Homes and wiring in Nashua

Older homes and multi-family houses near the mills can have knob-and-tube, cloth wiring and small services. Many homes heat with oil or gas, and owners adding heat pumps often need more capacity. Triple-deckers and duplexes near the old mill yards usually have a separate meter and panel for each unit, often in a shared basement.

Weather, seasons and the utility

Nashua winters are cold and snowy, and ice storms are the biggest outage risk: the December 2008 ice storm left much of New Hampshire without power, some homes for over a week. Nor'easters bring heavy snow and wind, and summer storms bring thunderstorms. Eversource serves Nashua and handles meters, service drops and reconnection.
