It’s estimated that 46% of New Hampshire homeowners source their water from a private well. With private wells being so ubiquitous, we can often take for granted the machinery that allows freshwater to be constantly pumped to our home, anytime we want.
A well pump breakdown can spell disaster for your well-being and health, which is why at Heritage Home Service we maintain a dedicated team of professionals with all the equipment they need to deal with all types of well pump services. Whether you need a replacement, repair, or maintenance, our team is ready to serve you any time of the year.

Well Pump Replacement and Maintenance Services in NH
New Hampshire Well Pump Replacement
We understand the disruption to your life a well pump failure can cause. We make it our number one priority to arrive at your home as quickly as possible and begin our work in replacing your pump the very same day. With our specialized pump pulling equipment, we can have your pump pulled and replaced in a single day in most cases. After your pump is replaced, our technicians treat your water and will give you instructions on what to look out for in the days following replacement. With Heritage, you can trust we will do everything in our power to get your water restored as quickly and safely as possible.
Why You Might Need a Replacement Well Pump
If you think about all the work your well pump has to do each day to bring you freshwater, it’s no wonder they don’t last forever. Like all mechanical equipment, wear and tear cause components to begin to break down. This is especially true of well pumps which are constantly submerged in water and exposed to all types of conditions underground. While obvious signs like no water to the home are an indicator of a problem, smaller issues like inconsistent water pressure that wasn’t there before, or “rusty” discolored water, could all be signs of a pump beginning to fail.
Well Pump Maintenance in New Hampshire
As the owner of a private well, you are responsible for its operation and the health of your water. Well pumps should receive an annual inspection by a licensed well technician to ensure proper operation, and to inspect the general health of your well, such as checking the water levels and ensuring adequate water flow to your home. Your water should also be checked for the presence of harmful bacteria and treated accordingly.

When my AC quit suddenly, Heritage came in a timely fashion and did an excellent job. The four gentlemen who helped me were professional and knowledgeable. Joe diagnosed the problem and was very thorough in explaining the cost of repair versus replacement. Bobby, Harrison and the electrician Liam did the replacement and were wonderful to work with. They explained the process carefully, answered all my questions and completed the job efficiently and quickly. I would certainly call the company again for any HVAC, plumbing or electrical needs. Thanks Heritage!

First time using Heritage, as two other plumbers I’ve used in the past gave me long lead times. Heritage answered my call personally, and scheduled me same day-amazing considering it was a Saturday! I had a leaking outdoor spigot, and given the drought, waiting a week to fix it was out of the question. The technician sent out, James Shallow, could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and personable. He showed up on time, did the job seamlessly and without issue. He spent time educating us as to how to avoid this problem in the future, and it was a genuinely pleasant experience. I will most definitely use & recommend Heritage again (request Jimmy).

Alex came to fix a water main leak at my home which was pre-manufactured in the late eighties. He found and fixed the leak quickly. After the job was complete I spoke with him about the cause because this is the third time in a year with a leak. He spent the time with me explaining the material used for piping in my place and checked the water pressure. The pressure was on the high end and we both concluded between pressure spikes and old plastic pipes. I asked for an estimate to replace all the pipes. He was able to give me an estimate on the spot and found financing with very reasonable terms. Two days later Heritage Home Services was here with two trucks and completely changed out the piping in a day. In short. This place answers the phone. Gets technician on the job quickly. Great knowledge. Cleaned thoroughly before leaving.

We called several plumbers and I got “we are too busy” and “it’s too small of a job”. Not with heritage though! They were able to get us on the schedule in a timely manner and helped us with our plumbing issue. Thank you Zach! Zach was quick and professional! Will definitely use again!

I’ve dealt with Heritage for many years because of their dependability. They are not the cheapest, for sure, but if you need a plumbing or HVAC system installed or serviced/repaired, there’s none better. I needed repairs to be done on slim duct covers that were damaged after having siding installed on my home. I called Heritage because they were the company that installed the original mini-split system in my house several years earlier. John Lindonen and another technician (unfortunately, I don’t remember his name) showed up as committed and did the repair work. They were very thorough, explaining every issue to me and answered all of my questions. They were polite, and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to my family or friends.

The AI interactive was ok but screwed up my ph# so never got a call. However, Camile arrived and spent time discussing my points and activities performed, helped me tremendously and ultimately didn’t need service. He was professional, informative, and transparent so Heritage, please acknowledge his great service!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the signs that my well pump needs repair or replacement?
Common signs include low water pressure, sputtering faucets, air in the water lines, frequent cycling of the pump, unusually high electric bills, and discolored or sandy water. If your well pump runs continuously without building pressure or fails to turn on at all, contact Heritage for a professional diagnosis.
-
How long does a well pump typically last in New Hampshire?
Most well pumps last between 8 and 15 years depending on the type of pump, water quality, usage patterns, and how well the system has been maintained. Submersible pumps tend to last longer than jet pumps. Heritage can inspect your current system and advise whether repair or replacement is the better option.
-
What types of well pumps does Heritage install?
Heritage installs and services both submersible well pumps and jet pumps for New Hampshire homes. Our licensed plumbers will assess your well depth, water table level, and household demand to recommend the right pump type and size for your property.
-
Does Heritage offer emergency well pump service in New Hampshire?
Yes. A failed well pump means no running water in your home, so Heritage treats well pump failures as urgent service calls. Contact us as soon as you notice a loss of water pressure or a complete loss of water supply and we will work to restore your system as quickly as possible.
