Dedicated Circuit Installation for Elephant Butte homes and businesses

In southern New Mexico's desert, Elephant Butte summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.

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