Why Watrous properties call a local electrician

In the high country around Watrous, electrical systems have to handle freezing winters, summer thunderstorms, and long rural service runs. Thick adobe walls and historic construction make wiring work slower and call for careful planning.

Most properties in Mora County get their electricity from Mora-San Miguel Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
