Residential Electrical Services for the North Country
Installation, repairs, upgrades and maintenance for homes throughout northern NH and VT.
From a single new outlet to a full addition, the electrical work in your home should be done cleanly, safely, and to code. Belknap Electric handles residential electrical projects across northern New Hampshire's North Country and Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, working out of our shop in Colebrook. We install receptacles and circuits, wire additions and basements, upgrade aging systems, and take on the everyday repairs that keep a home safe and functional.
A lot of the homes up here are older, and many have been added onto over the years. We are used to working in finished spaces, tight attics, and old basements without making a mess of the place. We show up on time, explain what we are doing and why, and leave the work area neat when we finish.

Built for North Country Homes
Homes across the North Country and Northeast Kingdom run the gamut from new builds to century-old farmhouses, and the wiring inside them is just as varied. A crew that works in these homes every day knows how to fish wire through old framing, work around finished plaster, and keep a home livable while the job is underway.
"Excellent experience from the beginning. Promptly returned my calls, and followed up every step of the way. Crew was on time, polite, professional, and neat. Propane heater fully installed in one day. I needed some minor electric work and they were able to complete that also. Highly recommended."

We handle the full electrical rough-in and finish work for additions, finished basements, garages and other new living spaces.
Can you upgrade the wiring in an older home?
We replace aging and overloaded wiring and bring older systems up to modern use, often as part of a panel upgrade or full rewire.

Yes. We wire smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and can add them as part of a larger project or on their own.
