Why Orogrande properties call a local electrician
In southern New Mexico's desert, Orogrande 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.
Depending on your address, power in Otero 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.
We provide generator installation throughout Orogrande and in nearby Cloudcroft, White Sands Missile Range, Organ, and Sunspot.

Generator Installation FAQs for Orogrande
What size generator do I need for my Orogrande home?
It depends on what you want to run. Covering essentials such as the refrigerator, furnace fan, well pump, and lights takes a much smaller unit than running central air and an electric range. We do a load calculation and show you the options.
Can I plug a portable generator into my house?
Only through a transfer switch or a listed interlock with a proper inlet. Backfeeding through a dryer outlet is dangerous to you and to utility workers. We install safe connections for portable generators.
Natural gas or propane?
If you have natural gas at the street, it is the simplest choice. Many rural properties around Orogrande run generators on propane, which works just as well with a tank sized for the runtime you want.
Which areas around Orogrande do you cover for generator installation?
All of Orogrande and the surrounding Otero County communities, including Cloudcroft, White Sands Missile Range, and Organ.
