Bathroom Electrical in Ranchos de Taos, NM

Remodeling a bathroom in Ranchos de Taos? 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 Ranchos de Taos bathrooms have no exhaust fan at all, or one that vents into the attic. We vent fans properly to the outside.

Why Ranchos de Taos properties call a local electrician

Ranchos de Taos 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.

Depending on your address, power in Taos County typically comes from Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

We provide bathroom electrical work throughout Ranchos de Taos and in nearby Taos, El Prado, Carson, and Vadito.
