Most panel upgrades, generator installations, EV charger installations, and major rewiring projects require a permit from the Exeter Building Department. New Hampshire's electrical code mandates permits for this class of work to ensure inspections happen and the installation meets current safety standards. When you hire Mr. Electric of Southeast NH, we handle the permitting process before work begins. You don't need to file paperwork or coordinate with inspectors. We take care of it so the job is fully documented and code-compliant from start to finish.

New Hampshire requires all practicing electricians to hold a current state license issued through the New Hampshire Electrician's Licensing Board. You have the right to ask any electrician for their license number and proof of liability insurance before work begins. We provide both without hesitation. You can also verify license status independently through the state licensing board's online lookup. Hiring an unlicensed electrician voids your homeowner's insurance coverage for any related damage and creates code compliance problems if you sell the property.

A thorough inspection covers your wiring condition, panel capacity and labeling, outlet and switch operation, grounding systems, and compliance with current electrical codes. Our electricians check for signs of faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, improper connections, and any GFCI outlet failures in wet areas. The process typically takes one to two hours, depending on the size and age of your home. At the end, you receive a clear summary of what we found, what needs attention now, and what to monitor going forward. Keep your inspection records. They're useful for insurance documentation and future property transactions.

Knob and tube wiring was the standard for residential electrical installation from the late 1800s through approximately the 1940s. It uses ceramic knobs to anchor wires and ceramic tubes to route them through framing. The system lacks a ground wire, which means it doesn't meet current NEC requirements and poses real shock and fire risks when paired with modern electrical loads. Exeter homes built before 1950 frequently still have knob and tube wiring in portions of the house, sometimes hidden behind finished walls. Our electricians identify it during inspections and provide a complete replacement using modern grounded wiring that meets current code.

A whole-home surge protector installs at your main electrical panel and intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your circuits. Power surges originate from lightning strikes, utility grid switching, and large appliances cycling on and off. A single large surge can destroy electronic equipment, smart home products, and appliances in seconds. Individual plug-in surge strips only protect the devices connected to them. A panel-level device protects everything on every circuit simultaneously. Our electricians install surge protection that meets UL 1449 standards and test the device after installation to confirm it's active and properly connected.

New construction and major renovation projects require a full rough-in electrical installation, which includes running wire, setting boxes, and installing the panel before walls are closed. We coordinate with your general contractor and the Exeter Building Department to schedule inspections at the correct phases of the project. Services include panel installation, dedicated circuit layout, outlet and switch placement, recessed lighting installation, EV charger rough-in, and whole-home surge protection. We also handle smart home wiring for systems that require low-voltage runs. Every installation is inspected and tested before the project moves to the next phase.
