Why Alcalde properties call a local electrician

Alcalde 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 Rio Arriba County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.

Depending on your address, power in Rio Arriba County typically comes from Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

We provide panel upgrades throughout Alcalde and in nearby San Juan Pueblo, Embudo, Hernandez, and Velarde.
