Why Santa Fe properties call a local electrician

Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.

Depending on your address, power in Santa Fe County typically comes from PNM or a rural electric cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

We provide battery backup installation throughout Santa Fe, including Eldorado, Downtown and the Plaza, the Railyard District, the Eastside, and Canyon Road. If you searched for an electrician near Eldorado or an electrician in Downtown and the Plaza, we are close by. We also serve nearby Tesuque, Glorieta, Tererro, and Lamy.

Battery Backup Installation FAQs for Santa Fe

How long will a battery run my Santa Fe home?

It depends on the battery's size and what you run. One battery typically carries lights, refrigeration, and electronics through the night. Running central air needs considerably more storage.

Battery or generator?

Batteries are silent, automatic, and nearly maintenance-free, and are best for essentials. Generators deliver more power for longer as long as they have fuel. Some homes use both.

Do I need solar to have a battery?

No. A battery can charge from the grid. Solar lets it recharge during an extended outage.
