Why Ruidoso Downs properties call a local electrician

Ruidoso Downs 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 Lincoln County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.

Depending on your address, power in Lincoln County typically comes from PNM or Otero County Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

Call us for emergency electrical service anywhere in Ruidoso Downs, or in nearby Glencoe, Ruidoso, Alto, and Lincoln.
