Hughes Electric

Forty-seven reviews since 2024, every single one five stars, and the same name keeps showing up: Sam. Hughes Electric is a one-crew electrical shop out of Manchester, New Hampshire, and the company says it's been at it for about a decade, working residential, commercial and industrial jobs across panel upgrades, generator installs, lighting and fire alarm work. The reviews read less like a marketing page than a running log of small, well-handled jobs — a kitchen ceiling light swapped out within two days, hallway and kitchen fixtures installed quickly, outlets added to a living room with a clear, transparent estimate. In one from July 2026, a homeowner had ethernet runs pulled through several floors of an antique house and called the crew's fix "clean, creative." In an earlier one, from May 2024, a homeowner described Sam designing and installing a solar array for a pond-side cabin, walking someone with no electrical background through the options. A pattern repeats across the two-plus years of reviews: arriving on time, itemizing the bill, and cleaning up before leaving. Recent activity backs that up — ten reviews in the last six months, none of them negative. Its New Hampshire electrician license (0721C) is active and checks out against the state registry. The company's own website also claims licensing in Maine and Massachusetts, but those weren't checked against either state's board, so it's worth confirming directly if the job crosses a state line. For a Manchester-area homeowner who needs a straightforward electrical fix or a one-off project like a generator hookup or a lighting upgrade, the record here is about as clean as they come — just confirm any out-of-state licensing before booking work outside New Hampshire.
