What Our Clients Are Saying About 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.
Some electrical problems can’t be scheduled for a convenient time. A breaker that won’t stay reset, sparking outlets, a burning smell with no visible source, or a sudden loss of power to part of your home are situations that call for an immediate response, not an appointment three days out.
LHR Plumbing, Heating & Air provides 24/7 emergency electrician services for Manchester homeowners. When you have an electrical problem that can’t wait, our certified technicians respond promptly, arrive prepared to diagnose the issue, and work to get your home safe and your power restored as quickly as possible.
When an Electrical Problem Can't Wait
Not every electrical issue is an emergency, but some situations call for an immediate call to a licensed electrician. Watch for these in your Manchester home:
- Burning smell from outlets, walls, or your panel
- Outlets or switches that visibly spark
- Breaker that trips immediately and won’t hold
- Sudden loss of power to rooms or circuits
- Buzzing or humming sounds inside walls
- Electrical shock when touching a switch or outlet
- Flickering lights paired with a burning odor
If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call anyway. A licensed technician can assess the situation quickly and tell you exactly what you’re dealing with. Don’t wait if there’s any chance of a fire hazard or shock risk in your home.
Emergency Electrical Work We Handle Around the Clock
LHR’s emergency electricians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for Manchester homeowners facing urgent electrical issues. We handle a wide range of situations, from panel failures and breakers that won’t reset to wiring faults, outlet failures, and loss of power to part of the home.
Many emergency calls involve situations where a homeowner has lost power to a portion of the house and can’t identify the cause. Our technicians arrive with the diagnostic equipment and replacement parts needed to address the most common emergency scenarios on the first visit.
We also respond when a routine repair reveals an unexpected hazard that needs to be addressed before the home is safe. If something serious comes up mid-job, LHR has the capability and the crew to handle it on the spot rather than leaving the situation unresolved.
Electrical Emergencies Manchester Homeowners Call Us About Most
Across Manchester homes, these are the situations our emergency team responds to most often:
- Tripped main breaker or panel failure
- Burning smell with no visible source
- Outlet or switch sparking on use
- Power loss following a storm
- Exposed or damaged wiring discovered
- Recurring circuit trips from overload
- Electrical shock from a fixture or appliance
Manchester’s mix of older triple-deckers and newer construction means the causes behind these emergencies vary widely. Older homes with aging wiring present different risks than recently built properties, and our technicians are trained to work with both. Whatever the cause, LHR responds with the right expertise to resolve it safely.
Steps to Take Before Your Electrician Arrives
If you’re dealing with an electrical emergency, the most important step is to stop using the affected circuits or outlets immediately. Do not continue resetting a breaker that keeps tripping, and don’t plug anything into an outlet that has sparked or feels warm to the touch.
If you smell burning or notice discoloration around an outlet or panel, turn off the circuit breaker for that area if it’s safe to do so. If you can’t identify the right breaker, shutting off the main breaker is the safer choice until a technician arrives.
Keep the area around your electrical panel clear and accessible so our technician can work efficiently from the moment they walk in. If you see smoke or any sign of fire, leave the home immediately and call 911 before reaching out to us.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Electrical Service
What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?
Situations that pose an immediate safety risk – burning smells, sparking outlets, visible arcing, power loss after storm damage, or electrical shock – are emergencies. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to call and let a licensed technician assess the situation rather than wait and hope it resolves on its own.
How Quickly Can LHR Respond to an Emergency?
LHR prioritizes emergency calls and dispatches a technician as quickly as possible. Response times vary based on time of day and current call volume. When you contact us, describe the issue clearly so we can gauge urgency and get the right technician to you fast.
Should I Turn Off My Main Breaker While Waiting?
If you smell burning, see sparking, or can’t identify which circuit is at fault, turning off the main breaker is the safest option. It won’t damage your electrical system and removes the risk of exposure to a live fault until our technician arrives.
Is Emergency Electrical Service More Expensive Than Regular Service?
After-hours emergency service may be priced differently than a standard scheduled appointment. LHR provides upfront pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know the cost before we start. Ask about current rates when you call so there are no surprises.
Can LHR Handle Emergencies in Older Manchester Homes?
Yes. Our technicians are experienced with the wiring configurations and panel types found throughout Manchester’s older housing stock, including homes with aluminum wiring, older breaker panels, and limited circuit capacity. We approach every job based on what’s actually in the home, not assumptions about what should be there.
