TJF Electric is based in Willington — not a billing address, an actual shop with Tyler’s truck parked outside.

CT-licensed, fully insured, and backed by a 10-year written workmanship guarantee on every job.
Electrical Services in Willington, CT
Six services cover roughly 95% of what Willington homes need. If your job doesn’t fit neatly into one of these — hot tubs, pool wiring, surge protection, EV-load calculations, septic-pump circuits — call. We still do it.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Willington homes built before the 1970s are often still on 100A or even 60A service. We swap to a 200A/400A panel in a single permitted day — and meet the Willington building inspector ourselves at the rough-in and final.
Generac & Kohler Generator Installation
Tree-fall on overhead service drops along Route 32 and Route 74 makes whole-home standby installs the single most-requested Willington service we run. Authorized for both Generac and Kohler — sized to your panel and your actual load, not a sticker on a box.
24/7 Emergency Electrician
Lost power after a storm? Burning smell from a panel? Sparking outlet that won’t reset? Tyler answers nights, weekends, and holidays personally. No after-hours upcharge for Willington customers.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 home chargers — Tesla Wall Connector, JuiceBox, ChargePoint, Wallbox. Properly sized circuit, permitted install, and on-the-spot Eversource rebate paperwork.
Generator Service & Repair
Annual maintenance, load testing, transfer-switch troubleshooting. We service every brand we sell and most we don’t — including units installed by other contractors before they retired.
Residential Rewiring & Well-Pump Circuits
Knob-and-tube replacement on pre-1960 Willington farmhouses, dedicated 240V circuits for well pumps and septic systems, full-house rewires welcome. We handle the permits and inspector coordination.

Why Willington Homeowners Hire TJF Electric
Almost every other electrician advertising in Willington is dispatched from Hartford, New Haven, or Manchester and routes jobs through a contact center. TJF is the opposite of that model.
Tyler Lives and Works Here
TJF Electric is headquartered at 42 Pinney Hill Rd — not a billing address. Tyler is your neighbor, his truck is parked here, and the only person who shows up on a Willington service call is the same person whose name is on the permit.

Current general liability, workers’ comp, and CT electrical contractor license on every job. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector. No homeowner paperwork on you.
What's Specific About Wiring in Willington
Willington is rural, well-served, and storm-exposed — three things that shape almost every electrical job we run here. Here’s what we see on the truck.
Route 32 and Route 74 tree-fall corridor
Willington sits in the heart of Eastern CT’s ice-storm and tree-fall zone. Route 32 from south Willington up to Route 74, plus the side roads off Schofield, Tinkerville, and Lohse, are repeatedly hit during October–March storms. The cost of a whole-home Generac install ($12,000–$17,000 here) is typically less than the freezer-load loss and frozen-pipe damage of a single multi-day outage on a well-served property.
Pre-1960 farmhouses and Pinney Hill–era homes
The streets around Pinney Hill, Crystal Lake (the Willington side), Schofield Rd, and Willington Hill still carry a meaningful share of pre-1960 housing. Knob-and-tube wiring, fuse-box panels, and undersized 60A services are still common finds. CT homeowner-policy underwriters increasingly require these to be replaced — we handle the panel-and-wiring combination on a single permit.
Well pumps need dedicated 240V circuits
Most Willington properties are on private well, not town water. The single most important generator-related question we get asked here is whether the well pump will run during an outage. The answer is yes — if the transfer switch is wired correctly to a dedicated well-pump circuit. We size, label, and test the well circuit on every Willington generator install.
UConn-adjacent rental properties
South Willington and West Willington landlords renting to UConn students need to meet a higher bar of code compliance — AFCI/GFCI coverage, smoke and CO interconnection, properly grounded outlets. We do landlord-side rental inspections and bring properties up to current code before tenant turnover.

Willington Electrical FAQ
Are you really based in Willington?+
Yes — TJF Electric’s headquarters is at 42 Pinney Hill Rd, Willington, CT 06279. The truck is parked here, the permits are pulled here, and Tyler answers every call. We have additional service points in Ellington, Vernon, and Willimantic to shorten response times across Eastern CT, but Willington is the HQ.
How fast can you get to a Willington address for an emergency call?+
Most Willington emergency calls are responded to within 30–60 minutes. If Tyler is mid-install when you call, we’ll give you a real ETA, not a “sometime today” window. Willington customers are first in the queue — it’s our home town.
Will my home insurance drop me over a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel?+
Increasingly, yes. FPE Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels have a documented history of breakers that fail to trip during faults, and most CT homeowner-policy underwriters now flag them at renewal inspection. A one-day 200A swap is almost always cheaper than fighting the carrier.
What does a whole-home Generac install actually cost in Willington?+
Most Willington whole-home installs land between $12,000 and $17,000 installed for a 22kW or 24kW unit, depending on gas line length, panel upgrade requirements, and how far from the meter the unit sits. We quote the all-in installed price — no “generator-only” pricing that hides the install. If your panel needs an upgrade to support the transfer switch, we do both on the same permit and the same day.
Do you do work for landlords renting to UConn students?+
Yes — South Willington and West Willington landlords are some of our regular customers. We do rental-property code-compliance inspections, AFCI/GFCI retrofits, smoke and CO detector interconnection, and the panel/wiring upgrades needed to renew rental certificates. Quotes are landlord-friendly (we work around tenant schedules).
Do you offer financing on bigger projects?+
Yes — we have financing available for panel upgrades, whole-home generators, and full-house rewires. The application is on our /financing-available/ page and decisions are typically same-day.
Are you Generac Authorized? What about Kohler?+
Both. We’re authorized to install and service Generac and Kohler standby generators. Authorized dealer status means manufacturer training, factory parts pipeline, and warranty registration handled correctly the first time.

What We See in Willington
Eight out of ten Willington calls we run come back to one of three things: a Route 32 service-drop knocked down by tree-fall, a pre-1960 fuse panel that an insurance underwriter flagged at renewal, or a homeowner who just put a deposit on an EV and needs a Wall Connector circuit. The next Willington calendar week typically has at least one of each.
