Why Caballo properties call a local electrician
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Caballo means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Sierra County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Electric service in Sierra County is typically provided by Sierra Electric Cooperative or a municipal utility. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
We provide panel upgrades throughout Caballo and in nearby Truth or Consequences, Elephant Butte, Arrey, and Derry.
