We are a locally owned electrical contracting company based in Somersworth, just minutes from downtown Dover. Our licensed master electricians and trained team handle everything from same-day troubleshooting calls to full panel replacements, whole-home generator installations, and EV charger setups.

Every job comes with upfront flat-rate pricing, a written scope of work, and a satisfaction guarantee. No surprise charges, no vague estimates. You know what you are paying before we start.
Our team is trained to identify additional safety concerns during every visit.

Dover has a mix of housing stock that creates unique electrical challenges. Many homes near the downtown core, along Central Avenue, and in the Back River neighborhood were built in the early 1900s and still have original wiring, undersized panels, or outdated fuse boxes. Newer construction off Exit 9 and around Dover Point tends to have modern panels but often needs additional capacity for EV chargers, hot tubs, or home additions.
We see these Dover homes every week and know what to expect when we open a panel. That experience means faster diagnostics, accurate quotes, and fewer surprises during the job.
Here is what sets us apart:
After hundreds of service calls across Dover, we have seen the same issues come up again and again. If any of these sound familiar, give us a call:
Flickering or dimming lights are one of the most common calls we get from Dover homeowners, especially in older homes along Silver Street and the Sawyer Mill area. This usually points to loose connections, an overloaded circuit, or an aging panel that cannot keep up with modern demand.
Breakers that trip repeatedly often mean a circuit is overloaded or there is a deeper wiring issue. We trace the problem to its source rather than just resetting the breaker and hoping for the best.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are still in homes throughout Dover. These panels were recalled decades ago because they fail to trip during an overload, creating a serious fire risk. If you have one, replacement is not optional, it is a safety priority.
Insufficient panel capacity is increasingly common as Dover homeowners add EV chargers, heat pumps, and home offices. A 100-amp panel that was fine 30 years ago may not cut it today. We can upgrade you to 200 amps or more to handle current and future demand.
Ungrounded outlets and missing GFCI protection show up in older Dover homes that have never had a full electrical update. These are code violations and genuine safety hazards, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages.

Loyal Lab Electric is not just a company that works in Dover. Dover is part of our story.
Our owner Eric had his first date with his wife at The Thirsty Moose on Central Avenue. His son is a regular at the Dover Children’s Museum. Every fall, you can find our team at the Apple Harvest Day Festival with a booth, meeting neighbors and talking shop. We are proud members of the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce and actively involved in the local business community.
We also partner with the Pope Memorial Humane Society right here in Dover through our Rusty Fund initiative. For every completed job, we donate $10 to support local dog rescues, and $100 for every generator installation. The fund is named after Rusty, the loyal yellow lab who inspired our company name and the values we bring to every job.
When you hire Loyal Lab Electric, you are not just getting great electrical work. You are supporting a business that puts money back into the Dover community.
Most service calls in Dover are scheduled same-day or next-day. For emergencies like a panel failure or burning smell, we prioritize getting to you as fast as possible. Dover is only about 5 minutes from our shop in Somersworth, so response times are quick.
Yes. Our shop is in Somersworth and we serve the entire Dover area including Madbury, Rollinsford, Barrington, Durham, and Newmarket. Dover and the surrounding towns are our core service area.
We use flat-rate pricing so you know the cost before we start. A standard service call and diagnosis starts at a set rate, and any additional work is quoted upfront before we proceed. No hourly surprises.
Yes. Loyal Lab Electric & Generators holds a New Hampshire and Maine Master Electrician license and carries full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. We also 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
In most cases, yes. Fuse boxes are outdated technology that cannot safely support modern electrical loads. They also make it difficult to get homeowners insurance at reasonable rates. We can replace your fuse box with a modern breaker panel, typically in one day.
We are an authorized Generac dealer and install Generac whole-home standby generators. We also provide ongoing maintenance and service for Generac generators. Dover and the surrounding area experience enough power outages, especially during winter storms, that a standby generator is one of the best investments you can make.
Most electrical work beyond basic outlet or switch replacement requires a permit in Dover. We handle all permitting and schedule the required inspections with the City of Dover building department so you do not have to.
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.
