Why Homeowners in Amherst, NH Trust Us
Our tankless water heater stopped working right before Christmas leaving us with not only no hot water, but not even water to do laundry or run the dish washer.
So finding a good plumber, you can rely on, is different than finding a good plumber. When my family needed a plumber recently, LHR handled our call.
LHR got my service scheduled immediately for 2 days out from the day I called. Cody, the technician, showed up on time and was professional.
This is a completely professional organization start-to-finish. From my first phone call through the service to the follow-up, the LHR team treated me with kindness.
Cold call (literally!) from Hot Water Heater Manufacturer website. No prior relationship with them. No problem. Came same day. Tech friendly and knowledgeable.
Plumber in Amherst, NH
Amherst is one of those towns where a 250-year-old colonial can sit a mile from a house built last year. Around the village green in Amherst Village, historic homes have plumbing that has been updated in pieces over generations, often with old pipe tucked into cold stone foundations. The 1970s and 80s brought wooded subdivisions where original water heaters and copper lines are now showing their age. Around Baboosic Lake, former summer cottages turned year-round homes often have pipes in crawl spaces that were never meant for winter.
LHR Plumbing and Heating knows how to work with all of these homes. Our residential plumbing team brings the right tools and know-how to every Amherst job.
Plumbing Repair & Troubleshooting
Most Amherst homes rely on private wells, sit on rocky ground, and face a long, cold winter, which shapes the problems we see here.
- Frozen lines are a real risk in converted lake cottages and older homes with pipes running through crawl spaces.
- Hidden leaks can make your well pump run constantly and wear it out early.
- Slow or backed-up drains often build up over years in older homes and lines leading out to the yard.
- Failing water heaters collect mineral sediment from hard well water and lose efficiency.
- Aging pipes inside historic homes can corrode, crack, or lose pressure.
We go after the cause of the problem, not just the symptom, and we test our work before we leave.
Water Heater Installations & Upgrades
Many Amherst homes were built for smaller households and simpler kitchens, and well water can be tough on a standard tank. When it is time for a new one, we can install a properly sized tank or upgrade you to a tankless water heater that delivers hot water on demand. Financing plans are available to make it easier.
Planning something bigger? From restoring an older home to adding a bathroom or finishing a basement, we can plan your piping and hot water for the whole house. Every project is done to current code.

Frequently Asked Questions
