Residential Electrical Services inSandown, NH

From a single outlet to an entire home, our licensed electricians handle the residential electrical work Sandown homeowners ask for most.

Electrical Troubleshooting & Repairs

Flickering lights, tripping breakers, dead outlets, and switches that no longer work all have a cause. We find it, explain it in plain language, and fix it safely.

Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades

Older 100-amp panels were not built for today’s EV chargers, mini-splits, and modern appliances. We upgrade 100-amp service to 200-amp so your home has the capacity and safety margin it needs, done right and up to code.

Fuse Box Replacement

Still running on fuses? We replace outdated fuse boxes with a modern breaker panel for safer, more reliable power.

Lighting Design & Installation

Recessed lighting, new fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, and outdoor lighting, installed cleanly and wired correctly.

Dedicated Circuits & Appliance Lines

Dryers, washers, ranges, workshops, and home offices often need their own circuit. We run properly sized lines so your equipment works safely without overloading the rest of the house.

EV Charger Installation

We install home EV chargers and check whether your panel can support one. If it cannot, we pair the charger with the right service upgrade.

Generator Installation

New England storms do not wait. We install generators sized to your home so lights, heat, and essentials stay on when the grid goes down.

Electrical Renovations & Code Corrections

Remodeling a kitchen, finishing a basement, or fixing work that did not pass inspection? We handle full electrical renovations and bring older wiring up to current standards.

New Home Wiring & New Construction

Dryers, washers, ranges, workshops, and home offices often need their own circuit. We run properly sized lines so your equipment works safely without overloading the rest of the house.

EV Charger Installation

We install home EV chargers and check whether your panel can support one. If it cannot, we pair the charger with the right service upgrade.

Signs Your Sandown Home Needs an Electrician

Electrical problems rarely fix themselves. Call a licensed residential electrician if you notice any of these:

Lights that flicker, dim, or buzz
Breakers that trip again and again
Outlets or switch plates that feel warm or look discolored
A burning smell near outlets, switches, or the panel
A fuse box or older 100-amp panel in a home that is adding an EV charger, mini-split, or generator
Outlets that only take two-prong plugs
Electrical work that failed a home inspection

If you see smoke or sparks, get everyone out and call 911 first. Then call us once it is safe.

When Should You Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?

Upgrade your panel when your home needs more power than it can safely deliver. That usually means breakers that trip often, a fuse box that is still in use, or plans to add an EV charger, mini-split generator, or major renovation to a home with 100-amp service. A licensed electrician can check your panel and recommend the right size, and moving from 100 amps to 200 amps is one of the most common upgrades we complete.

Planning to add heating or cooling too? Because Arete handles both electrical and HVAC, we make sure the circuit is sized correctly before the equipment goes in. Explore our HVAC services

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Arete Electric to installed ductless air conditioning and upgrade our electric panel. They quoted the job to be completed in 2 days, we could not believe that they completed the job in that time. They did not rush, the quality of the work was higher than expected, great team of electricians. Fully professional, and respectful of our home - thinking of details I wouldn’t have not have thought of, but now notice and appreciate. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have electrical or air conditioning installation

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If honesty, fair prices, transparency, empathy and integrity are what you are looking for in an electric/HVAC company, look no further than Arete Electric! I cannot recommend them more!
My very old heater broke in the coldest winter we’ve had in years. Another electrician I called recommended Arete Electric . Tom quickly got to work diagnosing and ordering a replacement heater and quoted me a price way below what I ever expected, and I’ve had to replace one in a previous house. This also included replacing a light switch and a doorbell.
Since the heater would be ready to pick up the next day, I would be without heat. Tom drove out to buy and install a couple of high quality space heaters to get me through the night. The next day, work was done efficiently and quickly and I have not had a problem since! I was so fortunate to find them, this is my electric/HVAC company for life!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Arete Electric to upgrade our electrical output from 100 to 200 amps this past summer in order to make our house compatible for a new central air system. We could not have been happier with this decision because not only did Tom and his crew do an amazing job at the electrical upgrade, but we were so impressed with the job they did, we ended up hiring them to install our central air system. Arete Electric was polite, prompt, professional and very knowledgeable in their craft. We couldn't be any happier with the work that Arete completed for us and we will definitely be using them for any further electrical jobs we may have in the future. Thanks again Tom

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased a heat pump system from a company that no longer works in residential systems.  I found this company from a social media request, and they’ve been fantastic.  I bring them in annually to inspect my system, and they’re always thorough and great to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Precise, prompt, and professional do not begin to express the wonderful experience I just had with Arete Electric and HVAC.  Having purchased an electric vehicle, I needed to have installed an EV charging station, outside my house and next to the driveway.   My anxiety was high, and my knowledge of electricity is limited to the shocks I get when touch the wrong wires.  To my pleasant surprise, the owner himself, Tom, made the initial service call and answered every question thoroughly to m satisfaction.  We set a date for the installation, and it went without a hiccup or issue.  He worked side by side his installers digging the trench, helping to run the wires, make the cement, and even cut and stained the post personally.   He rounds out his team with his wife who remained in constant contact with me, making sure that all my needs were met.  Arete Electric and HVAC has earned my vote as southern NH's best electric company.  Thank you, Tom, and team.  Doug Robinson, Derry

Residential Electrician FAQs: Sandown, NH

Who is the residential electrician near me in Sandown, NH?

Arete Electric & HVAC Services is a licensed, family-owned residential electrician based in Sandown, NH. We handle repairs, panel upgrades, lighting, dedicated circuits, EV chargers, generators, and new home wiring for homeowners in Sandown and nearby towns. Call 603-453-2537 for a free estimate.

What does a residential electrician do?

A residential electrician installs, repairs, and upgrades the electrical systems in your home. That includes wiring, outlets, switches, lighting, circuits for appliances, electrical panels, EV chargers, and generators. A licensed electrician also makes sure the work meets code and is safe.

How much does a residential electrician cost in Sandown, NH?

Cost depends on the scope of the job, the condition of your panel and wiring, and the materials needed. A small repair costs far less than a panel upgrade or whole-home wiring. We give free estimates and clear pricing before any work starts.

How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade?

You likely need an upgrade if breakers trip often, you still have a fuse box, or you are adding an EV charger, mini-split, generator, or major renovation to a home with 100-amp service. A licensed electrician can check your panel and recommend the right size, often a move from 100 to 200 amps.

Why does my breaker keep tripping?

A breaker that trips repeatedly usually means an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or a wiring problem. Unplug what is on that circuit and avoid resetting the breaker over and over. Call a licensed electrician to find the cause.

What are the signs of an electrical problem in my home?

Common warning signs are flickering or buzzing lights, warm or discolored outlets, a burning smell, frequent breaker trips, and outlets that only take two-prong plugs. If you see smoke or sparks, leave the area and call 911 first. For anything else, call a licensed electrician.

Can you install an EV charger at my home?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and check your electrical panel first. If your panel does not have the capacity, we tell you whether an upgrade is needed before the charger goes in.

How long does a residential electrical job take?

Simple repairs and fixture installs are often finished in one visit. Panel upgrades, renovations, and new wiring take longer and depend on the scope. After the on-site assessment, we give you a timeline with your quote.

Which towns near Sandown do you serve?

We are based in Sandown, NH 03873 and serve Danville, South Danville, Hampstead, East Hampstead, Kingston, Chester, Fremont, and Brentwood. We also serve surrounding communities across Southern New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts. If your town is not listed, call 603-453-2537.

Can one company handle both my electrical and HVAC work?

Yes. Arete Electric & HVAC Services is one licensed contractor for both trades. You get one point of contact, one schedule, and electrical circuits sized to match your mini-split, heat pump, or central air system.
