Local knowledge for Mescalero, Otero County
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Mescalero means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Otero County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Most properties in Otero County get their electricity from PNM or Otero County Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
Call us for electrical inspections anywhere in Mescalero, or in nearby Bent, Ruidoso, Alto, and Ruidoso Downs.
