Why Garfield properties call a local electrician
In southern New Mexico's desert, Garfield 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.
Most properties in Dona Ana County get their electricity from El Paso Electric. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
