If you live in Berwick or South Berwick, the closest full service electrical shop is not in Portland or Sanford. It is right across the river. Loyal Lab Electric & Generators is headquartered in Somersworth, minutes from the Berwick bridge, and we hold a Maine electrical license, so working on your side of the border is normal Tuesday work for us, not a special trip.
Berwick and South Berwick sit at the far edge of most Maine companies’ territory, and for us they are the first towns over the bridge. That difference shows up in how fast the phone gets answered and how fast a truck shows up. These towns tend to get overlooked, not because nobody can work here, but because for most outfits the drive does not make sense. For us it is under five minutes. We carry Maine Electrician License MS60021263 alongside NH Master Electrician License 13956, we pull the Berwick and South Berwick permits directly and handle the town inspection process, and this corridor is some of the closest territory we serve in either state.
We are also the Seacoast’s authorized Generac dealer for whole home standby generator installations, and we handle panel upgrades, EV charger setups, troubleshooting, and everything in between. Every job comes with upfront pricing and a written scope of work before we start.
From panel upgrades in the small older neighborhoods and rural homes that make up most of what we see here, to EV chargers in the newer developments, here is what we handle for Berwick and South Berwick homeowners.

Every job we do is priced before we start. You see the number, you approve it, and that is what you pay. If we find something additional during the visit we quote it on the spot before touching anything. No surprises on the invoice.
Here is what sets us apart:
These are the issues we run into most often on service calls in Berwick and South Berwick. If any of them sound familiar, give us a call.
Undersized panels and 100 amp services are the most common thing we deal with here. Many homes in Berwick and South Berwick still run on 100 amp service, same as a lot of Maine and New Hampshire, and these homes were built when that was plenty. Add a heat pump, a home office, and an EV charger and that same service is maxed out. We do the upgrade and handle the Maine permitting.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels fail to trip during an overload. If your home still has one it is a fire risk, not an inconvenience. We replace them regularly, and if your panel is an older brand that is actually still serviceable, we will tell you that instead.
Breakers tripping repeatedly usually means a circuit is overloaded or there is a wiring issue that needs to be traced to its source. Our troubleshooting starts with the meter, not the parts bin: we test at the panel, isolate the circuit, and follow the fault to where it actually lives. Resetting the breaker and hoping is not a fix.
Ungrounded outlets and missing GFCI protection are code violations that come up constantly in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages in homes that have never had a full electrical update.
Panels without the capacity for an EV charger. A Level 2 charger is often the biggest single circuit in the house, and the real question is whether your service can feed it alongside everything else. Our charger quotes include that assessment, so if panel work has to come first you hear it as a number up front, not a surprise mid job.
Aging generators that have turned into money pits. A standby generator past its prime starts costing more to keep alive than it is worth. We recently replaced a Generac in Eliot that was over fifteen years old and eating repair money every season. The new unit ended the repair cycle and came with the full 10 year bumper to bumper warranty, which as an authorized Generac dealer we register on every install. If you are pouring money into an old unit, we will give you the honest math on repair versus replace.
Loyal Lab Electric & Generators is based in Somersworth, and the bridge puts us in Berwick in under five minutes. That is closer than we are to most of the New Hampshire towns we serve, which is why South Berwick has quietly become one of the towns where we have completed the most work in either state. Panel and meter socket replacements, smoke and carbon monoxide installs, portable generator interlocks, service upgrades, and full projects, all on this side of the river.
What we see here is mostly small older neighborhoods and rural homes, with some newer developments mixed in. A lot of these houses are still running the 100 amp services they were built with, and the work is the same honest work we do everywhere: bring the electrical up to what the home actually carries today, priced upfront before we start.
The Rusty Fund donates $10 from every completed job and $100 from every generator installation to local dog rescues, including the Pope Memorial Humane Society in Dover. When you hire Loyal Lab in Berwick you are supporting a business from right across the river, not a franchise two hours away.
Most service calls in Berwick and South Berwick are scheduled same day or next day. Our shop is in Somersworth, and the bridge puts us in Berwick in under five minutes, so response times here match our core New Hampshire towns. For emergencies we prioritize getting there as quickly as possible.
Yes. We serve Berwick, South Berwick, Eliot, and North Berwick, along with our full New Hampshire service area including Somersworth, Rochester, and Dover.
Most panel upgrades run between $1,500 and $4,500 depending on the size of the panel, the condition of the existing service entrance, and whether permits and inspections are required. We quote every job upfront before any work begins.
Yes. Loyal Lab Electric & Generators holds NH Master Electrician License number 13956 and carries full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. We pull all required permits and schedule inspections for every job that requires them.
We offer free estimates for larger projects like panel upgrades, generator installations, and EV charger setups. For service calls and troubleshooting, there is a service call fee but any work required beyond that will be quoted for free before any repairs begin
Yes. We hold Maine Electrician License MS60021263, pull the Maine permits directly, and handle the town inspection process in Berwick and South Berwick from start to finish.
This usually means you have lost one leg of your electrical service, at the panel, the meter, or the utility connection. It is not something you can fix yourself and it needs professional diagnosis. Call us and we can usually get there same day or next day.
We are an authorized Generac dealer and install Generac whole-home standby generators. We also provide ongoing maintenance and service for existing Generac generators. Rochester and the surrounding area experience enough winter storm outages that a standby generator is one of the best investments you can make for your home
The Rusty Fund is our charitable initiative supporting local dog rescues, including the Pope Memorial Humane Society in Dover. We donate $10 from every completed job and $100 from every generator installation. It is named after Rusty, the yellow lab who inspired everything Loyal Lab stands for.
