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

Why Velarde properties call a local electrician
At elevation, Velarde sees cold winters, heavy snow on service lines, and lightning in the summer. Space heaters, heat tape, and well pumps work hard here, and many older homes were wired long before those loads existed.
Electric service in Rio Arriba County is typically provided by Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
