Ceiling Fan Installation in Ranchos de Taos, NM
A ceiling fan is one of the cheapest ways to stay comfortable through a New Mexico summer. National Electric NM provides ceiling fan installation in Ranchos de Taos, NM, whether you are replacing a light fixture, swapping an old fan, or adding one where there is no wiring.
Ceiling fan services
A fan must hang from a box rated to support it. An ordinary light fixture box is not. We install fan-rated boxes and bracing, use downrods sized for the ceiling height, and balance the fan before we leave. Ceiling fans also work well alongside the evaporative coolers many Ranchos de Taos homes use.

Why Ranchos de Taos properties call a local electrician
At elevation, Ranchos de Taos 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.
Most properties in Taos County get their electricity from Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
