Bathroom Electrical in Playas, NM

Remodeling a bathroom in Playas? We wire it to current code and make it more comfortable to use, with good light at the mirror and a fan that actually clears the steam.

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 Playas bathrooms have no exhaust fan at all, or one that vents into the attic. We vent fans properly to the outside.

  • GFCI outlet installation
  • Dedicated 20 amp bathroom circuits
  • Exhaust fan installation and replacement
  • Vanity, mirror, and shower lighting
  • Heated floor and towel warmer circuits

Bathroom upgrades worth making

  • No fan, or a loud fan that does little
  • Poor light at the mirror
  • Cold tile floors in winter

Local knowledge for Playas, Hidalgo County

The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Playas means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Hidalgo County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.

Most properties in Hidalgo County get their electricity from PNM or Columbus Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
