out all possibilities and changed the fuse. Really great service.

Very happy with Chestnut Electric, who replaced several lights in our new home. They were very responsive by email form the get-go, and the electricians were on time, prepared, friendly, and clean. Thank you!

Super helpful and very prompt. Had a problem w circuit panel they worked on a few years ago. I sent them a photo of the switches and they instantly knew the fix. They saved me a service call and a big headache. Great service!

For years my Uncle in New Canaan, CT has been talking about transforming his basement into a home theater. I honestly never thought it would happen, but this past winter he finally put his money where his mouth was. He chose Chestnut Electric Corporation out of Wilton to do the electrical work including installing brand new wiring and putting in recessed theater lighting complete with custom dimmers.

They were courteous and professional from the initial estimate to completion of the project which was finished on schedule.

I couldn't believe the transformation. He screened Die Hard over Christmas break and I seriously felt like I was out at the movies (the popcorn helped!) My Uncle only had the best things to say about these guys and would've written this review himself, but calling him internet-resistant would be putting it lightly.

Incredibly overpriced! Charged over $2,200 to repair a chandelier! Recommend looking elsewhere for good service in the area.

Thank you Chestnut Electric for saving the day! During a recent extended power outage that impacted my business they came out on short notice to help bridge power and adapted my electric panel for generator hookup while we waited restoration. The service was courteous, professional and thorough. They maintained excellent communication during process and we were up and running within 4 hours. The price was reasonable and fair. They are big enough to handle last minute jobs yet small enough to provide exceptional customer service. Thank you so much Nick, Manny & Thor!!!
