Lancaster sits on the Nashua River south of Leominster, with a historic town center, older homes along its main roads, and farms and wooded lots further out. Houses here range from very old colonial-era and 19th-century homes to mid-century and newer construction.
In historic homes, electrical upgrades take extra care: plaster walls, finished trim and limited access mean planning routes for new wiring rather than cutting freely. On rural properties, the jobs are often outbuildings, well pumps and generators.

Lancaster questions
Asked in Lancaster.
Short answers to what people in Lancaster ask most. More in the full Q&A.
Sparks, a burning smell, a hot panel or half the house dark? Turn off the breaker or the main if it’s safe to do so, then get an electrician out. For fire or smoke, get out and call 911. For a downed line, stay clear and call your utility.
Can you rewire an old Lancaster home without tearing up the plaster?
Usually much of it can be done through attics, basements and closets, with small, planned openings where needed. We plan the routes first and tell you up front where patching will be required.
Who is my electric utility in Lancaster?
Check the name on your electric bill. Whoever it is, we coordinate service upgrades and meter work with them and with the town's electrical inspector.
Do you serve Lancaster from Leominster?
Yes. Lancaster borders Leominster to the south, so it is well within the area we serve.
