Bathroom electrical work
Bathroom outlets need GFCI protection and a 20 amp circuit, and fixtures over tubs and showers must be rated for the location. Many older El Prado bathrooms have no exhaust fan at all, or one that vents into the attic. We vent fans properly to the outside.

Local knowledge for El Prado, Taos County
El Prado is in New Mexico's high country. Long heating seasons, snow, and winter storms put steady demand on electrical systems and make outages more than an inconvenience. Older adobe and territorial-style buildings in Taos County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.
Electric service in Taos County is typically provided by Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
Our bathroom electrical work covers all of El Prado, along with neighboring Taos, Arroyo Seco, Ranchos de Taos, and Arroyo Hondo.
