Electrical Panel Upgrade for La Jara homes and businesses

La Jara sits in the high desert of central New Mexico, where strong sun, wide swings between day and night temperatures, and summer monsoon lightning are hard on wiring, breakers, and outdoor equipment. Many homes here cool with evaporative coolers or have converted to refrigerated air on panels that were never sized for it.

Most properties in Sandoval County get their electricity from PNM or Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.

We provide panel upgrades throughout La Jara and in nearby Counselor, Regina, Cuba, and Lindrith.
