Electrician in Amherst, NH
Voted Manchester, NH Top Plumbing Company
- High Quality
- Customer Service Focused
- 20+ Years Experience
Amherst’s colonial and Federal-era homes around the Village green are some of the most charming in the region, but their electrical systems were never designed for modern life. Two-prong outlets, undersized panels, and decades-old wiring are common in the older neighborhoods off Route 101, and even newer homes near Baboosic Lake can outgrow their original service.
LHR Plumbing and Heating gives Amherst homeowners electrical work they can rely on, from careful repairs to complete panel upgrades that bring a home safely up to date.
Electrical Repair & Troubleshooting
Electrical problems in Amherst homes often hide behind the walls for years before they show themselves. A breaker that trips when the dishwasher and microwave run together, an outlet that no longer holds a plug, or lights that flicker in a storm are all signs worth taking seriously. Our team troubleshoots the root cause instead of treating symptoms.
We repair faulty wiring, failing breakers, dead circuits, and overloaded panels, and we test our work before we leave. You get a clear explanation of what failed and what we did to fix it, with no guesswork left behind.
Electrical Installations & Upgrades
As Amherst families invest in their homes, their electrical needs grow with them. Whether you are finishing a basement, adding a room, or preparing for an EV, the right electrical foundation matters. Our installation and upgrade work includes:
- Service panel upgrades to 200 amps and beyond
- Dedicated circuits for kitchens, hot tubs, and workshops
- EV charger installation for the driveway or garage
- Whole-home generator wiring for winter storm outages
- New wiring for additions, remodels, and finished spaces
Every upgrade is planned around your home’s real demand and finished to current code.

We also protect what you already have, with whole-home surge protection and thorough safety inspections that catch small hazards before they become expensive ones. Pairing this with our plumbing and HVAC service means your entire home stays in trusted hands.
A Recent Electrical Job in Amherst, NH
When Mark bought an older home near the Amherst Village green, he noticed the lights browned out whenever the well pump kicked on. We found the original panel was undersized and dangerously full, with a few circuits doubled up on single breakers. We installed a properly sized panel, separated the overloaded circuits, and gave the well pump its own dedicated line. The browning stopped, and Mark’s home finally had room to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most electrical projects that involve new circuits, panel changes, or rewiring require a permit and inspection in New Hampshire. Our team handles the permitting process for you and makes sure the work passes inspection, so you never have to navigate the paperwork on your own.
Common signs include breakers that trip often, a panel that feels warm, reliance on power strips, or a home still running on 100 amps. If your house is several decades old or you are adding major appliances, an upgrade is often worth it. We can inspect your panel and give you a straight answer.
Not always, but older wiring types can become a hazard as they age, especially when connections loosen or insulation breaks down. Two-prong outlets also leave modern electronics unprotected. A safety inspection tells you exactly what is safe to keep and what should be updated.
Yes. We install home EV charging circuits sized for your vehicle and your panel’s capacity. In some cases a panel upgrade is needed first to support the added load, and we will let you know upfront if that applies to your home before any work begins.
Yes. Electrical emergencies like burning smells, sparking outlets, or a total loss of power should never wait. We offer fast emergency response for Amherst homeowners and will make your home safe before the problem has a chance to get worse.
