## The honest read

JP Carter Electric, LLC is an electrical contractor that says it has been in business for 17 years and offers 24/7 emergency service. Joshua P Carter holds New Hampshire electrician license 12939, which is active on the state registry.

A 2026 customer came back from a vacation to find the display panel in their generator not working properly. That customer said Tom Garvin, one of the company's technicians, talked it over by phone, explained that a failed firmware update caused the malfunction, and walked them through setting up the generator's WiFi.

A 2023 customer said a new Generac 22kW standby generator blew its motor the first time it turned on. That 2023 customer said Tom took the machine apart twice at Generac's request, Megan kept after Generac so the claim was documented for the warranty, and after months of delays Generac sent a new generator, which JP Carter set up. A 2025 customer said JP was the only electrician who returned their call to service their generator, and that the pricing quoted was fair and honest.

A 2026 customer said that after an electrical incident in the house, the company could have charged for an emergency call but guided them along instead, and the co-op ended up fixing the issue for free. A 2026 customer who had trouble after another local electrician said JP scheduled someone within 3 days of the call, and that Caleb identified and resolved those problems plus a bigger issue in their workshop/shed.

A 2022 customer had an additional panel and a hook-up for a hot tub installed. That 2022 customer said Tim and Mike had to dig up part of the yard and move large rocks, and put everything back afterward.

**Strengths:**
- Generator service — a 2025 customer said they alone returned the call
- Warranty follow-through — a 2023 customer said they pressed Generac for a replacement
- A quick booking — a 2026 customer said someone came within 3 days
- Fair pricing — a 2025 customer said the quoted pricing was fair and honest
