What homeowners say
Vesta’s read
Santella is a large, established shop, but the reviews narrow to a single recurring reason customers stay: a technician named Tony. He's the one people credit for quoting transparently, measuring twice, moving furniture to protect a home, and finishing whole projects in a day — lighting inside and out, camera installs, smart switches, fast emergency fixes. The critical minority is honest and worth knowing: a project manager's temperament drew a couple of pointed older reviews, a few customers disputed troubleshoot charges, and one had an unresolved water-in-panel problem. None of it touches the field techs, whose work is praised consistently, and pricing reads as a little high but 'not out of line.' For a homeowner who wants a polished crew and asks for Tony, the depth of repeat business here speaks loudly.
Summarized by Vesta from public reviews · analyzed June 2026 — Vesta’s own wording, not the business’s, and never a copy of any single review.

What to check before you hire
Vesta’s plain checklist for electricians. General guidance about the trade — not a claim about this business.
Confirm the CT license and the permit
Electrical work runs under a Connecticut E-class license, and most jobs need a permit and inspection. Both protect your home and your insurance.
Don't shop on price alone
The cheapest panel swap or rewire can skip grounding, AFCI/GFCI protection, or proper load math. Ask exactly what is included to code.
Name the scope
Panel size in amps, circuits added, fixture vs. rough-in work, and who patches the walls should all be written down before work begins.
Match the pro to specialty work
EV chargers, generators, and solar tie-ins each have their own requirements. Confirm hands-on experience with your specific job.
